Welcome! Today I want to tell you about another local
organization called <a href="https://streamsofhope.org/">Streams of Hope</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last month, I joined a few other local authors to sell and
sign our books at a craft show in Cutlerville, a suburb on the south end of Grand Rapids, MI. In
the booth next to us were a pair of lovely ladies who had a wide variety of
items. We learned that they were from a local charity called that fed and cared
for local residents in a variety of ways – through classes, medical care, after
school tutoring, and so much more. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I took home a few items from their booth, along with information about their organization. I'm truly impressed by the scope of their influence on the community, and I promised them I'd feature them in this blog hop. Here's a short video to explain some of the things they do:<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">When unlucky-in-love personal assistant Erin Hart
enters her boss’s New York office to resign her job, she doesn’t expect to exit
as his fake-girlfriend for an upcoming family wedding. How is she going to keep
her crush a secret when she has to share a room… and a bed… with Max for one
sizzling weekend in the UK?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Workaholic CEO Max Ferrell understands women only
too well: they either want his body or his money. But fiery, sexy Erin is
different and recruiting her to help curtail his over-zealous, matchmaking sisters
is proving that it’s far more fun to play while you work. Especially when his
prim and proper PA helps him to set the sheets ablaze. But falling for her was
not in the plan and if he’s not careful, the next wedding might be his own.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>My thoughts:</b><br />This is a light, entertaining romance. It was interesting to watch Max fight his attraction due to his conviction that he'd be a bad husband, like his father was. And Erin fights her feelings for Max. I did wonder about the heroine being 5' 7" and wearing a size 2, which is super small. That would make her extremely thin, and no mention is made elsewhere about her condition, so I'm thinking she's European size 2, which would still be quite small here in the US. I also paused when someone refers to a helicopter as a helo, but otherwise the story flows well, and the secondary characters are quite entertaining. Both Max and Erin have sisters who seem to be quite high maintenance. I wouldn't be surprised to see a sequel featuring either Erin's oldest sister (who doesn't get along with the business fixer) or Max's sister Annabelle (who ruins Max's date because she left her husband).</span></div>

This month I’m focusing on yet another local charity, one
that directly helps the children in my community as well as several others
nearby. Hand 2 Hand is an organization that collects and distributes food to
hungry children. This group is headquartered in the church I attend in
Hudsonville, MI, and I often see volunteers working as my quilt group meets on
Tuesday mornings.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hand2Hand was the brainchild of Cheri Honderd. While
working with a literacy program in her local school, she saw that while
children in low income families get the benefit of free lunches while at
school, they go hungry on weekends. She decided to work with the school and the
church to establish a program to provide a backpack full of food for these
children to take home each Friday. Soon, other churches joined in to sponsor
students in their local schools, and now 111 churches help to feed over 6,000
children in 192 different schools in West Michigan. Food is collected through
donations from individuals as well as businesses. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to the second Charity Sunday! If you were here earlier today, I apologize that my post wasn't complete. Sometimes life gets in the way.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I want to tell you about another charity located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Mel Trotter Mission offers a shelter for the homeless in the city. You can read about them on their <a href="https://www.meltrotter.org/themission" target="_blank">website</a>, but I can share with you that whenever there is a problem in the city, the Mel Trotter Mission is there to help.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The mission operates on donations, as well as sales from their <a href="https://www.meltrotter.org/givehelp/shop" target="_blank">thrift stores</a>, located in several places around the city. <a href="http://creative-hodgepodge.blogspot.com/2019/08/charity-sunday-warming-ears-ministry.html" target="_blank">The Warming Ears Ministry</a> that I shared with you last month visited the mission and the store headquarters last year. Since it was fall and a harsh winter was predicted, we brought several hundred hats with us. Here are some pictures from that visit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I’m so pleased to welcome Krysten Lindsay Hager to Creative Hodgepodge
today. Krysten has made a name for herself as a prolific author of young adult
novels, and today she’s celebrating the release of her newest release, the
second in her Cecily Taylor Series.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Blurb:</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> Cecily wants a big life, but can
she handle it?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cecily feels like she
has it all: great best friends, the beginnings of a career as a model/actress,
and she’s dating her favorite singer, Andrew Holiday. Then Cecily’s best friend
Lila begins to ditch her every time Lila’s boyfriend calls. Cecily feels lost,
but she and Andrew begin connecting more and she’s never been in a relationship
where she felt so understood. Andrew even begins to confide in her about his
anxiety. Soon Cecily experiences her own anxiety on a magazine photo shoot, but
she manages to impress the magazine staff. Just when it seems like all her
dreams are coming true, everything comes crashing down when a photo of Andrew
with another girl appears online. He swears nothing happened, but Cecily is
crushed. She feels like she’s lost two of the people closest to her. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

