Happy Anniversary to ME!
Today is a big deal for me. One year ago today, I released my first self-published book, DARE TO LOVE. I can remember being scared, nervous and excited all at the same time. But the thing I remember most of all is how you all stepped up and made the day even better. You purchased DARE TO LOVE and you supported my Indie journey.
Anniversary Celebration!
To celebrate my one year anniversary and to thank you, I’m doing a giveaway:
5 Sets of Signed Copies of the Dare to Love Series
5 Carly Tote Bags and Gift Packs

I’m Back!
So I was at INDIE UNMASKED, a book signing in Indiana this past weekend. I always enjoy meeting people who’ve read me for years and bring my older books for me to sign. It’s so flattering and I really do appreciate it! I also get to do some fan girling of my own! I met R.K. Lilley, author of the Up in the Air Trilogy, something I loved during the whole Fifty/Indie explosion.
I admit to being well behaved for this one. No undo squealing LOL! Have you ever met someone you admire and made a fool of yourself? If you used to visit Plotmonkeys you’ll remember my Tom Selleck story …

Excercise Update
Not sure if I mentioned it but around June I started going to a trainer 2x a week. Two months later, I added a nutritionist. I cut most carbs and nearly passed out during detox … and kept to low sugar. My goal wasn’t to lose weight. I said to the nutritionist, I want to be healthy. I’m here because if I’m working out, I want to eat better. But I’ve tried so many diets and tried cutting things and that’s not me. Fast forward and it’s November. I’ve lost almost 8 pounds (which is fabulous for me) and my body is definitely changing. 
I have NEVER stuck to an exercise routine before in my life. Never stuck to a diet. I’m very proud of myself and I hope this lasts. I intend to try! Feel free to share your stories!

How Old is Too Old …
For a night club? On Halloween we went to a club in South Beach (Miami FL) called Wall in the W Hotel. We were invited by friends for their son’s 21st birthday. How was it? I thought I would die. DIE. At first, not so bad. Not too busy and music not terrible. Then at about 12:30 AM … the bass reverberated through my ENTIRE BODY and I had a massive panic attack. Then people started to flow in. I was near tears. We left … Mini Me’s (she’s 22) feet hurt so bad she took her shoes off but we had to walk home the 6 blocks b/c no cabs. Which she did barefoot. I had hubby’s jacket wrapped around me and I was hugging my bottle of water like it was a stuffed animal. I’m so pathetic!
I’m not even convinced I could have handled it when I was 20!
A our night at the club for Halloween, me, Mini-Me, and Hubby. I DID enjoy dressing up!
So … am I an old fuddy duddy?
