Valentine's Day, Book Recommendation & Update

Image
By
Happy Tuesday All,

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I was a busy little bee this weekend. Offspring had a game, then I had to do some spring/summer wardrobe shopping, and Sunday was Church and relaxation.

The answer to the question about if there is any news on the contracted novel is that when there is something I can share I will post it here.

If you've been watching my Twitter Feed (whether following me on Twitter or checking the margin of this blog) you might have seen some posts where I recommended books. For all of you who missed them, here's the recommendations I made for Valentine's Day:

I started out with Historical Romance...

Friday's Child by Georgette Heyer (probably my number 2 favorite Heyer novel)

If you're into Fairy Tales, I mentioned this YA:

Beastly by Alex Flinn

Sassy Fiction...

The Secret Ingredient by Jane Heller

I even touched on Mid-grade...

Betsy's Wedding by Maud Hart Lovelace (but I recommend reading the others in that series, first).

For all you YA Fans looking for a tissue-box book...

Until Death Do Us Part by Lurlene MacDaniel

I did not forget the Vampire fans...

Love At Stake Series by Kerrelyn Sparks

Elemental Mysteries by Elizabeth Hunter

Nocturne by Syrie James

I also put in this Greek Mythology inspired novel (which I love, by the way)...

Cupid by Julius Lester

I also made some movie recommendations:

I Hate Valentine's Day (funny movie)

I also recommend You've Got Mail, but only because that was the movie real life hero (husband) and I were watching when he proposed to me.

The good thing about these books and movies...it doesn't have to be February 14th for you to enjoy them...they're fun anytime of the year.

What would you recommend for a Valentine's Day read and/or movie?

Have A Terrific Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

By
Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

It's Worth A Fortune

By
Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Christie Craig

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Sorry about the delay in getting Christie Craig's email interview up. Normally I can just copy and paste interviews from my email into my blog, but this time my blog would NOT let me paste the interview! So everything has to be done manually, which takes longer. Anyway, let me introduce you to Christie Craig: I met her through the NWHRWA , which we're both members of. She's a real sweetheart. Funny, fun, and makes you feel comfortable (you don't feel shy or uncomfortable because she has a very hospitable presence about her). She's also very helpful, offers great advice and encouragement (I know this from experience, she's been very encouraging to me). Christie is a multi-published author of both fiction and nonfiction. Her works include things like Divorced, Desperate & Delicious and her up-coming non-fiction (with elements of fiction) work, Wild, Wicked And Wanton: 101 Ways To Love Like You're In A Romance Novel ...due out this ...
