Interests and Impressions

My daughter’s favorite phrases lately are, “I’m not interested” and “I’m not impressed”. Different things, situations, and people evoke these different thoughts and sayings with her. If it’s something she doesn’t like, it doesn’t interest her. If it’s a person or something hyped up, she’s not interested. She’s always been a go her own way […]

Music Monday – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

There are many versions of this song, but as we are in the midst of the holiday season and holiday movies are everywhere, the movie this song always brings to mind for me is Meet Me In St. Louis. It’s not a holiday movie. It’s more about the state fair coming to St. Louis and […]

Guest – Sofia Grey

A Welsh Wolf in Wellington blog tour Cuba Street Since most of Sasha’s story takes place in Wellington, the compact and thriving capital city of New Zealand. I though it would be fun to feature a different part of the city – especially those mentioned in the book – on each tour ‘stop’. […]

Music Monday – Brave

Sara Bareilles is one of my very favorite artists. She writes songs that speak to me on various levels. Pain. Hurt. Happiness. Courage. Bravery. Fear. Love. Her words are honest at any given moment for whatever my state of mind may be. I love that about music in general and her music especially. If I […]

Hungry Hearts Holiday Cookie Hop

Kindle Happy Holidays! It’s that’s time again, to hop along with some of the hottest, food lovin’ romance authors around. ‘Tis the season for joy and hope and giving, no matter which holiday you celebrate. For me, it’s Christmas. I love baking all times of the year, but at this time of year, it’s extra […]

It’s the day after Thanksgiving…

Kindle…And people are or have been out shopping. Gravitating toward the best sales EVER! The stores open earlier, the crowds are larger, the discounts deeper… And yet, I stay at home. I like a deal just like everyone else, but I’ve worked retails and restaurant and service on holidays, I’ve been away from my family, […]

Music Monday – Save The Last Dance

Who could resist Bruce Willis singing Save The Last Dance… I’m not sure why this song has been on my mind lately, or songs like it. One of my favorite movies is The Wedding Date. I think I need to watch it soon. Maybe that’ll satisfy me… But for now, Bruce Willis singing… I love […]

New Release – The Cupcake Cowboy

IT’S HERE and I’m so excited! I had a wonderful time when I was in San Antonio earlier this year and though I had the idea for the story long before my visit, being there was more than enough to really get me all kinds of giddy to work more on this series. There are […]

Thankful Tuesday

I’m sorry to be late today with this. I’ve been working hard to get The Cupcake Cowboy ready for release. But, thanksfulness. Thanksgiving is next week and there’s much to be thankful for. This one will seem frivolous given everything that is going on in the world and in our own country… Music. I love […]

Music Monday – Santa’s Got A Brand New Bag

I’m breaking with tradition for a bit. See, I usually don’t start the Christmas music until the week of Thanksgiving, but I’ve started a little early. One of my favorite Christmas albums is by SheDAISY, Brand New Year. I love them, all their albums and one day they’ll have a new one, but for now, […]
