Once Upon a #Romance Short, Fun & Flirty

Several years ago, my fabulous friend Lois Winston had three short stories published in charity anthologies. The rights to these stories recently reverted to her and she’s taken these stories and one more and published them as an ebook. ONCE UPON A ROMANCE, Four Short Love Stories, is now available for Kindle, and should be available for Nook, Kobo, etc. within the next few days.

If you get a moment, please check it out and give it some some love with likes/tags, etc.

Or feel free to give a shout out like this:

And now for some additional Friday Fun, here is a “Red Band” trailer for Sandra Bullock’s new movie THE HEAT with the always funny Melissa McCarthy. “Red Band” means the clip is for mature audiences, so if you’re not over 17, please don’t watch. My family and I love the comment at the end about the engagement! Check it out.

Fun Friday

I again want to thank all of you for your understanding, thoughts and well-wishes during the storm and its aftermath. I’ve shared some pictures of the damage in our towns and you can click here to see them.

Just to see the difference, check out the photo below of the Bradley Beach Centennial Fountain and then click here to see it now.

But for all the damage the ocean can do, it can also provide so much joy. I had some of that joy while I was down in South Carolina for the amazing Low Country Masterclass Retreat. It was wonderful to meet with so many interesting men and women and share what we all know about the craft and business of writing. I’ve posted some photos on Facebook for you and you can click here to see them!

Those little blobs you see in the ocean are dolphins. At one point we were only a few feet away from them. Amazing.

Here is some video of the dolphins!



Share your wardrobe malfunction & a chat today!

We’ve all had it happen. We’re walking along and POP goes the bra strap. Or at the worst possible moment, that easy-to-undo clasp or hook just doesn’t want to give.

My most embarrassing moment happened one day while I was walking through Grand Central Terminal and my slip fell right off and puddled around my ankles. I had lost weight and clearly the elastic was no longer in any condition to keep that slip up around my waist. So there I am, beige lace and nylon wrapped around my ankles! Worse yet, one of the secretaries from the office was walking right toward me! I don’t even remember how I did it and suspect Houdini would have been proud, but I managed to whip the slip right off and into my briefcase. Whew! If the secretary saw, she didn’t say thankfully.

How about you? On this Fun Friday, share one of your more humorous, embarrassing or even sexy wardrobe malfunctions! Remember, every comment you leave all this month counts as an entry in the May SIN HUNTER HUNTER SHORE SPECIAL CONTEST.

Also, I’m calling All Paranormal Romance Lovers to come visit with the wonderful and amazing Angela Knight and me today at 2 pm EST. You can click here to listen to a Blog Talk Radio interview as Angela and I talk about our series, what’s up in the world of paranormals and all other kinds of fun things!

Favorite Super Bowl Ads Vampire Party

Since it’s Friday, it’s time for a little fun! Many of you watched the Super Bowl like I did and there were some rather funny ads. Since I love me my vampires, I especially thought this one was funny!

If you can’t see the video below, you can click here to watch it!

What about you? Which were some of your favorite Super Bowl ads this year?

My Christmas Wish List

Visit with me today at the home of Anastasia Pollack, crafts editor and reluctant amateur sleuth (and my good friend Lois Winston!)

I’ll be talking about the one thing that’s on my Christmas wish list and would love to hear what’s on your wish list!

In the meantime, I so love NYC at this time of year. The City has on all its Christmas finest and I’m sharing some pictures that I took on our way to grab some lunch yesterday.

This is an amazing gingerbread house at the new Zabar area in Grand Central Terminal Market.

This is the tree in the lobby of the Chrysler Building. So lovely.

Hoping you all have a lovely weekend! See you all on Monday.
