Valentine's Day Deal

Looking for a deal on a Valentine's Day read? Be sure to check out The Values from The Vault at Ellora's Cave, including my Valentine's Day Quickie, Anastasia's Style, available now for only $1.99.




BLURB:

Anastasia Style, owner of Hassle-free Holidays, is having anything but a hassle-free Valentine's Day. Her normally reliable car has a flat and she has a delivery to make for a last minute, lucrative client. And if that wasn't enough to make a woman crazy, she still has to make it to her lawyer's office in time to sign her divorce papers.


She just has to set the stage for her client's romantic evening and then she's off to her lawyer's office to officially end her marriage to Mason Style. Except her client has other ideas about how Anastasia will be spending her evening, and he has no intention of ever letting her go.

Happy Birthday Charles Dickens

Today is the 200th anniversary of the birth of English writer Charles Dickens. He was born on February 7, 1812 and wrote many novels that focused on the living and working conditions of the poor in England. He was extremely popular in his time and continues to be a favorite today, creating many iconic characters, including Scrooge.

I really enjoyed A Tale of Two Cities, but my favorite Dicken's book is A Christmas Carol. Do you have a favorite?

New Cover!

Check out the sexy new cover for Finding Chrissten, an upcoming Legacy book. Don't have a release date yet, but hopefully soon!

Snowy Saturday

Yet another snowstorm. This is the fourth one in about eight or nine days. Last Saturday was a stay-at-home day and looks like this one will be too. Hope all of you are having a great Saturday. I plan on doing some work this morning and curling up with a book or a movie this afternoon.
