Addicted to Romance

Happy Valentines Day!

Lucky Friday the 13th

I'm not a terribly superstitious person. Black cats hold no terror for me. Ditto for walking under ladders. From what I can see Friday the 13th was only unlucky for the Knights Templars back in 1307.

For YOU, this Friday the 13th could be very lucky indeed. My blog tour goes on and with it another chance to win a VEXING THE VISCOUNT. Today, I'm at… Continue

The Truth about Dogs

Last night I was glued to the TV, watching the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. I love dogs and I'm fascinated by the wide diversity of breeds people have created. Wasn't it precious that the oldest dog in the ring took home the prize? The Sussex spaniel had such a sweet, worried-looking face.

Today I'm blogging about MY dogs (and the pets my… Continue

An Author's Review

I know the whole point of my 50day/50blog VEXING THE VISCOUNT tour is to tout my own work, but I was raised in the midwest, where modesty is considered an artform. I can't talk… Continue

FALLEN by Cindy Holby ~ A Recommended Read

Fallen

He was the product of illegitimacy, son of a noble house with no claim to its title or riches. For John Murray, the only hope of a decent life was his career as a British Officer.

Fallen

Had she lost her heart when he rescued her from ruffians, or when she first looked into that face like a golden angel's? No… Continue

Today, I'm visiting the one and only non-romance blog on my tour. It's Minds Alive On the Shelves and when I was setting up the tour, I was so taken with the blog's title, I had to contact the owner, Lisa.

Hey, It's Monday. A little confusion is Required!

Sometimes, as the old Scottish saying goes, the best laid plans 'oftimes gang awry.' I was supposed to be at WildOnBooks today. I even swapped emails with them last night, but can't seem to raise anyone today. Technical difficulties, I guess. I so understand that, being the anti-techno queen, myself. If I hear from them,… Continue
