Good morning! Hard to believe it’s Thursday already and time for a throwback! This one is not that far a throw since it’s from the 2014 RT Conference in New Orleans. Check out some of the Lucky 7 Bad Boys authors enjoying breakfast at the awesome Cafe du Monde. It was such a treat for us to get together to celebrate making the NY Times and USA Today lists with our Lucky 7 Bad Boys box set. Guess what? We’re doing another set for you in March of 2015! I won’t spill the beans about the theme just yet, but I promise you will enjoy the seven stories in the set.
#ThrowbackThursday My Best Friend & My Toy
I always wanted a convertible as a kid. I could picture myself driving along the road by the beach, listening to music, with the wind blowing my hair around. Fourteen years ago, I finally got my convertible and we have loved having it and driving around with the top down, enjoying the scenery. This is a picture of me and my best friend, my daughter, when we first got the Sebring.
#ThrowbackThursday The Kids’ Table
I remember being at the kids’ table as a kid and being so impatient about moving up to the adult table. Today’s Throwback Thursday is a look back at a kids’ table from many years back. Soon these kids’ kids will need a table of their own for Christmas Eve dinner! Very exciting.
#ThrowbackThursday Holiday Traditions & #Giveaway
One of our favorite holiday traditions is trekking out to the Christmas tree farm to chop down our tree and then trimming it together. The final addition to the tree is always the angel on top. It’s not a fancy angel, but it was one of the first things hubby and I bought together at a local Woolworth’s for our first Christmas.
It’s up to my hubby and our daughter to sit that angel at the tippy top of the tree. Here’s some photos of them finishing our Christmas tree.
Share one of your favorite holiday traditions for a chance to win a $10 gift card!
#ThrowbackThursday The Kids
With Thanksgiving almost here, it makes me think of all the things for which I am grateful, like all “the kids” in our family! This is a shot from the first Christmas with my daughter (all the way to the right in the red velvet and hiding behind a toy) and our youngest nephew (being held by his proud big brother).
They are all wonderful kids and I am so so happy that they are part of our family!
#ThrowbackThursday London 2010
In 2010 I was working on a series involving ancient relics and it was set primarily in London. I also had another book to write with more scenes in London and since my daughter was doing a study abroad there, it seemed like the perfect time to go and do some research. Just a few problems. It was Easter time and little did we know that there were a lot of “bank holidays” which meant some of the train lines weren’t working. Also, the Queen wasn’t in residence at Buckingham Palace but at Windsor Castle which meant we could walk the grounds, but not see the inside of the castle. 🙁
Still, we had an amazing time and I got to take lots of pictures of prospective locations and visit some of the places I wanted to include in the books.
Here is a photo of me, my daughter and my hubby outside Windsor Castle.
If you’d like to see more photos, you can check out this album! There are nearly 200 photos there.

#ThrowbackThursday A New York City Christmas & ONE LAST NIGHT
I love the Jersey Shore which is why I set so many of my books there, including the first two novellas in the Take a Chance series. But I also love New York City and have likewise set a number of books there, including almost all of The Calling is Reborn Vampire Novel series.
For a chance of pace, I decided to set the third novella in the Take a Chance series, ONE LAST NIGHT, in New York City.
Today’s Throwback Thursday are some photos that I took in 2011 during our annual Christmas jaunt to NYC!
We love going into the city and getting a chance to be tourists for a change. When you live or work somewhere, you sometimes don’t get the opportunity to really see how unique it is, so this is our time to explore and enjoy things we might normally miss.
