I am so thrilled that it’s the release day of Book 1 of my new trilogy. Beach House No. 9 comes out today, followed by Bungalow Nights on February 26 and The Love Shack on March 26. All three books take place during a “Summer of Love” in Southern California’s Crescent Cove. Wary hearts encounter [...]
I have been sitting here in front of this keyboard for way longer than I care to admit this evening trying to focus on a topic to write about. I have started five different posts as of this moment: a Christmas gift that arrived late why it seems to be so difficult to ever re-buy [...]
There are days when all you want to do is put up your feet, relax, and get a little Gandy. Like this: That was refreshing, wasn’t it? Let’s take another sip, shall we? Check out his crooked smile – Oh. My. Gosh. Ah, a little better now? The cares of last week fading away yet? [...]
It’s time for title mash-up again here on Mt Oly. Word on the street has it that your combinations are so awesome that publishers troll these threads for future title ideas. True story. Okay, maybe not, but we can dream, right? This week, we have four books in the mix and four randomly chosen winners [...]
Only Girl is getting married! You know what that means. Wedding stuff galore. Drowning in wedding stuff, wedding decisions, wedding details. Only Girl (marrying who shall hence be known as Number Three Son, because he’s just that awesome) is having a simple wedding. Stop laughing. I mean it! Really, it’s a very simple home wedding. [...]
I am in deep, DEEP deadline mode right now, which means I’m having to wrestle the Procrastination Monster with both hands. Sadly, the closer I am to deadline, the stronger the monster becomes. My favorite procrastination is called ‘Research,’ but is also known as ‘Reading.’ Suddenly, each and every book in my house NEEDS, MUST, [...]
Have you ever felt like a hamster on a wheel? Everyday you get on the wheel and run. You like it. You know what to expect. You know what you’re doing. You’re just running on your wheel like always. Maybe you pause for a sandwich and some Judge Judy (I know hamsters don’t eat sandwiches [...]
What you do you think? Formal Wear? Business Attire? Business Casual? Tweed? Uniform? Jeans? Kilt? Superhero Costume? Cowboy? Beachwear? Or Shirtless? [/caption] If you had three FROS in your house right now, how would you want them dressed? Happy FROS, m’dears! May your week be filled with smiles, hot men, good friends, and amazing variety!
There are some incredible words out there, some of which are not used often but definitely should be. Serendipity is one. Making fortunate discoveries by accident. Who wouldn’t love a word like that? How about yesternight as a way of saying “last night”? Another beauty is susurrus which is a beautiful word that lyrically [...]
Here at The Goddess Blogs, I love that while we’re all from different places, work at different professions, have different types of families, and hold different values, we’re still closely united by one thing – we love books. In honor of that, I thought we’d do a READER POLL and share our reading habits and [...]
I have just finished a delightful little book, Mrs. Queen Takes the Train. It’s about Queen Elizabeth, as we know her now. She is depressed. She’s spent her life in service to her country and she yearns for something a little different. She’s into yoga and the internet, but she would like to walk beyond [...]
As with all things, the stars had to align perfectly for it to happen. First, I had spent the day before watching a marathon of Hoarders: Buried Alive. That really gets me in the mood to purge. Next, I had to find a good eraser, one that hadn’t gone hard and useless. You wouldn’t believe [...]
