I’ve been watching THE KILLING and thinking, “Boy, Billy Campbell is still hot!” He first caught my eye in The Rocketeer and here we are over 25 years later and Billy is still handsome!
Hope you enjoy today’s Man Crush!

#FreebieFriday Win ARC of ONE SUMMER NIGHT & Jersey Shore Goodies
Good morning and Happy Friday! I love Fridays! The weekends give me a chance to sleep in an extra hour, get in a multi-hour writing jag, cook something fun, visit my daughter and last, but not least, take a long stroll on the boardwalk. Sigh, I so love Fridays.
Today’s “freebie” is a chance to win an ARC of ONE SUMMER NIGHT and some Jersey Shore goodies (pint glass, tote bag, lanyard (1) and more!)
For a chance to win, add ONE SUMMER NIGHT to your Goodreads Want to Read Pile by April 30th! You can do that here: One Summer Night
#ThrowbackThursday RT Book Cover 1999
Today’s throwback seems somehow appropriate since I’m going back to my contemporary romance roots with the At the Shore series. I’ve been very happy to hear all your positive comments about how much you liked those original novels and how you’re looking forward to the new stories. ONE SUMMER NIGHT will be out in October 2017 and I think you will really love that Romeo and Juliet tale. It’s even got a balcony scene, but not in the way you might expect. Please take a moment to add ONE SUMMER NIGHT to your Want to Read pile on Goodreads!
This is the cover of my very first novel, NOW AND ALWAYS, on the cover of Romantic Times magazine. I was told by a reputable source that the cover model was the famous John DeSalvo.
#ManCandyMonday A Kellan Lutz Giphy for you!
We’re having a little fun today with some animated Man Candy! This is sexy Kellan Lutz in a Calvin Klein ad. Thanks to Giphy for the fun!
#FunFriday Anastasia the Musical is finally here!
If there was something we were waiting for more than the live action Beauty and the Beast, it was one of our absolute favorite movies finally making to Broadway: Anastasia!
My daughter and I loved the songs, the history and of course, the romance. It was such an awesome animated movie. When we heard there was talk of a Broadway show, we waited and waited and tomorrow, the big day is finally here! We are going to see Anastasia on Broadway! Yeah!
Here is one of the amazing songs from this movie. Click here if you cannot see the Anastasia video below or use this link: https://youtu.be/RkmYWdz75JY
#WriteWed A Paranormal with the Terracotta Army?
Right now I’m in Contemporary Romance mode with the At the Shore series. In fact, I am finishing #2 and just got back the copyedits on #1 – One Summer Night (Oct 2017).
But I like to dabble in the paranormal from time to time and have often thought about what interesting things could be used as a basis for a new story. The Knights Templar and the Holy Grail? Sure. Even researched that one when I was lucky enough to go to London. It’s still a work-to-be-developed.
Another concept that I thought would be fun is a story revolving around the amazing Terracotta Army. Imagine over 8000 soldiers, chariots, and horses made of terra cotta that could somehow come back to life to serve their emperor.
That’s exactly what one farmer found as he was digging a well. Archaeologists evenutally did additional investigations and discovered the immense city of the dead which is estimated to cover over 38 square miles. I would love to visit the museum there one day and see the terra cotta army and structures for myself!
What do you think? Inspiration for a story?
#TravelTuesday Some of my favorite places!
I don’t know about you, but I love to travel. My one big problem with traveling, however, is that I hate to fly. Totally hate to fly. Despite that, I have been able to go to a number of places for both work and pleasure. I still have lots of places I’d like to go and today I’m sharing my Pinterest board of all of those locales!
Take a moment to tell me about somewhere you’d like to travel!
