Welcome to my daily blog. If this is your first time, I'm a romance writer and a misplaced city girl currently living in the wild Sierras. I tend to have a lot of I-Love-Lucy moments that I share here but sometimes we talk about books, TV, and our favorite cookies. Okay, my favorite cookies. In any case, please feel free to comment by clicking on the Comments at the bottom of any entry. If you're too shy, that's okay, just know I love having you.

She heard someone coming and her heart kicked hard. A man, one who was light on his feet and not attempting to hide his approach.

He appeared from around the corner; tall, built, armed, and dangerous, though not to her physical well being. Nope, nothing about the rangy, sinewy, gorgeous Matt Bowers was a threat to her body.

But he was lethal to her peace of mind.

Fun with photo booth

Walk away from your computer for even a minute in this house and the oddest creatures come out of the woodwork.

Middle, Youngest, and Oldest, together again after a long separation. Oldest, it was so good to have you home this weekend. I might have had something in my eye all the way home from the airport…

A typical conversation

Me: Hi, you’ve got to come home NOW.

Him: I can’t bring you cookies, I’m in the middle of a concrete pour.

Me: There’s a squirrel.

Him: Still not bringing you cookies.

Me: Okay, let’s play a game where you LISTEN TO ME. There’s a squirrel in the house. INSIDE the house.

Him: Is this because I fell asleep with the TV on?

Me: No, it’s because THERE’S A SQUIRREL IN THE HOUSE.

Him: Get Ashes.

Me: Ashes doesn’t care. It yelled at her and she’s cowering in the bathroom. We need you. Come home.

Him: (big sigh) Fine.

Me: Thank you. Oh, and can you bring cookies?

A very important question!

I asked this on Facebook but I wanted to ask here as well. The other day, I overheard two women in a store arguing about their fave man part. One kept saying “the smile, it’s all about the smile”. The other was insistent it was the eyes.

I know I should be ashamed of myself, but I’m an abs ‘ho.

You?

Honey I shrunk the clothes

Okay, I had to concede. Summer is finally really here. I pulled out the shorts and tanks. Only there’s a big problem. Things aren’t fitting. I’m too. fat. for. my. cute shorts.

You know what this means, don’t you? I have to actually . . . I can hardly even type this . . . give up cookies. There. I put it out there for the universe to see. I have to give up cookies.

Give.

Up.

Cookies.

SOB! I can’t even blog today, I’m in mourning for the loss already . . . But you don’t have to mourn with me. Go ahead and eat cookies, just don’t tell me.

Deadline stress, I has it

And because I has it … people are tip-toeing around me. Alpha Man tried to drag me away from the computer for dinner and I nearly bit his head off. Luckily he ignored my bitching and dragged me out anyway.

The man gives good dinner.
