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.
In case you’re not signed up, my READ4LESS newsletter went out this week. If you’re a fan of western historicals and contemporary bride stories, you should check it out. Here’s the link: NEWSLETTER.
Happy reading, my friends. Stay cool and hydrated. That’s my plan. 😉
I’m picking her up early for our traditional celebration: lunch, movie and shopping. Today, we’re seeing A WRINKLE IN TIME. I’ve been hesitant to see it for fear it will not live up to my memory of the book, but Rya hasn’t read the book and we’ve heard good things about the movie so that’s her pick.
Have you seen it? What’s your favorite book-to-movie pairing? I’m curious. None come to mind at the moment.
#2 – Happy Mother’s Day
And by “Mother” I mean every person with a loving heart who cares for the “littles”–be they babies, toddlers, teens, puppies, kittens or other critters. We Mothers mother even when our babies are older than we were when we had them. We nurture, nurse, hug and hold them from first breath to, hopefully, our last breath. Give yourself a moment to appreciate what an important role you have played in your loved ones’ lives. That, to me, is what Mother’s Day is all about.
# 3 – treat yourself–and MOM–to a free book!

I am so blessed to be part of a great publishing team: Tule Publishing. Although it came right down to the wire, my editor, staff and Tule Reader’s Group came through to get the price changed on Amazon from $3.99 to FREE on my book, HER REBEL TO KISS, in time to make our BookBub deadline. #nailbiter #thankyouAmazonforthenewgrayinmyhair
If you’ve already downloaded REBEL, you know you can gift it to your MOM, right? Or splurge and buy her the complete series–3 books for the price of 2!
Life is interesting, isn’t it? I hope you have a great weekend and don’t forget to Hug A Mother.
