Happy Sunday! Our American friends will be busy this week preparing for their Thanksgiving celebrations. American (and Canadian) Thanksgiving are one holiday that I’ve always wished we imported and celebrated in Australia. Instead, we have adopted Black Friday sales. Australian retailers now focus their pre-Christmas sales around Black Friday deals. Do you do anything special […]

Happy Sunday! I’ve spent part of today doing one of my favorite things (reading, of course!), and I was disappointed to be stuck indoors this afternoon. We have headache-inducing spring storms hanging around with a lot of rain falling, and I had hoped to sit outdoors in the shade and finish my reading. The photo […]

Welcome to November! It doesn’t feel like November where I live in Australia because winter weather has returned. There was even snow visible on the Brindabella Mountain Ranges near Canberra a few days ago. We have a joke in Canberra that winter starts on ANZAC Day (April 25) and ends on Remembrance Day (November 11). […]
Book Recommendation – Look for Me by Jan Thompson
Today I’m sharing my book recommendation for Look for Me by Inspy Romance author Jan Thompson, Book 4 in her Vacation Sweethearts series set in Key Largo, Florida. I jumped into the series at Book 4 and read the book as a standalone. But, as I was reading, some of the series story details seemed familiar. […]
Royalty Romance Book Recommendation – To Win a Prince by Toni Shiloh
Today I’m sharing my book recommendation for To Win a Prince by Toni Shiloh. I loved In Search of a Prince, the first book in the series, and absolutely adored To Win a Prince. I don’t often talk about favorite books because it can be so hard to choose favorite reads from among the great […]
The Completion of a Series + #Giveaway
Sometimes I feel like ‘the end’ are two of the most satisfying words in the English language. I realize ‘the end’ can have vastly different meanings, depending on the context. For writers, the moment of completion of a book project can bring forth a range of emotions. Joy, relief, happiness, sorrow, thankfulness, and pure exhaustion […]

Spring is around the corner in Australia, and the streets in my neighborhood are a sea of yellow. The native Australian wattle is a hardy plant with many varieties that never fails to bloom in August, and again in late summer. Those of us who suffer from hay fever don’t need to look outside to […]

It’s winter in Australia, and I’ve been dreaming about walking on a warm, sandy beach somewhere. My long ebook TBR list includes many beach reads with coastal and lake settings from around the world. The advantages of arm chair traveling via a book include no messy sand to clean up, no sunburn to worry […]

Happy Sunday! A highlight of the last few weeks, for those of us who are into sports and live in Commonwealth countries (like Australia), has been the Commonwealth Games held in Birmingham, UK. The time differences between Australia and UK resulted in most of the live action taking place overnight and in the early hours […]

Welcome to August! I will confess I’m happy to put July in the rearview mirror. I hope those of you in the Northern Hemisphere are enjoying your summer, and staying cool if you’re dealing with extreme heat. My family spent July tag-teaming the catching of winter illnesses, including the one with cold symptoms that we […]