relationship real or was she in over her head?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt:<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One day I had the career and the guy of my
dreams. Then Danielle King came along. If people could be trusted, maybe it
would have been okay, but they can’t. They suck. And now my dream relationship
was gone and no one would ever know what had actually been in my grasp.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">How can a person go
from having a whole life with someone, and then it ends like you were never
even together? No wonder people talk about how awful divorces are. That must
hurt a million times more. Sure, I don’t have to see Andrew every day at school
like I did Zach, but it seems like Andrew was everywhere. I went to the grocery
store with my mom and they were playing one of his songs because he’s
technically a local.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Andrew’s music was always what I listened to
when I was sad. His heartache music got me through the worst times and now, not
only could I not stand to listen to it, there was now the chance I could end up
hearing music about our breakup. Actually, I didn’t know which was worse: the
possibility he’d use our relationship as inspiration for a song, or finding out
I was barely a blip on his radar and not even warranting a mention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to my corner of the internet! I haven’t blogged here in a long time, but when Lisabet Sarai invited me to join her on her Charity Sunday blog hop, I couldn’t resist! There are so many organizations deserving of our time and funds, but I’m going to start with local groups. If you know of a West Michigan organization you’d like me to feature on a future Charity Sunday, please reach out to me at <a href="mailto:patriciakiyonoauthor@gmail.com">patriciakiyonoauthor@gmail.com</a> and we’ll talk! For each comment on the blog feature, I’ll donate money to the group or company. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For this first Charity Sunday hop, I’m sharing a bit about a small group of women I’ve had the pleasure of working with for about ten years. Twice a month, we get together at Diane Solomon’s home in Grandville, MI to sew hats out of polar fleece. These hats are given to various other charities, homeless shelters, and schools. One thousand hats are sent annually to a mission in Juarez, Mexico. </span></div>

Each of the ladies present has a jobs in the process – some sew, and some cut fringe and tie the tassles. Diane does all the cutting – by hand! It’s amazing her hands haven’t suffered from all that repetitive motion! My job is to sew the hems on the bottoms of the hats after they’ve been assembled. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
When I have the bottom hem done, other ladies cut the top of the hat into strips and tie the strips together to make a tassle. We go through a massive amount of fabric each time, but it’s a lot of fun. We like to compare the various colors and textures of fleece, speculate on the people that will wear them, and laugh with each other when we make mistakes! But our main job is to make sure that people have something to put on their heads in the cold, snowy winter. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After the hats are completed, we sort them in piles of ten and then bag them – fifty per bag. On a good morning we can finish two hundred hats! We meet all year long (except the second half of December) because winters are really cold in Michigan, and there are a lot of families who are having a rough time. Each year we send a thousand hats to Juarez, Mexico, to a mission that distributes them along with a nice Christmas dinner. We also donate to various local missions – The Santa Claus Girls collects gifts to distribute each holiday, and In the Image provides basic needs for people all year long. Diane also scours the newspaper for notices from teachers and social workers asking for hats for the children in their care. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Diane keeps great records, and at the end of each year she lets us know how we’ve done. Her report last December said that 3450 hats had been donated in 2018. Since the group began, 52,710 hats had been made and donated. That’s a lot of warm ears! </span></div>

Noelle Copeland has no
intention of ever letting another man break her heart. She’s content to take
care of her two boys and help her brother around the church. That is until a
mouse sends her onto a table screaming like she’s being murdered, and a
handsome, heroic man comes to her rescue. Now, she finds her heart longing for
Turner Metcalf, but he’s keeping things from her. She wonders if she can trust
him not only with her heart but her sons’ hearts as well.<br />
<br />
Turner Metcalf is a man on a mission. He’s in town for the Thanksgiving and
Christmas season for one reason only; to protect his sister and her new
husband. He has a secret life he isn’t willing to give up. That is until he
comes to the rescue of Noelle Copeland. Now, his heart is drawn to the one
thing he never thought he could have; a future. He finds himself falling for
the divorced mother of two and her sons. <br />
<br />
Can he survive his secret mission long enough to let her know? Or will his
frequent travel and hidden agenda end things before they really get started?
Will he live through his mission and be able to consider a future with this
ready-made family? What about Noelle’s ex-husband and his new girlfriend? Will
they mess things up for Noelle and Turner? Can love find a way to overcome the
doubts of a woman afraid of Mice and Marriage?<br />
<br />
Love and marriage come to us inspired by many things. Who would have thought
that mold, spots, and mice would bring love and marriage? Well, they have. The
Love's Infestation Series continues with Mice and Marriage.</div>

