#WisdomWednesday – The One Sure Thing in Life

In one of her songs Gloria Estefan sings that “the one sure thing is change.” She couldn’t be more right. As I look at the calendar and see that summer is almost “unofficially” over, I ask myself how did that happen? I feel as if the year is rushing by and there are so many changes going on in my life. My daughter is getting married and that’s life-changing for her, but also for hubby and me. We’re very happy to see her entering a new phase in her life. My writing is entering a new phase as well with my new Hallmark deal (SQUEAL!) and a very different book that I’ll be doing for Sourcebooks next year. There are lots of re-releases coming for the vampire books and also a Christmas wedding book in the At the Shore series. There are my weight loss and something else that I can’t tell you about now but will be truly life-changing for me in a good way. No make that in a GREAT WAY! Change. It’s the one sure thing in life besides that other thing that shall not be named. Yes, I mean taxes darn it! Have a great Hump Day!

#WriteWed – Why I love the Jersey Shore and a Free Read

I live for the warmer months down the shore where I can take long strolls along the boardwalk, sit under my umbrella and read a good book, and get out in my little garden to plant flowers and vegetables. I love being near the ocean and seeing its constant ebb and flow and all the life within its depths – except for the sharks. Luckily no close encounters with one of them. I also love the shore in the winter when I get to savor its peace and majesty without all the summer crowds. I’m blessed to live there and I love sharing it with you in my books, like ONE SUMMER NIGHT. Luckily, this Top 10 Publisher’s Weekly romance is free for the long holiday weekend!
