Favorite Friday
I was checking out the reviews on my books and ran across this one. This kind of feedback is music to a writer’s ears. Thought I would share:
“Choices”. The word “enhanced” is a perfect description of this book. In its original form it was so enjoyable and the new, updated story does not disappoint. I was so eager to read it that I startled the UPS delivery man by running out to greet him when the book arrived. I have recommended it to my friends and let them know you are back and better than ever.

Taking A Chance
Looks like Taking A Chance is going to be book one of a new series. I love it when characters become so alive that they speak to you. I’ve got two men telling me that they want their own women. Why should Archer Channing be the only one to get as woman in his life?
Alex is slick and quick. Looks like Lucy might just be the one to handle him.
As for Max, his bark is definitely as bad as his bite. I think Lydia, whom I only know by name, might just turn out to be his counterpart. I’m getting combat gear if these two do end up in the same book. Quiet it won’t be.
As for Archer, he is taking Randi to his house to wash off mud and answer questions. Too bad Lucy is coming along. Things are going to be very interesting this afternoon.

New Facebook Page
I have created a new facebook page. This site is devoted to writers, both published & unpublished, writing and promotion of writing. Through twitter, my blog and my other facebook page I have have met so many of you and I am enjoying the contact and the growth that comes with each new friend as he or she talks about our craft and the industry itself.

Book Review
Love twitter. I am meeting so many new writers and getting great support in the bargain. For a reader/writer like me that is heaven. Just read my first book from Regina Puckett and it won’t be my last. I fell for the title Eccentric Odds & Ends. It was a collection of short stories. Sounds normal maybe even average but these stories are anything but either. Every tale caught and held my attention. How she managed to crowd so many twists and turns into so few pages is a wonder. Each was thought provoking and intense. The endings will surprise you and demand you think of the tale long after you move to the next story.

Great Way To End A Busy Week
Finishing up the last audio recordings for Care Giving: Real Life Answers. I have already uploaded the cover and I am also finishing the promo packages to be mailed and delivered to various sites.
Hurray for Twitter. Less than 50 more followers and I have hit the 2000 mark. Facebook and Goodreads are also picking up followers. Thanks to you all for your support.

A Donkey Is Not A Mule
Every morning, before I can dive into whatever book I am writing, the animals on the farm must be fed. The task usually makes me laugh as my dogs and my donkeys enjoy playing and pulling tricks on each and me. One of my donkeys, unfortunately no longer with me, gave me an idea for the story I am working on right now, Taking a Chance.
Archer Channing and Randi Major have met but under far different circumstances than this moment. Mr. J. plays a major roll. It went like this:
So be a nice mule and don’t chase me, ok?” With every word Randi took one more step closer to escape.
“Mr. J. is a donkey not a mule.” The deep male voice was the catalyst.
The donkey let out a defiant bray and charged.
Randi tossed the umbrella and her dignity and rushed the steps. The rain slipped rotten boards could have been a iced over pond for all the traction she had. She skidded to the ground off balance and almost cartwheeled into mud puddle. She landed bottom first, her wet hair dripping in her eyes and the donkey braying in triumph from the porch. The rain stopped as though someone had turned off the faucet. She cursed mentally as she swiped the sopping strands off her face. She looked up as the sound the masculine laughter and the snort of another animal, a horse, a lot closer than the donkey.
This picture is what Randi would have seen, especially the one on the right. Donkeys are noisy and very vocal, usually at the top its lungs, when they have something to say.