Review</h2>
This is the third in a series set in a town called Benton, located somewhere in the United States where the weather gets chilly in winter. I enjoyed reading this story about a woman who is coping as a single mom of two active boys and a wealthy bachelor who is involved in some sort of secret mission. Noelle is a bit overwhelmed: her ex is an uncaring father who's taken up with a young girl of limited vocabulary, and she's afraid of how his abandonment will affect their sons. She's also in charge of a lot of the set up at church events, and she usually ends up doing things herself because people fail to follow through on commitments. Turner is the perfect hero - he's wealthy, but grounded. He has a tragic past, but rather than copying his parents' mistakes he works hard at being a good role model for Noelle's children. He helps her with both caring for the boys and her church duties. While the situation with the boys is resolved, we aren't told how the Christmas pageant turns out.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Earlier this year I read a
marvelous romance called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Game of Love.</i>
The book introduced two <span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">fascinating people and a romance who overcame seemingly
impossible odds to come to their happily-ever-after. Ara Grigorian delivers a
powerful story, so when I heard he’d written another romance I jumped at the
chance to read and review it.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was not disappointed. Once again,
we’re invited into the lives of two strong, intelligent, and multi-faceted
people. The kind you watch in awe and wish you could emulate. Sophie is an
attorney, sharp and driven. She’s also athletic, and soundly out-plays her best
friend Pete. She’s endured a disastrous marriage and has finally made the
decision to file for divorce. Pete is a successful architect. He loves his
large, boisterous Greek family, but has given up on finding true love for
himself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ten Year Dance </i>takes you through Sophie and Pete’s lives from the time they meet
in junior high, through the turbulent high school years, and culminating with
their ten-year class reunion. Both of them have come to a point where they need
to make important decisions about their professional lives. But before they can
do that, they need to learn more about themselves and each other.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The quality that sets a book apart
is its ability to make the reader care about its characters. While reading this
book there were times I wanted to hug both Sophie and Pete, and other times
when I wanted to smack them silly for being so blind and foolish. I’m certain
you’ll be caught up in their story, too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">Best friends since
sixth grade. A ten-year high school reunion. A truth they’ve danced around for
a decade.</span><span style="color: #222222;"><br />
<br />
Unlucky-in-love Sophie Perez knows her divorce won’t be easy—but she doesn’t
expect it to be dangerous. So when things get ugly, she agrees to move in with
Pete Nicos, her commitment-phobic best friend since childhood. Pete has
always been there for Sophie, just like she’s been there for him. At first,
taking her in seems like the best option, but soon her tantalizing
proximity blurs the lines of friendship. With their high school reunion on the
horizon will they find closure, forgiveness, and new beginnings?<br />
<br />
Ten Year Dance is a contemporary love story, rich with engaging and relatable
characters trying to find themselves and each other. Ara Grigorian’s latest will
stay with you long after you turn the final page.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<h2>
<strong><u>About <em>Ten Year Dance</em>:</u></strong></h2>
<strong>Best friends since sixth grade. A ten-year high school reunion. A truth they’ve danced around for a decade.</strong>
Unlucky-in-love Sophie Perez knows her divorce won’t be easy—but she doesn’t expect it to be dangerous. So when things get ugly, she agrees to move in with Pete Nicos, her commitment-phobic best friend since childhood. Pete has always been there for Sophie, just like she’s been there for him. At first, taking her in seems like the best option, but soon her tantalizing proximity blurs the lines of friendship. With their high school reunion on the horizon will they find closure, forgiveness, and new beginnings?
Ten Year Dance is a contemporary love story, rich with engaging and relatable characters trying to find themselves and each other. Ara Grigorian’s latest will stay with you long after you turn the final page.

<strong><u>About the Author: </u></strong></h2>
<strong><u> </u></strong>
Armenian by heritage, born in Iran, lived in Barcelona, and escaped New York until he found his home in Los Angeles, Ara’s first eleven years were both busy and confusing. The fruit salad of languages would slow down his genetically encoded need to tell stories. Until then, an alter ego would be required…
He received an engineering degree from California State University Northridge and earned his MBA from the University of Southern California. Today, he is a technology executive in the entertainment industry. True to the Hollywood life, Ara wrote for a children’s television pilot that could have made him rich (but didn’t) and nearly sold a video game to a major publisher (who closed shop days later).
But something was amiss until his wife read him the riot act. “Will you stop talking about wanting to be a writer and just do it?” So with her support (and mandate), and their two boys serving as his muse, he wrote stories.
Fascinated by the human species, Ara writes about choices, relationships, and second chances. Always a sucker for a hopeful ending, he writes contemporary romance stories. He is an alumnus of both the Santa Barbara Writers Conference and Southern California Writers’ Conference (where he also serves as a workshop leader). Ara is an active member of the Romance Writers of America and its Los Angeles chapter.
Ara is represented by Stacey Donaghy.

<b>PK: Why did you feel you needed to revise The Inheritance? </b><br />
<br />
PT: The original novel was published in 2007 under the White Rose imprint of The Wild Rose Press. When White Rose became a publishing company on its own and then an imprint of Pelican Book Group, the book was part of the transitions. I was talking with PBG’s Sr. Editor about another project and she told me she’d thought about editing it and re-publishing under PBG. I loved the idea and quickly signed a new contract. <br />
<br />
<b>PK: Any problems? </b><br />
<br />
PT: We had a few minor tweaks to work out. I write inspirational “with an edge” and some of the edits didn’t feel like this was my book at all. But as I was working with one of the most generous and understanding editors I’ve ever dealt with, she allowed a lot of the scenes she originally wanted to cut, to remain. <br />
<br />
<b>PK: What kinds of changes were made? </b><br />
<br />
PT: Most of the changes were minor updates to bring the story more into the new millennium and of course a great new cover. Here’s an example: <br />
<br />
<b>Original Version: </b><br />
<br />
“What’s this?” Rebecca asked, removing the sheets of paper off the passenger seat so she could sit in it. <br />
“I jumped on the Internet and printed us up a map. Look it even has written directions,” Ray answered.<br />
Rebecca giggled. “Jumped on the Internet and printed up a map? You sound like a fifteen-year-old with a new toy instead of a grown man that’s well educated.”<br />
Ray chuckled. “Let me see if I can rephrase that then. I utilized my PC, accessed the Internet and printed out directions and a map. Better?”<br />

<br />
“What’s this?” Ray asked when Rebecca handed him some papers before climbing into the front seat of his SUV. <br />
“I went online and printed out a map and directions for our trip.” <br />
He chuckled. “That’s what the GPS on my phone is for.” <br />
She flushed. “Oh, I didn’t think of that. Besides, wouldn’t this be much easier than trying to read directions on your phone?” <br />
“Probably so, but its voice activated, too.” <br />
She shook her head, laughed. “Men and their toys.” <br />
“Hey, women use technology.” <br />
“Not me. I’d rather have written directions.”

