Happy National Baking Day

I know I promised you some photos today, but I thought I’d take some more at the book signing and parties and share tomorrow. Today I’m sharing National Baking Day. I’m a pretty good cook, but sadly, I don’t do much baking. I wish I were better at making pies, cookies, and breads, especially since I love eating them. Luckily, hubby has become a fabulous sourdough bread maker. How about you? Do you love to bake? P.S. In honor of Book Lovers Con, Harlequin is having a special sale.

Who is celebrating in May?

I had several people mention yesterday that they liked May because it was their birthday. Always a good reason to love a month. If you’re celebrating in May, either birthday, anniversary, or some other big event, let me know on my Facebook Fan Page and you may score a copy of DANGER IN DADE, #4 in the South Beach Security K-9 Division spinoff. P.S. There’s a May wedding to start ONE SUMMER NIGHT, the first book in the At the Shore Series. You can grab the e-book for only 99 cents at https://amzn.to/4lXp1Ko.

Rainy Day Book Event

It’s going to be a rainy day for our Belmar Beach Reader’s Book Fair and we’re hoping that won’t keep people away from visiting with us and all the other local authors at the event. My daughter and I will be there from noon to 4 pm! The book event is being held at the beautiful Taylor Pavilion, 500 Ocean Avenue, Belmar, NJ. I hope you can join us there but if not, what will you do on a rainy Saturday? P.S. Mention that you’re a follower on my blog and social media to score an author’s copy of CLIFFSIDE KIDNAPPING while supplies last!

Marzo è Pazzo

The Italians say that Marzo è pazzo which means March is crazy. I’ve got to agree with that. We’ve seen a rollercoaster of temperatures on the Jersey Shore, from the high twenties to today, when we will hit the low eighties! I’m going to take advantage of the weather and do some more planting. That’s the one thing that I love the most about March (besides my birthday!). I love being able to get started with some cold-hardy plants. What about you? What’s something that you love about March? P.S. Want to start your beach reading early? Then check out ONE SUMMER NIGHT, the first book in the At the Shore series and a Publishers Weekly Top 10 Romance. It’s specially priced at 99 cents. Grab your copy today at https://amzn.to/4bAG14B.

I love the Jersey Shore

I love dusk on the Jersey Shore when the sky is a melding of blue and pink and purple before night falls and the stars come out. Actually, I love a lot about the Jersey Shore. The strolls along the boardwalk. Reading under my umbrella during the summer. Dips in the ocean to cool off or search for seashells. My love for the Jersey Shore is one of the reasons I wrote the At the Shore Series. I wanted to share what I love through the stories of three best friends who have reached pivotal points in their lives. I hope you’ll check them out, especially since ONE SUMMER NIGHT, the first book in the series and a Publishers Weekly Top 10 Romance, is specially priced at 99 cents.

Fun at the Coastal Magic Convention

I’m having a great time meeting new authors, visiting with friends, and taking part in all the great panels and events at the Coastal Magic Convention. Yesterday I got to spend time with Mona Shroff and Sarah Nichols as well as act in this year’s murder mystery event. It was a blast to play the role of Pearl Gordon, the station chief for the Gear Harbor shipping docks. I traveled from table to table being interrogated since I was a suspect, and dropping clues so that people could guess who had committed the murder. I had a blast and I hope others did as well! Here are some photos from yesterday. I’m sorry I don’t have more, including some shots of yesterday’s rocket launch. Unfortunately, there were too many clouds that obscured the launch. If you’re in the Daytona Beach area, please drop by the book fair which is open to the general public from 4:30 to 6:30 at the Shores Resort and Spa ballroom.
