Who doesn’t like anything covered in chocolate? Except for maybe books. That might be a little too messy! LOL! My fav chocolate-covered things are strawberries and pretzels. I love the sweet/salty thing on the pretzel. As for other chocolate-covered things I’ve tried, how about bacon and potato chips? Again, I love that sweet/salty combo. What about you? What is your fav chocolate-covered thing? And what thing wouldn’t you eat? For me, it would be chocolate-covered insects. No way!
We have a number of Christmas traditions, like putting up the Christmas Village and placing the angel the top of the tree. With us downsizing the Christmas Village has also been downsized and moved to all new spaces in the house. As for the angel, well my daughter has her own home now and so hubby needed a different helper to get the angel at the top of the tree. Slate didn’t mind, although he seems a little too fascinated by the tree this year. Let’s hope he doesn’t pull it down and break some of the more fragile ornaments.
You may wonder what a romance author does when they’re not busy writing their next book! Well, at this time of year, this romance author is busy getting out all the Christmas decorations and getting the house ready for the holidays. I managed to get most of the boxes out two days ago and yesterday was Day 1 of prep. I’m sharing what I got done so far and what I have left to do. Sigh. So many things to do!

For many many years, we had the lovely tradition of spending Thanksgiving with my sister and her family. But then Covid came around as well as some other circumstances and now we travel for the Thanksgiving holiday. While we were away we had a chance to visit somewhere I’d never been before but had heard about often. Can you guess where in the world I am? I’ll give you some clues! It’s a coastal city that was once the largest in the state. Named for a Spanish leader, it was run by French pirates for a number of years. P.S. – While you’re trying to figure it out, I hope you’ll check out Lost in Little Havana at https://amzn.to/3FT144d.
I don’t know about you, but I have a bunch of books on my TBR pile and on my e-reader. Hopefully, I’ll be able to take some time soon to do some reading. I hope you’ll make time as well to get your copy of Lost in Little Havana, the first book in the South Beach Security series. I’m so excited for you to read this book which has one of my favorite tropes: Friends to lovers. Also, falling in love with best friend’s older brother! Troublesome, right? But as Trey and Roni battle the deadly danger in their current investigation, it’s impossible for them not to explore the passion rising between them. Lost in Little Havana is available from me and Harlequin Intrigue at https://amzn.to/3FT144d.
What’s the hardest thing about writing romance? You guessed it: the love scenes. Always hard to gauge the level of spice and also make it unique for each couple. That’s why when people ask how to do it, I always have a hard time explaining. Maybe this picture helps! LOL! Have a great weekend! P.S. – Only 25 days until the release of Lost in Little Havana. You can get your copy at https://amzn.to/36KrDcR.
I’m going to be busy helping my daughter with some chores this weekend and hopefully some more writing now that we’re back from our girls’ trip (more on that next week!) I hope you all have a great weekend and to start it off, I’m leaving you with this little funny about how I sometimes feel when I’m reading a book. Also, thanks to everyone who took part in yesterday’s Halloween Mash!