<strong><u>About <em>Ten Year Dance</em>:</u></strong></h2>
<strong>Best friends since sixth grade. A ten-year high school reunion. A truth they’ve danced around for a decade.</strong>
Unlucky-in-love Sophie Perez knows her divorce won’t be easy—but she doesn’t expect it to be dangerous. So when things get ugly, she agrees to move in with Pete Nicos, her commitment-phobic best friend since childhood. Pete has always been there for Sophie, just like she’s been there for him. At first, taking her in seems like the best option, but soon her tantalizing proximity blurs the lines of friendship. With their high school reunion on the horizon will they find closure, forgiveness, and new beginnings?
Ten Year Dance is a contemporary love story, rich with engaging and relatable characters trying to find themselves and each other. Ara Grigorian’s latest will stay with you long after you turn the final page.

<strong><u>About the Author: </u></strong></h2>
Armenian by heritage, born in Iran, lived in Barcelona, and escaped New York until he found his home in Los Angeles, Ara’s first eleven years were both busy and confusing. The fruit salad of languages would slow down his genetically encoded need to tell stories. Until then, an alter ego would be required…
He received an engineering degree from California State University Northridge and earned his MBA from the University of Southern California. Today, he is a technology executive in the entertainment industry. True to the Hollywood life, Ara wrote for a children’s television pilot that could have made him rich (but didn’t) and nearly sold a video game to a major publisher (who closed shop days later).
But something was amiss until his wife read him the riot act. “Will you stop talking about wanting to be a writer and just do it?” So with her support (and mandate), and their two boys serving as his muse, he wrote stories.
Fascinated by the human species, Ara writes about choices, relationships, and second chances. Always a sucker for a hopeful ending, he writes contemporary romance stories. He is an alumnus of both the Santa Barbara Writers Conference and Southern California Writers’ Conference (where he also serves as a workshop leader). Ara is an active member of the Romance Writers of America and its Los Angeles chapter.
Ara is represented by Stacey Donaghy.

Even though I spend hours in front of my laptop, my writing would go nowhere without the support of my writing groups. Most authors are generous enough to share their expertise with those who are less experienced, and when I first started writing, I was in awe of Maris Soule. I read several of her romances, but somehow I missed reading <i>Heiress Seeking Perfect Husband</i>, originally published by Silhouette in 1996. Fortunately, Maris is re-releasing several of her romances as ebooks, and this one caught my eye. So when I heard that she needed bloggers to help her publicize it I quickly jumped on board. I asked her to explain a bit about the process of preparing books for re-release, and happily, she obliged:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
****</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Heiress Seeking Perfect Husband</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> is the seventh of my previously
published romances that I’ve published as an e-book. I have the rights back to
22 of the 25 romances published by Harlequin, Silhouette and Bantam. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Heiress</i> was the first one I wrote for
Silhouette’s new (at the time) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yours
Truly</i> line (which only lasted a few years).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Being able to
put my backlist out is a thrill. While writing a romance, I always fall in love
with my hero. It was sad when I sent off to New York, but then he would come
back, wrapped up in a paperback. I’d find him in bookstores and markets. But
then, alas, thirty to forty-five days later, he was gone…off to the graveyard
of stripped books, used book stores, and garage sales. (I was never sure if it
was good or not to find one of my books at a garage sale. At least the book
lived on…for a while.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The major
problem I’ve found with reissuing my backlist is I write contemporary romances.
At least they were contemporary when I wrote them. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Heiress Seeking Perfect Husband</i> was published in 1997. It’s
difficult for me to believe, but that was twenty years ago. A few things have
changed since then. Quite a few. There are a few of my early romances that I
probably won’t reissue…unless I classify them as historical or rewrite them to
bring them up to the twenty-first century.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I was lucky with
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Heiress</i>. I didn’t need to make a lot
of changes in that story. Here’s one spot where I did reword a sentence. In the
paperback, it reads:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">But
how can one savor the beauty of words if they are spoken then gone? Faxes and
E-mail are no more than bytes along the electronic highway, thrown into
cyberspace, to be filed or printed with the click of a mouse. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">In the e-book,
it’s this:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">But
how can one savor the beauty of words if they are spoken then gone? Texts and
E-mail are no more than bytes along the electronic highway, thrown into
cyberspace, to be filed or printed with the click of a mouse. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">As I said, not
much of a change.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">There was one
scene in which I couldn’t change what I had, not without a rewrite. Here’s what
appears in both the paperback and the e-book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Clint knew she’d seen him
in the kitchen. His timing couldn’t have been worse. It was a good thing he
wasn’t planning on going into detective work. Creating security systems was a
lot easier than discretely keeping an eye on a person. The way Shannon kept
watching the door to the kitchen, he knew she wasn’t aware that he’d moved to
the hallway near the telephone and bathrooms.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I don’t know of
many restaurants that still have pay phones on the wall near their bathrooms, but
having him pull out his cell phone wouldn’t have created the same image.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I also love
having control over the covers of my ebooks. Although many of the covers on my
romances were great, I never felt the one for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Heiress Seeking Perfect Husband</i> did it justice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Patty's thoughts: I enjoyed this story about a child-bride who married a millionaire and was widowed soon after. Her fairy-tale life is kept intact partially through the efforts of her chauffeur, Clint Dawson, who does much more than drive his employer around. Shannon is getting bored with the life she's expected to lead and wants to start making her own way, but Clint is determined to protect her from from anything that could harm her - including himself.<br />

