2015 A Few of My Favorite Things

Happy Holidays!

This post has become something I have done for years now and it’s always fun to do and narrow down to those few things that make me smile and happy, make my life easier and/or cozier, better all around. I don’t like to bog it down with a million things because let’s face it, there are TONS of awesome items out there, but these through this year, are a few of my favorite things.

*In no particular order

1. Sherpa Throw

I just bought this as part of the holiday collection from Target and there is already a household battle for it. This blanket is the perfect cozy throw to cuddle under this winter on the couch. The design is perfect for my red theme holiday decor but will easily go for the rest of winter. It also comes in other designs, so no fear if you don’t like this one or this color. They show only two on this link, but if you search throws, there are more. $19.00 Here is the link: Target Blanket

2. Kate Spade Gold Bow Earrings and Caged Bird Bracelet

I bought these two items in October and absolutely I adore them. I wore them both to the Philly signing in November. S. L. Jennings was wearing the same earrings in silver – How cool is that! I think these earrings are beyond adorable, they’re also very classic and refined. They can be worn with jeans and sweater or a fancy dress. I’ve worn them with both and just love the look of them. They make me feel pretty and who doesn’t want to feel pretty. The bracelet has sentimental meaning for me. I have two books that touch on the caged bird theme so when I saw this bracelet, I just had to have it. It’s two love birds inside, solid in weight, which I love. And how it goes on is great in design. Both are sold out on the Kate Spade website but easily found on others like Amazon and in different colors. Prices vary. Bracelet Earrings

3. Kindle Paperwhite

I still shout from the rooftops every chance I get about this product. It’s made my Favorites list for several years running for a reason. It’s awesome. It’s the best Kindle and ereader out there in my opinion. I’ve spent many a night over this past year reading in bed while the hubs quietly snoozed beside me and I never had to worry about waking him up by an annoying lamp being turned on a screen blinding him. The backlight is adjustable and awesome for indoors and out. Which seems to be the big divider when it comes between reading on this device and a tablet. This screen is matte and doesn’t reflect the sun when outside, so you can comfortably read lounging on the beach in full sun or inside. I love my Paperwhite and purple case. $119 Paperwhite

4. Totes the Goat – Free Game on the IOS App Store

Seriously cute game that I got for my kids on my iPhone but have played many times myself. They’ve now downloaded it onto their iPad too. It’s FREE, great for all family members, and super FUN. Oh and the other characters, especially Oats the baby Goat are adorable. Look how cute. Check it out here: Totes the Goat

5. La Croix – Passionfruit

Okay, this may seem like a strange thing to add, but it’s delicious and zero everything in it so not bad for you. Just give it a try. Mmmmm $5 or under

6. Vikings/Ragnar Wine Glass

This glass was a gift from Susan Rayner and Adriana Locke. We all three share a love for the show Vikings and have many a chat and gif session about it. My personal fave character is King Ragnar. This glass showed up one day and I was like, “Where have you been all my life?” I kissed it. Yes, I kissed Ragnar. I love this glass and use it regularly. I also love that you can get your own personalized glass with any design from Rebecca Parker, who made this one. Prices vary. Check out her inventory or create your own. Here’s her FB link: Glasses

Now that I’ve shared a few of my favorite things that I already own, here’s a small wish list of mine that I’ve made for my family this holiday season:

1. The Amazon Echo – I’m still not entirely sure of all the things this thing can do, but some of the basic things, I’m all for and want. *gets all grabby hands* It’s listed at $179, but has gone on sale several times for $30 off. I’m thinking we might see another sale by the end of the year. Amazon Echo

2. Oven Mitts – I know. I know. This is the most boring… okay, almost most boring gift ever, but for some reason I never think to buy new ones and mine are like 10 years old and worn out. lol

3. Okay, this I got. Yep, my phone was old and some things were not working how they should so I treated myself to a new Rose Gold iPhone 6s during the Black Friday sales. I’m in love so far. I don’t carry a purse much so I’m a little worried about when I go out on the town next and if it will fit in my pocket or whatever small money holder I take, but I guess we shall see. Loving it so far and it’s pretty. Phone

4. I’m a big giftcard person. I love them. I do. Here are some I’ve put on my Christmas list:

-Nordstrom for Nordstrom Rack

-Amazon

-Target

5. Hand Massager

Legit for my hands. I hear it really does helps with tired wrists, carpal tunnel, and tired muscles. It’s on my wish list for sure. This one is from Sharper Image. Buy Here

What are some items on your Wish List? What do you have already on my lists and love or what do you desire?

Have a great one,

Suzie

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Happy December!

There are so many things happening that I'm excited to share. Hope you continue reading until the end of the post. But first, I hope you're well. this year has just been so awesome and crazy busy. How has your year been?

Let's start with Until I Met You. Until I Met You was written from the depths of my soul. The words poured out of me and these characters just came alive in my heart. They shattered me into a million pieces and then healed my soul. If you've already met Hazel & Jude, thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart for the lovely support you've shown me.

If you haven't had a chance to meet these star-crossed lovers, you can pick up your copy for FREE if you are part of Kindle Unlimited reader's program. OR it's only $2.99 right now on Amazon. You can score your copy here: Until I Met You on Amazon

From New York Times Bestselling Author, S. L. Scott, comes this stand-alone romance. Their love burned bright, white hot, and strikingly blue around the edges.

Some thought them careless.

Some thought them crazy.

No one approved.

Taylor Barrett was looking for answers in a universe that had abandoned him.

