FINALLY FRIDAY: the mountains are calling and I must go…

by

I believe that quote is from John Muir. Below is one of my other favorites.

I mention this because I will be at 8,000′ this weekend, escaping the heat of the Central Valley (102-3 degrees, predicted). I blew the dust off my hiking boots and truly can’t wait to hit the trails.

Does it sound like all I do is travel?

Certainly feels like it at times, but I promise, I work hard in between trips. 😉

 

This week I made the final edits (suggested by a member of my amazing Review Team) to PRINCE CHARMING UNDERCOVER, and uploaded to all vendors for release on Sunday! If you preorder it, the book is delivered straight to your e-reader the moment it goes live. No fuss. (I love when that happens.) Pre-order HERE.

 

I also finalized my new cover for THE DADDY GAMBLE, Book II in the Betting On Love series. Will share that soon. When I showed the preliminary version to my hubby, he said, “That looks like a happy book.” It is! It releases August 1.

Now, I believe I promised to share a bit about my trip to Oregon to see my sister and Andrea Bocelli. It was fabulous. The weather was gorgeous. My sister was so happy for the company. And Andrea Bocelli truly has a voice like none other. His performance was very moving, and I consider this a once in a lifetime opportunity since none of us are getting any younger.

Happy reading, my friends. Stay cool and hydrated. That’s my plan. 😉

Travelogue Tuesday: Sail away with me…

by

I’m baaack from my travels! Had fun, but brrrr….I only wore shorts once…for two hours…on the last day. Seriously. The weather was not our friend, but thankfully we had blue skies most of the time.

Here are a few pics. (Thanks to my new web guru for fixing the problem so these images finally showed up!)

When I wasn’t hanging out with the guys, I was perched in a sunny spot reading my final three RITA books. That is MY kind of working vacation!!!

The paparazzi was constantly hounding me. Here I am eating ice cream, proving it was almost warm once.

Next blog will be an update on my current website remodeling…and maybe a word or two about my next book. 😉

Read on…

Really? Monday? I’m so outta here!

It’s Bon Voyage time!

Hubby and I are joining two of his brothers for a four-day cruise to Baja and Catalina Island. I’m so excited.

I’m hoping I can share photos on Instagram and Facebook, and I’ll tell you all about it when I return on Friday (probably not early enough to blog, but there’s always Saturday.) 😉

Thanks to everyone who commented (on this blog and on FB) with cruising travel tips. I think I’m ready (at least, I’m as ready as a cruise virgin can be.)

Have a great week!