Shannon Powell thinks the interview is over when she mentions that her late husband never wrote her love letters. She isn’t prepared for a headline that says, “Heiress Wants Love Letters.” When the letters start arriving, she decides to answer a few…to even meet some of the men.<br />
<br />
Clint Dawson isn’t sure what to do. His title is chauffeur, but Shannon’s late husband actually hired Clint to be her bodyguard. She’s said she doesn’t need a bodyguard and has threatened to fire him if that’s his job, which means he must keep Shannon from seeing him as he follows her on her dates. What’s worse, Clint ends up writing letters for one of the would-be suitors. It’s Cyrano de Bergerac all over again as Clint writes the words he’d love to tell her in person, if he only felt worthy.<br />

<span id="docs-internal-guid-296705ee-3eee-e5d2-d646-3dd42b134497"><b><i>I love living in a small, rural town</i></b></span><br />
<span id="docs-internal-guid-296705ee-3eee-e5d2-d646-3dd42b134497"><br /></span>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-296705ee-3eee-e5d2-d646-3dd42b134497">My first twelve years were spent growing up in Walnut Creek, California (when Walnut Creek was still a small town), and I have childhood memories of catching pollywogs in the creek that ran by us, of being able to pick ripe peaches from the trees on our two acres (also almonds, pears, English walnuts, apricots, and more); and sitting in my “thinking” tree making up stories. When I married my husband, I was going to U.C. Santa Barbara, but two years later we decided to move to Michigan. It was supposed to be a short-term move (just a couple years, my husband said). I won’t tell you how many years we’ve now lived in Michigan, but we now have grown children and teenage granddaughters. I haven’t regretted the move. Michigan is a beautiful state, and for 27 years we lived in the rural community of Climax. What a perfect location for a romance writer, and what a neat place to plot a mystery with a lot of suspense. (Yes, there are some similarities between the real Climax and my imaginary Zenith in <b><i>The Crows, As the Crow Flies,</i></b> and <b><i>Eat Crow and Die,</i></b> but the events and people in those books are definitely fictional.)</span><br />

When GRACIE CASTLE agreed to be a surrogate mother to twins, she never expected to become their full-time mom. Thankfully, that’s when she discovers she inherited a large Texas ranch from a grandmother she’s never met. Clueless but desperate, she’s managing to hold her own until the babies decide to make an unexpected appearance.<br />
<br />
Enter WHITMAN LOVETT, III a wealthy businessman who needs to lease three thousand acres of the Castle Ranch. He expects an easy deal, with the Castle Ranch in financial straits. He isn’t expecting to deliver a baby calf in a rainstorm or Gracie’s twins at the ranch. But Gracie and the babies manage to get under Whit’s skin and into his heart. The very thing he doesn’t want.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Writing romance and cozy mysteries with a Texas twang and a touch of humor, Loralee Lillibridge (aka Lora Lee), loves to tell stories with believable characters, small towns where everybody knows your business and quirky, but lovable, neighbors.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A native Texan, Loralee has called West Michigan home since her marriage, but still misses seeing the bluebonnets in the Spring. Her love of travel took her to Ireland to celebrate her 80th birthday. As a child with a vivid imagination, her library card was a treasured possession. Although encouraged by her high school English teacher to put her imagination into stories, Loralee’s first published novel, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Accidental-Silhouette-Special-Loralee-Lillibridge-ebook/dp/B005WJGU9Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500309159&sr=8-1&keywords=accidental+hero+lillibridge" target="_blank">Accidental Hero</a> for Harlequin, didn’t debut until after marriage and raising a family. Since then, she’s had a cozy mystery published by <a href="http://www.bellebooks.com/shopexd.asp?id=383&bc=no" target="_blank">Bell Bridge Books</a> and three romance novels published by <a href="http://www.tell-talepublishing.com/loralee-lillibridge.html" target="_blank">Tell-Tale Publishing</a>. Her greatest love, however, will always be her family.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">I have a LOT of crafting hobbies, but I've never really tried painting. Maybe it's because my grandfather was an artist. We (my mom, brothers, and I) have his paintings up in our homes and I've always known I could never come close to his skill. But Mysti Parker, author of all types of romance, often posts pictures of her projects, so I asked her to share a bit about her passion.</span></div>