Jude Boehler flooded her dark world with charisma and mystery, drawing everyone into her hurricane.

It was a most captivating of love affairs. They were shooting stars, meteors in the sky, colliding to create a spectacularly wonderful reckless romance, leaving them breathless and tethered.

Their souls were exposed to the chaos, bare and vulnerable. Can these two star-crossed lovers survive the madness that is life?

S ee what Amazon reviewers are saying :

"Wow! I am utterly and completely blown away by this book. It is refreshing and unique; unlike anything I've read all year!" ~ Amy from Once Upon A Book Blog

"This book is just phenomenal. Epic Romance. It was utterly stunning." ~ Book Reviewer

"It was so refreshing to read such an original story! I have never read anything like it and it totally sucked me in." ~ Erica M."Wow!! What a journey! S. L. Scott has outdone herself! This book was so different from anything I've read." Amanda D.

"This is real love. Complicated, hard, happy and funny. This was a perfect emotional release and escape." ~ Tiana J. Review, GR

"The epic love story of two people that should never make sense and do. I could explain why writing those words brings tears to my eyes. How through the words of S.L. Scott I believe. S.L. Scott makes me believe - love is sad, love hurts, love is pure, and love is true." ~ Andrea J. GR

"Until I Met You is the perfect balance of heart-breaking reality coupled with romantic optimism. Scott's ability to craft visual imagery is similar to a love that lingers - a feeling not confined to the fictional pages of a story." ~ Ashley Pullo, Author

Until I Met You - New Book and Cover Reveal

SURPRISE!
I have a new book coming out on October 26th. Until I Met You is an emotional journey and these characters spoke to my soul. I love Hazel (Taylor) and Jude (Judith) so much. I hope you give this standalone a try.

~ Until I Met You ~

Their love burned bright, white hot, and strikingly blue around the edges.

Some thought them careless.

Some thought them crazy.

No one approved.

Taylor Barrett was looking for answers in a universe that had abandoned him.

Jude Boehler flooded her dark world with charisma and mystery, drawing everyone into her hurricane.

It was a most captivating of love affairs.

They were shooting stars, meteors in the sky, colliding to create a spectacularly wonderful reckless romance, leaving them breathless and tethered.

Their souls were exposed to the chaos, bare and vulnerable. Can these two star-crossed lovers survive the madness that is life?

Add to Goodreads HERE so you get that reminder of it's release on October 26th.

Here's the beautiful cover by Okay Creations.

And just for fun, here's an EXCERPT:

Entering his building made her feet lighter. She was being carried on the wings of euphoria, each step easier than the last. She wasn’t walking to her future. She was running toward it. Taking a breath, she held it, and knocked on his door.

The door opened and he stood there with his lips parted and confusion furrowing his brow. “Jude?”

Throwing herself forward, she jumped up and wrapped her body around his and kissed him. Then again. He kicked the door closed and held her against it. When they parted, they remained close enough to share their panting breaths. He said, “You’re here.” When he pressed his abs against her center her head knocked hard on the wood and he kissed the exposed skin of her neck where it met her shoulder.

He was strong. He was virile. “Hey,” she said, bringing his face up to see hers.

Lowering her down until her feet touched, he said, “I thought we were meeting at the park?”

“I couldn’t wait.”

His glorious smile chose to shine on her. “I’m glad you didn’t. Do you want to go to the bedroom?”

Giggling, she replied, “Yes, so much, but I need to talk to you first.”

“Okay.” He walked to the couch and she stared gob-smacked by his allure. Jeans that hung low. No shirt. Boxers peeking out the top, but a V that directed her eyes below the waistband. He was a tease as he stood there waiting for her to join him. Sitting on the couch, he patted it. “C’mere.”

She started walking on shaky legs. As she passed the bar, she debated if she should stay there to save her clarity. That seat next to him was tempting, but she knew she’d be flat on her back within seconds. So she hurried to his side and sat down. His hands were instantly on her.

Can't wait to share their story with you.

XO,

S.

Sneaky Peek - Next Book - Secret Project

So even though I can't give any details like name, release date, cover, synopsis - all the things that make up a book, I decided I was going to share a sneaky peek inside. WOOT! Here ya go:
©S. L. Scott 2015

“What do you do for money?”

“My profession?” He watched the peculiar girl twirl away from him. Her skirt ballooned out, brushing against his gray wool covered legs.

But she stopped and replied, “No, just in the general sense.”

One of his eyes squinted, completely confused by the nonsensical question. “I’m an architect.”

She seemed to agree. “That makes sense.” She left this time while he watched her go, but she didn’t walk. She floated. She danced her way in red snow boots through the stiff crowd dressed in suits and evening attire. The girl wearing a chartreuse sundress with little pink flowers embroidered around the bottom in the middle of winter stood out at this party and completely captivated him.

There were plenty of people he knew and some he should talk to, but he didn’t move from where he was standing. He waited for her, confused to as why, but he did.

She returned as if they were lasting friends, as if she had no doubt he would still be there, waiting.

The young architect and the girl in the sundress stood next to each other in silence. The brownie had been eaten, and a cocktail now replaced it in her hand, which she waved flagrantly to the music not noticing—or not caring—that the liquid was spilling as she moved.

Finally speaking up, he asked, “How many drinks have you had tonight?” But he really wanted to ask if she was drunk. He had never seen someone so careless before, so carefree before. She twirled again, and he swiftly took the glass from her and set it down on the table. For the safety of the drink, of course.

“This is my first.”

.....

Hope you enjoyed. Coming Soon with more details too. hehe
