Some chit chat.

Hello everyone and happy Sunday!

I’m officially a great auntie as of March 9th. The sweet baby girl has arrived. I’ve seen pictures and she has the cutest little nose.

I just love babies. My son came as quite a surprise. My husband had been married before and his first wife already had a child from a previous marriage. When they had trouble conceiving, he’d discovered he probably couldn’t have children. Imagine our surprise when I got sick at the smell of hamburger cooking and took a test. Yep, I was pregnant.

With my rare blood type and RH Negative factor, I had to have ultrasounds twice a month. When my son came into the world, I recognized his sweet face from the pictures. My sweet boy with the Gerber baby face!

I remember crying when he got his first tooth. I loved his gummy smile. LOL

What a joy and a blessing are our children. No matter how old they are, they’ll always be our precious babies.

Got lots of books to share, so let’s get to it!

Some chit chat.

Hello everyone and happy Sunday!

The other morning I was sitting in front of my computer working on a post when a noise from outside finally got my attention. I went outside to see what it was, and the Robins are here!

robins photo: robins pulling worms robinspullingonworms.gif

That’s one of the signs that spring has arrived on the Gulf Coast! There were a bunch in the trees and they were shaking loose old pecans and leaves from the branches. The noise of it all hitting the back porch was what I was hearing.

I just cleaned all of the outdoor furniture last week. Looks like I should have waited as I’m sure the lovely robins will leave plenty of presents splattered  all over of it. LOL

I was hoping to say I am now officially a great auntie but the little one is taking it’s sweet time entering the world. I’m sure I’ll be able to announce the new member of the family next week.

Got lots of books to share, so let’s get to it!

Hello everyone and happy Sunday!

I have some exciting news. My niece is due to have her baby on March 1st. I wanted to wait until close to her due date to shout it out. I’m going to be a Great Auntie! Holy smokes!

On other news, I did get more work done in my flower beds and the pool is clean and waiting for me to be brave enough to get in. Still pretty dang cold right now. LOL

Some chit chat.

Do you feel what I feel? Do you smell it? Spring is in the air! And it seems like all I can think about is digging my fingers into the soil and making pretty in my gardens.

I’ve been busy cleaning out flower beds and trimming all the dead stuff. Now I have these huge piles of branches to haul off. Good thing I have a strong son to do that. LOL He’ll come in handy helping me spread all the mulch I carted home too.

I’ve also been scrubbing down the outdoor furniture and the patio and thinking about what to add this year. I’m thinking maybe a new grill and new umbrella with table for my outdoor office. Maybe some more potted flowers.

And the pool is in need of a good cleaning. I’m sure I’ll grab some more noodles and floats. I’ve also ordered new stairs with handrails. My mother spends the summer down here and I want her to be safe entering and leaving the pool. Probably good for me too. I’ve slipped on the ladder several times.

Hang in there folks. Spring is almost here. Soon, we’ll be reading books in the sun, getting nice tans, and enjoying the song birds and fresh air!

This is also when things really start hopping on the Gulf Coast. I still pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming that I really live here. LOL Lots of outdoor concerts and fairs. Jimmy Buffet is coming for another big concert. This is for all you parrotheads!

Got lots of books to share, so let’s get to it!

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!

Ah, Valentines Day. I remember when it was a big deal to me. What would I get him? What would he get me? And what should we do to celebrate?

Those days are long gone. I’m now single and don’t have to stress over it. My plans are to curl up on the couch and watch some scary movies. What? Strange, you say? That’s me. I celebrate the holidays with some horror movies. Now to find some that center around Valentine’s Day! I’m sure there are plenty. LOL

Last Spring, Claire was framed for the murder of Junior, the Devil’s oldest hellspawn.

Now, Claire’s been locked out of her realm, given an assistant that doesn’t actually assist, and told to handle a small problem in Underworld that might just get her killed.

And to top it all off, Mab’s made one of the contenders her untouchable. So, yeah, you could say Claire’s having one of those days.

Follow more of Claire’s adventures in Dark Forsaken, book 3 of the Devil’s Assistant Series, to find out if Claire can defeat the latest contender, survive the quads, and replace the curator before Harry figures out she’s stolen his blood.

Devil’s Assistant Series

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Publisher: Wild Fey, LLC

Date of Publication: 12/01/2014

ISBN: 9781942030034
ASIN: B00PNVCQ8U

Number of pages: 290
Word Count: 90,000

Cover Artist: Robin Ludwig Designs

Book Description:

Last spring Claire’s seemingly normal—if not totally screwed up—life was tossed on its head. For five years she’d been one of the damned—a human that knows the truth about the otherworldly among us. She’d worked for The Boss—the Demon King himself—as his administrative assistant, handling everything from early retirements, to Maintenance’s incessant requests for dental.

No one gets dental.

Then she walked into Purgatory—totally not her fault—went back in time, and awakened powers she never knew existed. Now Claire has a prophecy hanging over her head, a diamond ring hidden in her sock drawer, and the blood of a long dead royal running through her veins.

And it’s only going to get worse.

Her vow to live free or die takes a serious hit when she’s forced back under The Boss’s protection. Of course, there’s no protection from fate, or the Bounty Hunter sent to deliver her to Purgatory. And as if being “the girl” in the prophecy wasn’t enough, Claire soon discovers there are three other contenders for her role—two of whom want her dead.

Follow more of Claire’s adventures in Dark Awakened, the second installment of the Devil’s Assistant Series, to find out if she’s lucky enough to escape with her life, or if she’s just the first notch on the next contender’s belt.