A Writer’s
Not-So-Daunting Hobby<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">By Mysti Parker<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Once upon a time, I would
often think about taking up oil painting, only to toss the notion aside. It
seemed so daunting when I thought about all the materials I would need to get
started. For years, I’ve consoled myself by watching Bob Ross videos. It may
have been his soothing voice as he painted “happy little trees,” but to me, it
just looked so relaxing to swipe those colors on a canvas and end up with
something beautiful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">As an author, I do this
daily with the words I write. Starting from a blank page, I can create magical
worlds, poignant romance, comedy that will make you snort out your tea, and
historical settings that take you back in time<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/19/science/researching-the-brain-of-writers.html"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">. Visualizing
plot and settings is something most creative writers do as their stories
unfold. </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An interesting study in
Germany</a> revealed that writers use many parts of their brains as they work,
including the vision-processing regions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">We’re naturally a creative
lot, but every writer gets burned out now and then. All work and no play
makes…you know how it goes. Ask any writer what they do in their downtime, and
many of them will probably say they enjoy some other creative art. I know
writers who paint, draw, knit, sew, and play musical instruments. We do enjoy
our creative side, so we tend to use it in order to relax. Doing other creative
arts activates different areas of the brain and gives our writing neurons a
break. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">So, in the hopes of finding
a new way to both relax and enjoy my creative side, I finally decided to take
up oil painting this summer. The materials needed still seemed daunting, but I
researched many options. Traditional oil paints require paint thinners and
solvents that can be harmful. Since I knew I would be doing some painting with at
least one of my kids, I wanted a safer option. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">That’s when I found
water-mixable oil paints. No paint thinners or solvents needed. After a
friend’s suggestion, I went online to Jerry’s Artarama and ordered a starter
set of ten <a href="http://www.jerrysartarama.com/lukas-berlin-water-mixable-oil-colors">Lucas
Berlin water-mixable oil colors</a>. What surprised me most was how affordable
it was. They had a great sale going and a free shipping offer, so I also
ordered some tabletop easels. I bought brushes and canvases at Walmart and at
Michael’s using an in-store coupon. We were set.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">But, would they truly work
as well as traditional oils? The answer is yes. You can thin them with water or
oil and they still have the smooth consistency of traditional paints. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A side note: If you thin with oil (we used
lavender essential oil), you can also use your traditional oil paints with
them. Plus, the lavender oil smells awesome and is soothing in itself. <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">My goal with painting isn’t
to sell them or have them displayed in museums or anything like that. We’re
just hanging them around the house for cheap and unique décor. When your goal
is to simply have fun and relax, that takes away all the stress. Plus, it’s a
great way to have quality me time<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> and</i>
quality time with my middle child, Zoe. She’s creative-minded like me, so we’ve
painted a few pictures together. Our latest is the two-canvas fish. I love how
it turned out. My husband will be hanging it over his big fish tank when it’s
dry. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A side note: I get my painting ideas
and techniques from Pinterest and painting tutorials on YouTube.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">A bonus benefit to my new
hobby is that it gives the writer portions of my brain a much-needed break,
which is particularly helpful when I’m suffering from writer’s block or simple
burnout. After a fun painting session, I’m usually ready to jump back into my
work-in-progress. If I’d known it would be fun, relaxing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and</i> motivational, I’d have started much sooner!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Cooper elopes with her high school sweetheart and leaves for a fairytale
honeymoon in Europe. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;">Two weeks later, she's a widow, abandoned by her husband's family and too

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m so pleased to announce the release of my newest book, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Road to Escape!</i> This is the first in
a multi-author series from Eskape Press called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Reunion</i>. The series features the Cooper family from Escape,
Indiana. Tom Cooper, an attorney-turned-rancher, is the patriarch of the
family, and I took on his story.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Blurb:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tom Cooper left his high-pressure law practice in
Indianapolis for life on an alpaca farm in the tiny northwest Indiana town of
Escape. Though he continued to practice law, the farm provided a good life for
him, his wife, and their five children. But when his wife died, grief consumed
him. His withdrawal into himself damaged his relationship with his children,
and they’ve all left. He’s resigned to taking care of the farm alone, but a
disturbing medical diagnosis could change things.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Laurie Matthews left her nursing job in shame. The town of
Escape has welcomed her, and she now owns the local diner. She’s attracted to
the handsome widower who comes in for coffee and a hot meal but keeps her
distance. Everyone she’s ever loved has died — her grandparents, her parents,
her husband, and one other — one she still can’t bear to think about. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A romantic relationship isn’t on the agenda for either of
them, but when the diner falls on hard times, Tom steps in to help, paving the
way for them both to escape the loneliness in their lives.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">I’m always eager to help
promote other authors’ books, especially when they’re books I enjoy reading! I
haven’t read Darcy Flynn’s latest release, but I’ve read and loved so many of
her others I jumped at the chance to share this one. Darcy says, “I had so much
fun linking Jillian Jeffrey, a character from my first book, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Keeper of My Heart</i>, with the second book
in my Like No Other Series. My readers wanted Jill’s story told and I’m happy
they insisted.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

articles at leisure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

fashion industry’s latest darling, has a heart for the less fortunate. Her goal
is to raise enough money for fashion icon Anna Delany’s, Like No Other charity
foundation. The donation will not only keep the charity afloat, but will place

