Little Things Mean A Lot

Last week I talked about how much I love the holidays, and I do. But the holidays also can be overwhelming too. So much to do, so little time…and that’s why we need to celebrate the simple things in life.

So what are these simple things?

For me, the simple things so far this season are: a fuzzy blanket, sparkly lights, sappy holiday movies that any other time of the year would make me roll my eyes, red velvet stockings hanging from the mantle, an advent calendar, and an ivy candy dish that belonged to my mom.

I don’t need bling, or presents, or crazy crowds to celebrate the joy of the season. The little things are enough for this writer. And that can be said in writing my stories as well. What I think connects a reader to a character are all the little things that make that character come to life.

So what are your simple things this holiday season?

Holidays are Coming!

Those of you who have followed my blog for a while know that I love holidays. It starts with the amazing Halloween (I would have to hand in my paranormal author card if I didn’t celebrate that holiday to the best of my ability.) Followed by Thanksgiving, which might not be a “blingy” holiday, but is about home, and family, and comfort.

Now I’m in Christmas mode. My tree is up and decorated. This year’s theme is a classic Christmas. Reds, greens, and golds. My inspiration? A dear friend of mine who is a talented quilter made me a gorgeous table runner as a gift. So my theme for this year was locked in!

Check it out  – amazing right!

And from that came my ideas for my tree and mantle! So what do you think??

Tiara Wars

Last week was the release of the latest in my paranormal wedding planner series, TO HAVE AND TO HOWL. If you saw my blog last week, you also saw that my release day tiara picture included my boy cat. He insisted that he wanted to be in the pics, or so I thought at the time…

If you missed last week’s blog and want to see those pics, feel free to click HERE.

So after I posted my blog, I realized that being part of the picture was NOT what boy cat was after. What he really wanted was the tiara.

A battle ensued shortly after that, and below, you can see the picture of who came out as the victor of the tiara wars! After his victory, he apparently was tuckered out from the battle and needed to take a catnap as shown in pic two!

Both Prince Dillon and I want to thank you for spreading the news about my newest release. I hope you are enjoying the story!

 

TO HAVE AND TO HOWL Release Day!

Yay!!! It is finally here. TO HAVE AND TO HOWL is heading out into the world. I am so excited to share the next book in this fun series with you.

The book has some twists and turns in it, which made it fun to write. Julia is an amazing heroine because she is trying to allow her heart to open again to the possibility of love. And Jack, well he is a great hero. I usually have a crush on all the heroes I write, but there is something special about Jack. And of course, his twin Connor plays a huge role in this book too. The brothers may look alike, but boy, do they have different personalities!

As usual, I am spending time celebrating my newest release as a kickbutt writer princess should – with my tiara securely perched on my head! Here is my newest release day pick…but I have to warn you that this is what happens when you have cats and you try to take a selfie!!
