Love in February!

February is cold and currently damp (in Wisconsin). I often wonder why St Valentine couldn't pick a better season for his holiday. I joke. Sort of. But then I remember this is the weather to stay in and snuggle. It's for dinner and wine by the fire. Or, if you're like me, dinner and Mike's Hard Lemonade by the Netflix fire.

For me, Valentine's Day creeps up way too fast. First it's Christmas, then New Year's. I finally get back into a routine and wham! It's February. My poor husband and son get stuck with store leftovers. Not that they mind too much when we always plan a last-minute outing for the weekend after. And isn't that what it's all about? Spending time with the ones you love?

What are your plans for Valentine's Day? I'm looking for inspiration.

So, until the world and beer turns green for St Patrick's day, I wish you love and happiness.

And if you're looking for some extra love, here's a 100% off coupon for Melting Point. Yes, that's free! Use it before it expires.

January's Hodgepodge

The first failure of the year:

I had good intentions. Really, I did. I downloaded The Miracle Morning and gave it my best shot. Maybe just a half shot. The title should have clued me in as to why I would fail. Mornings. I don't do mornings. I set the alarm clock to have enough time to feed and clothe my kid before the bus comes. Sometimes I greet the bus fully dressed for the day, other times I might be in pajamas.

When it came time to setting the alarm a little earlier, I was either swatting at the snooze, or actually waking up. It was the latter that had me yawning for the rest of the day. My confused internal clock protested. So, after two weeks of fighting with myself, I tossed in the morning towel. Instead of performing miracles at the crack of dawn, I've set out to do them at night when my son is asleep and I'm on my second wind.

We'll see how it goes. I'm not asking for many miracles. Just to keep writing, plotting, and publishing. Everything else is just a bonus.

What I'm reading:

I'm half way through Dawn Kunda's Presidential Purchase: A President's Confession. It's an intense fictional look behind the political curtain. Shifting from past to present, it takes the reader on a journey of how's, why's and oh-my-gosh's. I'm thoroughly enjoying it and can't wait until I can sit down and read the rest. Interested? Here's the link:

What I'm working on:

I'm in the home stretch of Critical Point. It's the second book of the Metal Girls Trilogy. Following in her sister Morgan's footsteps, it's now Piper Brennan's turn. Have you ever had a crush that you couldn't shake from your heart? Meet Van, Piper's first love and the man she can't have. Since he is a long-time employee of Brennan Metal Works, her family business, she can't avoid him either.

Coming in March: Critical Point

Want to start at the beginning? Melting Point

Melting Point

I just wanted to sneak in to let you all know that the award-winning novel Melting Point is now available! It's the first book in the Metal Girls trilogy. Welding has never been this cool . . . or sizzling hot :) Meet the Brennan girls as they weld their way into mysteries and, of course, love. There's a dose of suspense, a heap of steamy encounters, and a dash of humor. The perfect blend to keep the winter blues away.

The Brennan family business had a secret. A secret that only Morgan Brennan knew. She was diligent to make sure it remained that way. She alone had followed in her father’s footsteps, knowing that if she was ever found out the repercussion would be terrible. But if she didn’t continue, the outcome would be deadly. To protect her grandfather, her sisters, and the family business, she continued, knowing that every day she stepped closer to ruin.

Liam Hayes had one mission: Infiltrate Brennan Metal Works and search for incriminating evidence. Because of his background in metal, he was the perfect choice. He thought it would be easy. Getting the grandfather to hire him was a snap. Then he met Morgan Brennan. She blocked him at every corner, making it clear he was not welcome. Quickly pegging her as the prime suspect, he made it his mission to discover her secrets.

Liam is determined to find out why Morgan is frequently called to Las Vegas and follows her, putting them both at risk. As events quickly unravel, Morgan finds her only chance of survival is to allow Liam in. But can she trust him? The only way to free themselves from the danger they face is by working together, something neither of them ever wanted.

 

I'll be back in a couple of weeks with a review on another book.

See you later,