<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">In
a twist of fate, Cameron is soon hired to shadow Jill as she volunteers with
the charity. Shorthaired and clean-shaven, he looks nothing like the bearded,
disheveled man Jill had encountered the night of the gala. During their time
together, he not only discovers the noble reason behind the bet, but witnesses
first hand his article’s negative impact on her business. Faced with the
prospect of losing her, will Cameron come up with an antidote for Eagle Eye’s
toxic exposé before Jill loses everything she’s worked for? </span><!--EndFragment--><span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><b>Excerpt:</b></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Okay. I admit it. I was having coffee in the bistro near the
park when I spotted you. So, I followed you here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">An incredulous expression crossed his face. “You do see the
weirdness in this don’t you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“I felt badly for what Sandra said last week.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“It was the truth, wasn’t it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“To a point, but—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Look. An abandoned subway is no place for a spoiled
socialite. This place is dangerous.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“You think I’m spoiled?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Yes and twenty thousand dollars richer.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“The twenty thousand was for charity.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“I guess that made what you did to me okay?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“No. Of course not.” She sighed. “Look, I admit that I’ve
done fairly well for myself. But it hasn’t always been that way.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“You’re a Jeffrey.
It’s always been that way, sweetheart.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">She pulled her hands away from the flame and clasped them to
her chest. “What do you mean?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Wealthy, wrapped up in yourself, and according to the
society pages, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">One of New York City’s
wealthiest families back in town</i>,” he mocked. “Everyone who’s anyone in
this city knows about the Jeffrey girls of Scarsdale.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Girls?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Your sisters.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Oh, of course, them.” First Mark and now him. No wonder he
had ill feelings toward her. He thought she was one of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">those</i> Jeffreys.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“So, you think because of that you know me?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Not you personally, but…” He shrugged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“When you’ve met one high society dame, you’ve met them all.
Is that it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Dame? Now there’s a word.” The corners of his mouth lifted.
“First hobo and now dame. You and your friends should get out more.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">For one second, all she saw was his to-die-for half-smile.
That along with his disheveled appearance was quite a package.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "bookman old style"; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Well, according to your earlier comment, my <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">friends </i>and I get out plenty.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Five years go by and his brother calls with news that their father passed away. They learn that they have inherited an abandoned lodge in Nova Scotia. When he partners with his brothers, renovations begin. </div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Last month I accepted an
Instagram challenge to post one picture a day on a given topic. For the most
part I succeeded, not only in posting each day, but in meeting the goals I set
on day one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here are the goals I set for
myself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl4xIsr2tavaQZLNAtXRh_f8y1iwYHmsbaEaBEsvCNROXpruV0HIUpCywEYzCjgXUQg71nhnWlfQgAU0IWN66yymWSZEhC4Izjjzyc8IyeBLP6Y5aRMMk84C45FJBO8G-ggSerukLQYHo/s1600/May+goals.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl4xIsr2tavaQZLNAtXRh_f8y1iwYHmsbaEaBEsvCNROXpruV0HIUpCywEYzCjgXUQg71nhnWlfQgAU0IWN66yymWSZEhC4Izjjzyc8IyeBLP6Y5aRMMk84C45FJBO8G-ggSerukLQYHo/s320/May+goals.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The final result?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Nope. According
to my spreadsheet I added only 1400 words to my manuscript.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Yes! I had so
much fun filling up boxes with stuff I didn’t need and taking them to the
charity shops that I ended up adjusting my goals to one box per day – and I
succeeded! Thirty-one boxes of stuff left my house. One or two came in –
medications for my hubby, pictures for me (which went into my scrapbooks).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Almost. According
to my Activities app on my watch, my average was more like 3 times a week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">4.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">No. Bad girl.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">5.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Not quite. But
more than 50 percent of the time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So #2 was my greatest
success. I have more room in my house. Here’s the proof. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">As for the rest, I’m
not too concerned (except for #4). I probably did more than I would have if I
hadn’t specifically set those goals for myself. After all, I knew I’d be held
accountable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I decided to try again for
the month of June. Here’s my new goals list:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In the
years since my first book was published, I’ve met so many awesome authors who
write clean romances, just like me. New York native Christina Lorenzen is one
such author. She recently announced the release of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Healing Seas</i> by Forget Me Not Romances, and I invited her to come
and share the inspiration for the book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">When my publisher
announced that she was looking for authors to write novellas for state
collections, I knew I wanted to write something about my state, New York. Even
more so, I wanted to write a story set on Long Island where I live. I was also
very excited because I had never written a historical story before. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">My intention was to
write a story set in the early 1700s, specifically a pirate story. I did a lot
of research and I wrote the first chapter, when I began to worry about things
like dialogue and using accurate terminology. I was so frustrated I decided to
stop writing early one day and watch television. My daughter was also having
some tough times as she was putting together her senior thesis project for her
film degree. Graduation is in May. The clock was ticking for us both. We
decided to watch The Titanic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">We’ve watched the movie
at least a dozen times. It never fails to keep me glued to the screen. The
costumes alone just leave me in awe. As we watched it this time, we talked
about my husband’s grandmother, her great grandmother. We were blessed that my
daughter got to know Grandma Dorothea. She was in her late teens when she
passed away, so we have some wonderful memories of her, but as the movie played
we talked about how much grandma loved the movie too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Titanic sank in
April of 1912. Grandma was born March 3, 1912. She had been fascinated with the
Titanic and had listened to stories about it as a young child. So in 1997 when
the movie came out my mother-in-law took her to see it. Honestly, I think it
was one of the best days of grandma’s life. She couldn’t stop talking about it.
It was that night when I realized that I was going to change my time period
from the 1700s to 1912. It was that night Addie Mayfield came to me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Seas</span></i><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> is
the story of two people, Addie Mayfield and Frank Shea, who each suffer a
tragedy at sea. It’s the story of how they struggle to get past disappointment
and sadness and find love and hope for a future. And I couldn’t have written it
without Grandma Dorothea, whose excited face came to mind with every word I put
on the page.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In just a
matter of days, Addie Mayfield’s life is upended. Through an arrangement her
father makes, she sets sail on the RMS Titanic as governess to the two young
Fairchild children. When tragedy strikes, she finds herself rescued alongside
strangers on the RMS Carpathia, headed for New York City. Far from home, she is
taken in by the O’Reilly family to wait for her family to send for her. With no
money for her passage home, she’s brought to the small hamlet of Montauk to
become a caretaker for a great aunt she has never met.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Captain
Frank Shea is a man without a ship. Removed from duty as captain of the RMS
Morrow, he’s come to Montauk to recover from a leg injury. More painful than

