Way back in September 2000, I turned forty with a bash! Surrounded by family and close friends, I hosted a fun “Color Me Forty” party. I donned my brightest, most colorful blouse, and we had a lamb roasting on the spit while we sat outside under our large willow tree drinking brightly colored sodas, playing […]
Pheromones — Good or Bad? #giveaway
We’ve all heard about the fascinating chemical secreted by animals (and humans too). Pheromones act as a signal to attract males and females to each other, and as romance readers, we’ve seen them at work between the pages of the love stories we so enjoy. But pheromones don’t only induce feelings of love and flitting […]
SETTING SAIL #giveaway
I love boxed sets and have been a part of a dozen sets, excluding my own two, during the past 3½ years. But over the past 12 months or so, I’ve been somewhat relieved when the sets have come to an end. You’re probably wondering why, so I’ll fill you in. About a year ago, Amazon […]
Recovering Hope (and pass the tissues) ~ #3xgiveaway
Six months ago I blogged on Hope, Redemption, and Second Chances. I wrote about the new Potter’s House multi-author series I was part of and my first book in the series, Restoring Faith. Two weeks ago I released my second book in this series (which is book 14 in The Potter’s House Books as there […]
To hear, or not to hear (that is the question)
About this time last year, I ventured out to produce my first audiobook. A Match for Magnolia, Book 1 of my Seven Suitors for Seven Sisters, was the story I chose for this endeavor. I first looked into the options of producing myself, then having the book produced, then using ACX.com to produce. Weighing up […]
A Sticky Mess
Last month, when hubby and I visited my son in Cape Town, we wanted to bring a little something back for our grandsons. As we strolled through the flea market on the Saturday morning, we spotted a stall that caught our attention. Gloop! The boys would love that sticky, gooey mess. We added our choices […]
A Time to Push Daisies #giveaway
Do you ever want to make time fly? Become a blogger…for Inspy Romance. It feels like yesterday I last blogged, and here I am again, scratching my head over what to write about. Goodness, a month flies between blogs! Anyway, I’m writing this post almost a week before my blog is due because tomorrow morning […]
Black Blog and #giveaway
I have a confession to make. I’ve been totally stumped on what to blog about this week. Zilch. Zip. Nada. A big, fat, black hole of nothingness. Totally in the dark…something akin to my world a week ago when we had seven days of no power after our local substation had literally gone up in […]
Submerged
Yesterday heralded the start of the winter school holidays in South Africa, and along with that, Holiday Club or Vacation Bible School or VBS—dependent on what your preference is—at churches across our nation. This past Sunday, we walked into our church…a church that had cellophane jelly fish and octopuses hanging from the roof. The windows […]
Hope, Redemption, and Second Chances
I love multi-author series…love the planning, the interaction, the camaraderie that happens when a group of authors get together to bring readers hours upon hours of reading pleasure. A Tuscan Legacy was the first of such series I’ve taken part in. The Potter’s House the second. And there are more planned for next year and […]
