Monday.....Monday!
Oh, nothing is more dreadful than the sound of the alarm clock on a cold Monday morning in the middle of winter. Leaving the comfort of your nice warm bed to face the very long week ahead has got to be right up there with a root canal! As you struggle with the anchors that are weighing down your tired eyes, fill your mind with happy thoughts.....coffee....the possibility of a beautiful sunrise....coffee! Plus, you're one day closer to the weekend! Hope this helped in some small way to chase away the Monday morning blues and be thankful that we only have to do it once a week!!
So here's wishing you all a very happy Monday!!!
What a Character!
Happy Sunday Morning! Hope everyone is taking it a little slow this morning and taking extra time to enjoy that second cup of coffee! Me, I'm drinking up the last of my Pumpkin Spice coffee for the season and re-reading the rough draft of my second book! I finally have it right where I want it and I have to say - I am in love with this new book and the characters in it. I'm hoping that my readers will feel the same way that I do when they read it. Nothing kills a good book (for me anyway) more than characters that you can't connect with. I love books that pull me into them and make me feel like I know each character as if they were a friend or even an enemy of mine. It's so hard to say goodbye to your characters of one story and move on to the next. I'm eagerly trying to think of some idea's for book three. I've got lots of thoughts flowing, but nothing worth typing out in words.
So I guess I will just have to say goodbye to Nicole and Dailan and move onto my next saga! It's gong to be hard, but I know I can do it, just a few months ago I thought that I could never depart from Kat and Julian. But as long as people keep reading my books, my characters will become new friends to them and always hold a place in my reader's heart - I hope! I'm hoping to have this new book out in a few months - stay tuned for more details! Until then, get to know Kat and Julian in my current book available on amazon!

Remember When.....
So excited to have found a channel that plays reruns of the Brady Bunch! Every time I watch, it brings back so many memories for me! I pride myself in being able to name the episode within the first 5 seconds of it coming on - I know I'm a dork!
Who remembers:Coming home from school, doing your homework, watching an hour of the Flinstones followed by an hour of the Brady Bunch.Turning the knob on the tuner to move the antenna that was located on the roof of your house so the picture would come in tune. 3D TV what the heck was that? Using a rotary phone to talk your friends instead of typing in words and waiting for a reply.Being able to crank call the boy or girl that you liked and hang up when they answered without them knowing who was calling. Looking up a word in a paper dictionary instead of dictionary.com.Researching term-papers by sifting through the pages of an encyclopedia instead of surfing the internet. Tuesday night TV was Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley and Three's Company.When Laura Ingalls was the coolest girl around and Nellie Olsen was the meanest!When the coolest video game was two lines that moved about, hitting a dot back an forth.
Yes, maybe the kids of today have it a lot easier than we did, but do they have it better? I know I wouldn't trade my childhood and teenage memories in for any of the this newfangled technology or social media of today - would you?

Five More Months Till Open Toed Shoes!!
Well it's here, January 2nd. No more Christmas Carols, Christmas trees or holiday parties to look forward to, just the blah-blah days of winter! So, in an effort to see the glass half-full.... only five more months until you can break out those cute little open toed shoes that are buried deep within your closet! Maybe even sooner, for those of you that are lucky enough to live in a warm climate! Here's a whimsical little poem I wrote years ago to honor my open toed shoes:
Ode To My Opened Toe Shoes
The time has come to say goodbye, as I put you away I will try not to cry.Our days of fun and sun have come to an end. You will truly be missed, my faithful summer friend.No more pretty pedicures or shimmering toe rings, heavy socks and big old boots is what the winter brings.So I will sadly place you upon my closet floor, until summer rolls around again and we will meet once more.
So, here's hoping to warm toes, a speedy winter and a very happy new year!

Allow me to introduce myself...

"The Exception To The Rule" is a beautiful love story that not only encompasses on the love of a man and a woman but also - a parent and a child, friendships and those that are bound to us not only by blood but love.
I hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it! Be sure to look for it in giveaways - maybe you could be a lucky winner! Good luck and thanks for taking the time to check it out. Also stop by my Facebook page (Beth Rinyu-Writer) and give it a like for exciting updates
