Fun Friday – A new addition to the blog

I could not wake the inner Fashionista this morning. The weather was gloomy and wet. The only thing I could think about was slipping on my Columbia rain/winter boots so that my feet wouldn’t get wet.

I hate wet feet. Must be the cat in me!

Actually, the more I thought about, the more I realized how hard it is for me to do the Fashionista thing on a regular basis now that my daughter is on hiatus due to the demands of school.

So it occurred to me to spice Fridays up by offering some fun stuff that I can do! So, look for Fun Fridays on a regular basis. I’ll be posting things you can do on the ‘Net as well as possibly some humorous jokes that have come my way.

To get you started – some online puzzles. When I was a kid, my mom, sis and I would spend hours together working on puzzles. One time it took us a few months to finish one of those really complex gazillion piece puzzles, but we did it!

These are simpler and hopefully will give you a fun way to take a break today. Continue reading “Fun Friday – A new addition to the blog”

Thoughtful Thursday – Hope and Sadness

My wonderful friend and fellow author Irene Peterson always seems to find something interesting to send my way. Whether it’s something about a weird paranormal adventure or in this case, the land of my birth — Cuba.

Yesterday Irene sent me a link about the renovations going on in Old Havana. The New York Times article talks about Eusebio Leal Spengler and how Mr. Leal was given extraordinary powers by my friend (NOT!) Fidel, who allows Mr. Leal to collect taxes and use the profits from tourism in the old center to rebuild this area. (Collect taxes and use the profits? Sounds suspiciously like capitalism to me, but what do I know?) Continue reading “Thoughtful Thursday – Hope and Sadness”

And now to this Wicked Wednesay day treat! Those of you who have been following THE CALLING vampire novels may have seen that there are different kinds of kisses a vampire can bestow. There’s the kiss to make a keeper or one for that night’s meal for starters. For more on the different kinds of kisses, including the ultimate kiss, you can visit the Vampire Rules section at THE CALLING site where I’ll shortly be adding another rule — one having nothing to do with a vampire’s kiss. If you’ve read FATE CALLS, you may have already realized what it is!

For today, however, I’m going to leave you with a little sampling from FATE CALLS in HOLIDAY WITH A VAMPIRE. Continue reading “Wicked Wednesday – The Ultimate Vampire Kiss”

Guilty Pleasures Monday – Chasing Away the Chill

Hot Buns Chase Away the ChillIt occurred to me that we had grown fixated on abs and that sexy little V all through last year and so I decided to give you a change of pace — some nice hot buns to chase away the winter chill.

I don’t know about you, but winter is my least favorite season primarily because I hate the cold. I can tolerate the rain, even the gloominess and yes, even the snow, but not the cold. I’m convinced that it’s because I’m just not genetically ready for it yet. Having been born in Cuba, my body craves heat and not ice (except maybe in my mojito). Continue reading “Guilty Pleasures Monday – Chasing Away the Chill”

Wicked Wednesday – Wickedly Busy

Sorry to not have posted today, but I’m in the throes of finishing up revisions for the next CALLING book — FURY CALLS — which is about Meghan Thomas and sexy punk vampire Blake Richards from DESIRE CALLS.

I absolutely love how this book has turned out. Meghan and Blake are wonderful together and there is a deliciously awful villian — a Chinese vampire known as a kiang-shi. You can read more about the kiang-shi mythology by clicking here. Continue reading “Wicked Wednesday – Wickedly Busy”
