Memories, Eclipses, MEA Blog, and Question of the Day!

I'm happy to report that I did get to relax a little this weekend. I could use more of that, but the next few weekends are packed with things to do, so we're looking at maybe October. The beach was lovely, as always.




We also picked up my mother's hutch. It looks very beautiful in our dining room - it was something she wanted me to have. I'm between emotions on it. I cry, I smile, and I remember special times when I look at it. I miss her very much.

I'm cranking up a little Bonnie Tyler right now. Holding Out for a Hero and Total Eclipse of the Heart were HOT songs while I was growing up, and I LOVED them!



I totally rocked out to those songs and sang them with my friends in the car at the top of my lungs. They often fit my mood when I broke up with or got hooked up with a guy. Yeah, I still love those old songs and get fired up when I hear them.

It's Monday and you know what that means - BLOGGING WITH ME at Moonglade Elite Authors Blog




Yep, that's right. Pic of a hottie - or two, excerpts, reviews, jokes, a giveaway of Under a Warlock's Spell coming August 29th from Samhain Publishing, and more!

I will also be giving away a copy of Butterfly Kisses on Wednesday - the final day of our book giveaway.

For those who asked, yes my son DID get his guitar class - so both he and I are very excited. I'm happy he'll be adding some music to his day, and he's happy to look forward to at least one class at school, lol. This is his last full week to be lazy and sleep in, so he's not exactly a happy camper.

I'm tossing confetti everywhere over my very first review of Melting Iron. Euro Reviews gave it 4.5 Flags

Ann Cory gives us an astonishingly heartwarming story of love found in the face of a terrifying historical event. Daniel and Evelynn, as well as her maid Bess, are appealing characters, and Brandt, although abusive and mean, is also written as a three-dimensional character, not just a stereotype. I recommend this one.

Under a Warlock's Spell comes out Tuesday, August 29th and I'm super psyched. I will also be posting excerpts at Novelspotters for Samhain Author's Day. I'll be there around 5pm EST if you'd like to join me



Other new reviews include:

Egyptian Cotton - 4 Angels from FAR

Egyptian Cotton is a fabulous story that will have most readers asking where they can get a set of those sheets. Amber and Seth have some heated scenes that could light a fire without any matches. Ms. Cory pens such a fascinating blend of wonderful characters that it is worth reading more than once, with imagery that makes the reader get a feel of all the visualizations of Egypt. The steam practically rises from the pages as Seth sets out to show Amber what a lifetime with him could mean for her always in his bed and his arms.

Vampire Hunter: Book 1 - Vintages - 4 Angels from FAR

Regan and Garret are as different as two people can be yet that does not stop either of them trying to save the other, or giving their hearts. Miss Cory has a bright future ahead of her with this series, for which I am sure will be as satisfyingly suspenseful and erotic as Vintages is. I definitely will be eagerly awaiting the second installment in this awesome series.
