Happy Friday Funnies

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.

Have a great weekend!

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!

Video Premiere for Lost in Little Havana

Hoping to have a little fun this Friday with the video premiere for Lost in Little Havana! I can’t believe release day is nearly here (only 46 more days!) and I hope you will enjoy meeting the Gonzalez family and their South Beach Security agency. The first book in the series features Trey Gonzalez and Roni Lopez, two Miami Beach police detectives who must solve a murder, find missing coeds, and prevent Roni from being killed! It’s an action-packed story set in and around Little Havana, South Beach, and Downtown Miami. You can pre-order your copy at https://amzn.to/36KrDcR.

Awesome Latina Heritage Author Panel

I’m taking part in an author panel with Isabel Cañas, Romina Garber, and Priscilla Oliveras. Many thanks to the Ashland Public Library and Bank Square Books for providing us with this opportunity to talk about our books!

Wishing You a Very Happy Labor Day Weekend

It’s hard to believe that Labor Day Weekend is already here! It’s the unofficial end of summer here on the Jersey Shore and come Tuesday it’s the start of what we call Local Summer. The beaches are way emptier but September and October are two of the most beautiful months on the beach. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I’m going to spend some time with friends and family and with a good book!

3 Things I Can’t Live Without

Many of us are blessed in this great country because we don’t lack basic things. I know I don’t lack many things and am grateful for the opportunities I’ve had for my family to prosper. But there are three things that I don’t think I could live without: books, television, and last but seriously not least, my laptop. I think it would pretty hard as a romance author not to be able to use my laptop to write or surf the net.

What about you? What are things that you don’t think you can live without?

A Fun Ride on the Capitol Wheel

I loved going to the RWA Conference last week and it was awesome to spend some time in the D.C. area. The conference was held at the Gaylord hotel which was a beautiful location as you might have seen from some of the photos I shared. I also got to do a little research for my baseball romances by attending a Nationals game. But I also faced a personal challenge by taking a ride on the Capitol Wheel. Why a challenge? Well, I’m really afraid of heights. Like phobic level afraid, but I’ve sworn to not let my fear of heights keep me from new adventures. Because of that I took a ride on the wheel and while it was scary, it was also amazing. The views of the Potomac and National Harbor were fantastic. This Fun Friday I’m sharing a teaser from my ride!
