In the meantime, the dogs say hi!

One of those Days
I had a few days away with my husband this past weekend which was amazing. Came home and it seems like things fell apart in 12 hours. Nothing terrible but I honestly had a really crappy Monday. I felt like I was back in high school today and I don’t like the feeling. The good news is despite that, DARE TO SURRENDER’s rough draft is complete except for the Epilogue. Yay! Sorry today’s blog is lame. It is what it is!
So I’m going to finish watching 24. JACK’S BACK! Or as my friend said, once you go Jack, you never go back. And then I am going to get some sleep and hope tomorrow is a more fun filled day.
Who watched 24? What did you think? I love Jack and I was happy with the return!

Fast Talking Dialogue in TV
You know what I’m talking about – or maybe you don’t. TV shows like The West Wing, Suits or Scandal. Those shows when the characters talk so fast and while in motion you wonder if any human being ever talks like that. I have to say in some shows it works – I The West Wing it did for me, Suits … well Harvey Specter, need I say more? Works. But Scandal? Not so much. So does anyone else ever notice this? Do you like it or does it drive you nuts? Call me curious!

DARE TO LOVE by CARLY PHILLIPS
When it comes to family, Ian Dare gives his all but in relationships he offers the bare minimum. Until one glimpse of sensual Riley Taylor arouses his dominant and protective instincts. He will do anything to possess her … and does. But any future with Riley must include him dealing his half-brother who is a constant reminder of the pain he’d rather forget.
Riley Taylor believes herself immune to domineering men – until charismatic Ian Dare turns a simple kiss into an all out assault on her senses and she discovers she likes his brand of control in the bedroom. As their affair heats up, they soon realize they complete each other in ways neither imagined. But Riley’s past is closer than she cares to remember, and her struggles with Ian’s dominance might just cost her everything.
MORE AUCTION NEWS. . . I’d like to introduce you to another one of our fabulous sponsors for this year.Jenna Black got her BA in physical anthropology and French
from Duke University. Once upon a time, she dreamed
she would be the next Jane Goodall, camping in the bush
making fabulous discoveries about primate behavior.
Then, during her senior year at Duke, she did some actual
research in the field and made this shocking discovery:
primates spend something like eighty percent of their
time doing such exciting things as sleeping and eating.
Concluding that this discovery was her life’s work in
the field of primatology, she then moved on to such
varied pastimes as grooming dogs and writing technical
documentation. She is now a full-time writer. Replica,
the first book in her new dystopian young adult trilogy,
was awarded a “perfect 10” by VOYA Magazine. The second
book, Resistance, was released in March, and the final
book, Revolution, will be released in November.Jenna writes: “All the women on my mother’s side of
the family—including my grandmother, mother, and three
aunts—have suffered from diabetes. This winter, the
disease took the life of one of those aunts. I have
always been a supporter of the Brenda Novak Auction,
but this year I am sponsoring the auction in memory
of my dear aunt, Merle Arnold Clark.”
