Making Marriage Work in 5 Minutes a Day Beating Midlife Frump

Latest with Laina Oct. 2nd

Hi lovely readers! It’s been a few weeks. See you let me go out of town, and I get off my routine.

First, I want to say a happy fall. I can’t believe it’s October, but I’m excited as it’s one of my favorite months. I am one of those who loves everything pumpkin. Plus, as much as I enjoy the heat of summer nothing beats crisp fall days and the colors of the trees…AMAZING.

Last week I started back to boot camp with my friend Kathy. I’d taken a few months off because I hurt my hip (and I was lazy). It’s at 5:30 am, and while I don’t enjoy getting up that early and, to be honest, I don’t even enjoy it that much, but the timeframe fits best with my schedule. I’d rather go to yoga.

Honestly, I’d rather do nothing, but that’s not an option.

I’m currently finishing up a holiday novella (don’t have a title yet) it’s a stand-alone that I may turn into a series if there is a good response. It will be published as part of an anthology with 15 other authors who are all part of Sleuthing Women…read, sleuth, solve, repeat (click the link if you want to join us).

I also have a Presley Thurman holiday novella coming out in December called Icicles & Icepicks. Liars & Lawyers, the follow-up to Diamonds & Disguises will be out in January 2019, so I thought a fun Christmas themed book while you’re waiting would be fun.

This month Bats & Blings is on sale for .99 cents so if you haven’t already read it; it’s time to grab yourself a copy!

The question of the week.

Why do you think so many books that have a romantic element also have a double standard. For example, the guy does something wrong, and he’s a jerk but the girl can do something bad, and it’s not as big of a deal?

Thanks to the wonderful reader who brought this up to me. It’s a GREAT question!

Happy reading,

Laina