On sale for .99 cents February 5th-12th : Amazon

Number of pages: 290
Word Count: 95,000

Cover Artist: Robin Ludwig Designs

Book Description:

Claire, the Devil’s assistant, knows very little about the world she was dropped into five years ago, when she inherited her mother’s unpaid debt to the Demon King. She certainly didn’t expect to be a contender for the Fallen Queen’s throne, a target for the Druid King’s mafia, or a suspect in the murder of Junior, the Devil’s oldest hell spawn.

In a last ditch effort to save her life and get out of her deal with the Devil, she sets out to solve Junior’s murder only to be taken prisoner by the four most dangerous immortal hell spawn alive.

Not to be out done, the Pagan Queen Mab, claims Claire for entering her realm uninvited. She has an old debt to settle with her brother the Devil. Taking Claire from him after losing her years ago is just icing on the cake.

Will Claire win her freedom, and save herself from the Devil? Or be trapped by Mab forever?

Some chit chat.

So, the groundhog didn’t see his shadow!!! That means a mild winter and early spring. The weather has been so wishy washy. One day warm, the next freezing. I’m so ready for spring.

In fact, I’ve been browsing on line for a new ladder for my pool and maybe some new patio furniture.

That got me thinking about other things. Like shoes! Or not shoes! I’m huge on barefoot or flip flops. Socks and shoes smother my feet. I can’t even sleep without my piggies sticking out from under the covers. LOL

flipflops photo: flop girl flipflop.png

I was in the store the other day, standing in line to check out, and right beside me was a display of nail polish. I found some really fun colors for the summer and can’t wait to bare my toes to show them off.

How about you? Do you like your toes naked, or do you like them snuggled in socks and shoes?

Got lots of books to share, so let’s get to it!

Some chit chat.

I’ve been sitting here staring at my keyboard for at least five minutes waiting for inspiration on what to chat about. LOL I can say the usual. Worked a lot. Read a lot. Binged on Netflix. The weather has warmed up again.

Then it hit me. I drive a lot of the same routes day after day. I’ve become so accustomed to it, I almost don’t remember the drive.

But every now and then I catch a glimpse of the first time I drove through an area. How it looked for the first time.

That was my New years resolution. To stop and smell the roses. And I have and I am doing just that.

Sometimes I can even see my house as others might. Boy do I need to dust. LOL

How about you? Ever catch that elusive glimpse of new?

The Sugarspear Chronicles

The Complete Collection

by Nicole Arlyn

SugarspearChronicles cover

Genre: Fantasy

Synopsis

The Sugarspear Chronicles, the incredible twenty-six-novella saga that started with a little girl and her willow tree, is finally available in one complete collection.

The Sugarspear Chronicles: The Complete Collection is the story of young Sadie Sugarspear, a girl who endures intolerable abuse by reading about a fantasy world filled with incredible sights and outlandish people—a place she’s only ever encountered through her real father’s storybook.

One day, when the cruelty becomes too much to bear, Sadie runs away and hides inside her beloved willow tree. To her surprise, the tree opens, sending Sadie down into the abyss, into a land she’s only ever read about—where she must being a long, terrifying, and heartbreaking journey home.

Readers can now enjoy the entirety of author Nicole Arlyn’s dark fantasy saga in one complete book. This complete collection also includes a note from the author detailing the inspiration and events that led to The Sugarspear Chronicles.

Enjoy this excerpt.

She stood up, carrying with her this vision of a place she was seeing in her mind. It was a beautiful room, wide and spacious with a breeze of roses entering through a clear window. A hand carved wooden desk sat under the window and on top of the desk was a pile of fresh parchment and a big clear jar of dark purple ink. A pen with a blue feather sat on top the paper.

That was all. All she needed now. In this moment, a desire so strong rose up in her and lifted her spirit. She desired this place, this ink, and that’s all. Her body was done. It had exhausted itself, a physical exhaustion beyond anything she had felt, like she had run hundreds of days without stopping. She rested her head against the tree. The bugs spread apart and stopped crawling as they felt in her breath, the kind of truth that is undeniable. The truth of her exhaustion. She told them all, “If only I could have, a quiet place all my own where I can write by the sunshine, the smell of the sea in the wind that comes to me.”

The bones were breaking under her feet, the bones in her hands, crushing as she pushed again. Nothing left. No human strength in her.

But the tree. The tree had strength to feel her. It knew her hands, her breath, it had taken her stories, her secrets, her prayers. It always heard her. It shaded her from her shady world. It danced its branches around her and swung with her when she swung from the swing that was no more. It knew her roots. It couldn’t hold onto itself like she couldn’t. It wanted to speak back to her and this would be its way…

Some chit chat.

Not much new happened this week. The weather is wacky. Hot then cold, then freezing. LOL

For all of those who are going through the blizzard, I hope you are safe and warm at home. Take care!

It got pretty darn cold here. The wind blew like crazy and took your breath away when you faced it. My dog, Quigley, and my cat, Sheba, have the right idea on days like that. LOL

I cover my sofa with a flannel sheet to keep the pet hair off, and they love it.

I did finally buy a copy of The Martian. Have you seen it yet? I loved every bit of it. As good as the book! Bravo, Andy Weir!

I mentioned at the end of last year that I would be slowing things down on my blog and taking in less review books. I’ve been doing that, and it is so nice to not have the pressure of deadlines.

I am still taking in books for review, just not as many. And I’ve been going at my TBR like crazy. I have a bunch of books read that have been on my pile for too long, and even have reviews ready for them. Can’t wait to post to Goodreads and see those books moved to the read shelf.

Now to stop adding too many new ones. LOL

Got lots of books to share, so let’s get to it!

I’ll be hopping over to check out your Sunday posts so be sure to leave me your link!
