snakes – Romance Matters Blog

What a weekend!

First mow of the season revealed this handsome fellow.

He’s a very angry racer snake. Not poisonous. Definitely not as happy to meet us and we were to meet him. I shared the teaching moment then let him return to his business.

Same day, my daughter fell and broke her right wrist in two places and sprained her left wrist while carrying the baby’s highchair back into the house.

My poor baby is the mother of three, including my youngest granddaughter who is only 1-year old. Try explaining to a one-year-old that Mommy can’t pick her up because her arm hurts. 🙁

But on the UP side, my friend Teresa Hill has put together this fun collection of heroes from books that currently are FREE or 99¢. Take your pick from Donna, Fasano, Lisa Mondello, Patricia Keelyn, Kathryn Shay, Judith Arnold, Patricia McLinn, Teresa Hill and me. You can’t go wrong–on the hero or the books. Here’s the link: ValentinesHeroes.

In LOVE, AFTER ALL – West Coast Happily-Ever-After #5, Arley, the hero in the meme above, is a great guy with a big heart. (He’s also a trust fund baby who is a bit bored and a little lost.) His current windmill-worthy mission is helping a sweet old woman fight the Powers That Be to keep her pet pig, Cuddles. Arley’s “1%er” parents aren’t amused. And they’re even less pleased when Arley is photographed kissing his attorney, Gwyneth–the woman Arley knows is his one and only true love. But convincing Gwyneth they’re destined to be together might be the biggest challenge of his life.

I hope your VALENTINE’S DAY is delightful–or, in my case, less eventful!

Well, check out what my Thesaurus says about the word:

amazing, astonishing, eye-opening, fortuitous, from left field, impetuous, prodigious, unpredictable, wonderful.

I get a little giddy thinking about all the possibilities: guest bloggers, Q&As with characters, super sexy, provocative photos OR pics of my dog, the rattlesnake we just killed, or anything else that might stumble into my corner of the world.

Snake, you say? 45″, 7 buttons. This big boy (or girl, I can’t tell the difference) scared the heck out of me while I was writing this blog. (It’s a beautiful spring day in Debland and my poor old deaf dog nearly got struck not ten feet from where I was sitting (on my deck).

What other types of unexpected goodies can you expect?

Happy Monday! What do snakes, broken bones, heroes, and Valentines have in common?

My Unexpected Blog

Why “Unexpected”?

What other types of unexpected goodies can you expect?

Well, for starters: How ’bout a Blow-out Sale?!

I reduced the price on ALL of my short fiction titles to: $1.99.

(Price changed at Amazon and Smashwords; other venues should be up soon.)

Bang! You’re Dead! * In With a Bang! * Gator * A Hundred Years or More

And here’s another deal: Unsuitably Perfect by Lisa Mondello, Barbara McMahon and Karen Sandler. Three complete, full-length romance novels from three bestselling authors for $4.99. You’ll have to do the math, but it sounds like a good deal to me. (I do words, I don’t do numbers.)

Read. Laugh. And if you’re eligible…Screw Senility. (I’m off to work on book III – More Bang! For Your Buck).
