To Release or Not To Release? That is the Question?

When I first wrote Darkness Calls, my vampire romantic suspense novel, it was longer and grittier with more scenes with the serial killer. FBI Agent Diana Reyes and sexy Southern vampire Ryder Latimer were also edgier and their romance was more intense. A lot of that had to be cut due to length and content requirements for the New York City publisher who bought the book. So the question is: To release or not to release that original version? Inquiring minds want to know. Would you read that longer, more intense version of the novel?

P.S. – You can download the current version of Darkness Calls for free on Kindle Unlimited at https://amzn.to/3Ml6szD.

Greetings from Seoul, Korea!

As I write, I am in a small apartment in the Itaewon section of Seoul, Korea fighting off major jet lag! LOL! I left for Korea with my daughter and two of her friends who love all things Korean. I, too, love Korean things and plan on setting my next romantic suspense in this lovely city and country. Our adventure began when we left NYC yesterday for an uneventful 15-hour flight. Yes, 15 hours non-stop. It seemed long after the first four hours but once sleep kicked in, the time flew by. We were surprised at our arrival to find that my daughter’s long-distance friend was actually at the terminal with her family since they came to pick up a friend who was visiting. It was so nice to meet the young woman in person and we were able to converse in a common language: Spanish. She’s been studying it for several years and is quite fluent in it! Later this week we are going to visit with her family and her mom is going to give us a cooking lesson as we were unable to book one through any of the local tours. Can’t wait! Since jet lag has prevented us from sleeping, we decided to watch the sunrise from our rooftop deck before embarking on a day of exploring Seoul. Stay tuned for more pictures and updates.

Excited to be a Rising Creator

I’m so excited to see that Facebook recently gave me a Rising Creator Badge. I am so glad that you are enjoying the posts that I’m sharing with you! Thank you so so much for the friendship and support that has made that possible. Hoping you all have a fabulous Friday! We’re suffering through yet another waterlogged day. Honestly, I don’t know how people in Seattle or London deal with all the rainy weather.

Happy Friday and Local Summer

Happy Friday! I can’t believe that it’s the unofficial end of summer! I am so looking forward to a relaxing weekend and the start of local summer. That’s what they call it on the Jersey Shore when all the tourist and summer visitors are gone! I plan on spending some time in the garden and also, a lot of time reading on the beach. How about you? Any special plans?

First Harvests of the Season

The garden is looking well and we’ve already pulled out some radishes, tomatoes, and a couple of chili peppers. Basil, parsley, and celery are doing great as are most of the herbs except for the cilantro. I’ve never had any luck with it and won’t plant it again. I’ll share some flowers of the garden tomorrow but for now, a photo of my first real harvest. Not sure I’ll eat the nasturtium flowers, but I’m loving them in the garden! So many blooms! I’ll definitely plant them again next year.
