Sunday Scribblings

It’s one of those lazy, but not lazy Sundays. I’ve already been up since six, working on some revisions. I need to get going on creating promos for RT — fun ones, I hope. For those of you attending RT, make sure to get to the goody table so you can be one of the contestants in my on location RT contests. The grand prize winner will get a COMPLETE collection of all of THE CALLING Novels and all of my CHICAS novels, plus MORE THAN A MISSION.

What else is up with me? Here goes, but tell me what’s up with you on a typical Sunday?

Fashion Fridays – NOT!

Unfortunately, my Fashion Friday columnist Sammie is on hiatus. Sammie has been busy working on a project for a FCCLA meeting she’s attending as we speak. So instead, here’s a little something I had written for a short story contest.

By the way, the story is true and really one that touches me because it speaks to the honesty of people and the enduring bonds of friendship.

Guilty Pleasure Monday – Daniel Craig

Okay I have a confession to make. I’ve been a Bond fan since I was a young child. I read all the Ian Fleming novels and watched every movie — even the awful Timothy Dalton ones and dare I say, some of the really really awful Pierce Brosnan ones. (I forgive the latter since I fell in love with Brosnan in The Manions of America and of course, Remington Steele.)

I loved the suspense and spy stuff, but I think in the back of my head, I was hoping Bond would stop being a dog and find true love.

Anyway, when I heard they were looking for new Bond, I thought — tough shoes to fill. But dare I say this new Bond is . . . amazing. Absolutely hot and perfect for the role. What do you think?

Happy St. Pat’s from this Celt!

Whoa, you say. Who’s the Celt? You? Aren’t you Cuban?

Yes, I was born in Cuba, but my grandparents — all of them — were from the province of Galicia in the north of Spain. Galicia is a Celtic nation!

The language in that part of Spain is Gallego and it’s very similar to Portuguese, but also sounds quite a bit like Gaelic if you ask me.

Gallegos also use bagpipes, but a Gallego bagpipe has a different number of reeds inside of it.

Gallegos are oftentimes fair-skinned. I have lots of distant cousins who are red-haired and green-eyed. I get my green eyes from this side of the family. My dad’s side traces its roots to the Romans who conquered the region.

So Happy St. Pat’s from this distant Celt!