Welcome to Creative Hodgepodge!<br />
<br />
THE AUTUMN'S KISS BLOG HOP HAS ENDED. WINNER OF MY GIVEAWAY IS MARY PRESTON.<br />
<br />
Last year, I wrote a short story called <i>Autumn Vows, </i>and it was part of a lovely anthology called <i>Autumn's Kiss. </i>Seven other sweet romance authors collaborated on the project, and the result is a lovely collection of stories based on an autumn theme. We celebrated the release with a blog hop during autumn 2016, but then we realized that not everyone experiences the season at the same time - so we decided to recognize fall in the southern hemisphere by having another blog hop!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi03FGPWN4i3c58EEmPg4f_v8fJP1gzc3RqxOXK_diusO0xRL1cWfkhoIFcAjX7m4qzTmod75UwrtYX0M7Sbk771jjHWPkQlBoZ91yNINHEOidwJRZUqcQPSGT8_YQDNf_PmygtU164Kb4/s1600/hot+apple+cider.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi03FGPWN4i3c58EEmPg4f_v8fJP1gzc3RqxOXK_diusO0xRL1cWfkhoIFcAjX7m4qzTmod75UwrtYX0M7Sbk771jjHWPkQlBoZ91yNINHEOidwJRZUqcQPSGT8_YQDNf_PmygtU164Kb4/s200/hot+apple+cider.jpg" width="133" /></a></div>
We decided that this time, we'd share our favorite autumn recipes. Since <i>Autumn Vows</i> takes place in my native West Michigan I decided to post instructions for making Spiced Apple Cider. In this part of the country we have lots of apple orchards, so apple cider fills the grocery store shelves all season. I love the smell of apples and cinnamon as it's simmering on the stove. There are lots of great recipes, but my favorite is quite simple: Take a gallon of cider, heat it in a large pan, add a little brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Let it simmer for a half hour (or until you can't wait any longer) and enjoy!<br />
<br />

I like to sip on the cider as I'm writing, crafting, or watching TV. I keep lots of coasters around to protect my furniture! A friend showed me how to make these cute fabric coasters and since I've always got scraps of fabric around from recent projects, I made some four out of various colors of gingham to give away to a random commenter. To enter, simply leave a comment below telling me about your favorite cool-weather treat! I'll choose a winner on Monday morning, April 24.<br />
<br />
<br />
But before you go, be sure to enter the Gift Card giveaway (one $100 prize and one $20 Gift Card) by entering your name, email addy and my favorite fall treat (see two paragraphs above) in the form below:<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lately,
most of the books I read are those written by people I know – either in person
or online. And when I find an author who writes well and is entertaining, well,
I’m eager for more. After I read Mysti Parker’s historical novel </span><i style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A Time for Everything </i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I purchased some
of her light comedies and a spicy story or two. Her latest project really
sounds great, and I’ve already pre-ordered my copy! I asked Mysti to give us
some information on </span><i style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Mann Cakes,</i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> and
she graciously complied. Read on!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Blurb:</strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>Love makes men do desperate things, if desperate things means opening a rival cupcake shop to drive your ex-girlfriend crazy. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em><br /></em></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Twin brothers and Air Force vets, Tanner and Garrett Mann, return from deployment to find their thriving business burned to the ground. Time for Plan B: Move back to their hometown of Beach Pointe to start over. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But that means running into Paige and Morgan Baxter –gorgeous, curvy, and owners of Two Sisters Cupcakes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There’s an old diner for sale across town, Garrett’s a great cook, and Tanner has an idea. They’ll make savory cupcakes that men would like. We’re talking bacon and Cheez Whiz. Even better? They'll call it Mann Cakes. Problem is, they end up attracting an unexpected crowd.
Paige is furious. Every man in her life has left her behind, including Tanner. She’s sacrificed everything for her shop. She won’t lose it over some egotistical ex-boyfriend, even if he does have an Air Force-chiseled body. Her younger sister, Morgan, isn’t helping matters. She’s been gaga over Garrett since high school. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To hell with that. If it’s a fight Tanner wants, it’s a fight he’ll get. But how much is Paige willing to risk to win a cupcake war? </span><br />
