Happy National Crossword Puzzle Day

Happy National Crossword Puzzle Day! I used to love getting the paper to do the crossword puzzle or the word search games. But Sudoku? Not so much. I could never get into it. What about you? Would you do a crossword puzzle or Sudoku to relax? What about Wordle? My hubby does that every day, and occasionally I help him. P.S. If you love cold cases, danger, and K-9 heroes, pre-order COLD CASE K-9! Gabriella’s sister vanished from a scout camp years ago… and now a hiker is missing on the same trail. A serial killer is on the loose and the hiker is running out of time. Can Gabriella and K-9 Poppy and her handler, Diego, find her before it’s too late? https://amzn.to/48qzo4R.

Fun Christmas Nail Decorations

It’s almost time for me to do some fun Christmas Nail decorations in time for Christmas Eve! I had recently done a snowman and snowflake, and I’m wondering, should I do those again or something new? Maybe a Santa? What do you think? Snowflake? Snowman? I’d love to know! P.S. December book drops come in *hot*, and this girl could use a little backup. If **COLD CASE K-9** isn’t on your pre-order list yet, now’s your moment. It storms onto shelves on December 30th, and I cannot wait for you to sink your teeth into it! https://amzn.to/48qzo4R

Happy National Cupcake Day

**Happy National Cupcake Day!** Let’s take a moment to appreciate the hero we didn’t know we needed, **Amelia Simmons**, who first mentioned “cakes baked in little cups” way back in 1796 in *American Cookery*.

Beautiful Holiday Lights

Some of my favorite things about the Christmas season are the lights and decorations that people put up, as well as the various light shows in the area. We have the lights up at our house, and while hubby prefers only white lights, I love having colorful lights up on the house and tree. What about you? Do you love white lights for decorating or colorful lights? P.S. For a flavor of the holiday season on the Jersey Shore and in NYC, grab your copy of ONE SUMMER NIGHT today for only 99 cents at https://amzn.to/4r1gyZ1.

Happy National Brownie Day

Happy National Brownie Day! Although no one made brownies for yesterday’s cookie exchange, it’s not because we don’t love them! We do! I love fudgy brownies with a crispy edge. I even have one of those pans that lets you have edges on each brownie! What about blondies? I confess I rarely order blondies. They don’t call to me as much as regular brownies. What about you? Would you pick a brownie or a blondie? P.S. Please help a girl out by pre-ordering COLD CASE K-9 at https://amzn.to/41V8fCA. These non-Christmas holiday releases are really hard. Sigh.

Happy National Cookie Day!

Happy National Cookie Day! I love cookies, although I’ve been avoiding them lately as I try to lose weight. Again. Sigh. But when I do have an occasional cookie, it’s usually an Oreo, which is one of my favorites. I wish I were a better baker because my absolute fav cookies are snickerdoodles. I actually plan on making some of those, as well as pretzel crack, for this weekend’s cookie exchange. I wish I could channel Chef Carlo from NEVER A BRIDE since I’m not really much of a baker. I love to cook, but not to bake. Wish me luck, and if you haven’t read NEVER A BRIDE yet, grab your copy of this friends-to-lovers story at https://amzn.to/4phy2PE. But now for the all-important question! If you could only pick two cookies to eat, which would you pick?
