It’s only two days until my book release day and I’m nervous about how it will be received. It’s deeper and more emotional than anything I’ve previously written. While there is a romantic storyline the main focus is between two sisters who have gone through a traumatic event, damaging their relationship. Whether it’s because of…

Catching up on my #NetGalley #BookReviews @Darynda @RKapelkeDale, Betty Webb
The fun of growing all of your plants in containers is the ability to move them whenever you want to refresh the garden. Some need either more or less lighting, others become too large for their environment, and then some show off their best colors in the fall and deserve a key location. This all…
Time Travel #Mystery and Suspense #BookReviews @Sandra_Cox @Becca_Zanetti @CarlaNeggers
This week got off to a rough start; I took a header in the garden and smashed into a decorative rock. Yes, it hurt right away 🙂 My daughter and grandson left for New Zealand Monday. As many of you know, she’s moving toward her doctorate in biology and was accepted to a university in…
Mid-Summer #BookReviews and #Writing Progress @MelindaLeigh1 @DWallacePeach
Woohoo, I’ve had a breakthrough on my WIP and FINALLY know where the story is going. For a pantser this is equivalent to finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 🙂 I’ll share another teaser with you soon, but for now let’s delve into some of the fantastic summer reads I’ve…
End of July #BookReviews Part 1- #Reading @danniowenjones @jaxandwillsmum @supermegawoman @JanSikes3
This week it’s my daughter’s *** birthday! It seems like yesterday that I was teaching her to walk and now she’s a mother with an almost-grown son of her own. Where does the time go? This is one of my favorite pictures of her as a baby- isn’t she cute? 🙂 I’ve read a couple…
#TuesdayBookReviews- Catling’s Bane @DWallacePeach, Between Hello & Goodbye @EmmaS_Writes, The Make-Up Test @jennylhowe
It’s been so nice outside that I haven’t had much time to visit the blogs, much less come up with a brilliant post {difficult at any time!}, but hope to comment here and there throughout the summer- my apologies. It was hubby’s birthday on the weekend. We spent the day eating fresh berries and talking…
#BookReview- Treachery in Death by J.D. Robb, Wherever the Wind Takes Us by Kelly Harms, and Means to Deceive by Alex Craigie #amreading
This week I have a murder mystery from the great Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb, a Netgalley women’s fiction pick, and a contemporary blogging recommendation. When I first learned of the In Death series, I wasn’t sure it would appeal to me. Set in the future, there are flying cars, ray guns, and many…
End of May #BookReviews #Amreading @teagangeneviene @belovung_birds @JRWard1 and Jamie Beck
One of my favorite places to go when I’m seeking inspiration is Esquimalt Lagoon. On one side, you have the Pacific Ocean with a view of Victoria harbor… and on the other side, Royal Roads University with Hatley Castle seen in many featured films such as Deadpool, X-Men, Smallville, and many more. Is it any…
#BookReviews- #Poetry from @BalroopShado, #Romance by @megancrane and @kisscrafter
Spring is in full swing, and we’ve been busy in the garden planting bulbs, vegetable seeds, weeding, soaking in the sun’s rays, watching my cat watch the birds 🙂 and reading! Balroop Singh opened my eyes to the beauty and grace of poetry. Her latest collection is filled with the magic of her words and…

#BookReview- Page-turning #Suspense and a Bermuda Triangle #Mystery by Rebecca Zanetti and Julianne MacLean
From a high-heel alcoholic retired service dog to a missing plane in the Bermuda Triangle, this week’s reading has been interesting, to say the least! I was gifted a copy of Rebecca Zanetti’s latest in her Deep Ops series, Unforgiven, and couldn’t put it down! The book is a thrill-ride from start to finish. Gemma…
#BookReview- Two #Westerns to #Read Calder Grit by Janet Dailey and Deputy Cooper by Frank Wheeler
There’s just something about a cowboy that makes us swoon. They’re throwbacks to another era. A time when horses roamed the prairies and men worked long hours in the saddle to tame the land. Thanks to Sandra Cox and her engrossing stories, I’ve rediscovered my love of the wild frontier! This week’s book reviews are…
#BookReview- Heartwarming #Reads from @JillWeatherHolt @KristinHannah, and Heather Marshall
Three heartwarming reads to start out the New Year! There’s nothing like a good book and a hot cup of tea on a chilly winter’s evening. We’ve had a bit of a cold snap (for us) here on the west coast and I’ve been holed up inside with hubby and our restless teenage grandson. They’ve…
#BookReviews- December’s #Reading List @katherinecenter @BeemWeeks @tracihallauthor @PatriceWilton
December is here and all the excitement of the holidays is upon us! We took Mom and our grandson to the 23rd Annual IEOA Truck Light Convoy with 80 trucks! It was the perfect evening. We had the Pacific Ocean at our backs and hundreds of happy viewers along the lane (some with campfires and…
#BookReview- Mountain Laurel Christmas @JanSikes3, To Love and Be Loved @MrsAmandaProwse, The Bodyguard @katherinecenter
Winter is here (Though thankfully, no snow for us!) and with it the promise of long, cozy nights, fires to warm the toes, and BOOKS to read! I wasn’t feeling too hale and hearty this week, but I did manage to get in three enjoyable stories from talented authors. The first is the tale of…

#BookReview- Two Memorable #Reads From @AHarmon_Author and @NinadeGramont #WomensFic
I’ve had a productive week writing and reading. That’s right, I said WRITING, lol. After what feels like forever, I finally warmed up my middle finger (not for that!) and started pecking away at my keyboard. If you look up procrastination in the dictionary, I’m pretty sure you’ll find my picture 🙂 I’ve also read…
#BookReview- The Good and the Not So Good #Romance #Reading
This week I read a book I had a hard time setting aside, and one I had a hard time picking up. There’s nothing better than a book that can make you forget where you are. Karen Robards has that talent. Her stories are fast-paced, action-adventure over-the-top suspense with a good dash of romance. The…
