[Yeah, so another E word wasn’t coming to me – ideas anyone? You’ll get props in the next post… for whatever that’s worth ;)] First a few notes – there’s some FABULOUS free ebooks right now! These are Kindle links, but I believe all of them are also available on Nook. Candace Calvert : Code Triage [the heroine from her forthcoming Trauma Plan Preorder  [not free] is introduced in this book] Mary Connealy: Out of Control – book 1 in Read more

I’m having the most random year. Seriously. First the whole unintentional nose job thing. Now a sinus infection turn Bell’s Palsy. Seriously. What’s with that? Basically, the right side of my face is mostly paralyzed. Not completely. But mostly. I can still blink. But I can’t close the right eye to wink. I have a creepy half smile. And when I open my mouth wide it looks like the creepy white mask from the serial Read more

Have you seen this live video feed? Decorah Bald Eagles Facebook Page I haven’t been able to [easily] find a history on this, but apparently this video feed has been going on for at least a couple years. Mom and Dad were both on hand for the second egg hatching on 3/28. Christopher [age 4] and I have been watching off and on all day. A couple times we’ve seen Mom [at least according to Read more

*guest post by Michelle Massaro and April Gardner Last week, COTT posted a “Flash Clash” in which readers had just 2 days to cast their votes between two 100-word excerpts. It was a fast one! But not so fast that voters didn’t have time for their say. To add to the tension, the winner took the clash by a margin of one vote. That’s right. ONE vote difference. Both excerpts were so good, readers were split almost Read more

First, join me in happy dancing over at Seekerville! I’m the guest blogger today! Come by and say hi! Anyone who knows me or has seen me comment on other blogs [like Seekerville] knows I love Panera and that I work well there, but why? First, it’s a Panera. What else is there to say?! But once I’d been going there for a while regularly, I started to get to know some of the employees. Read more

First off… look at me! I got a mention on Real Life Petticoat Ranch! That’s Mary Connealy’s blog :D. Second… Nose news. The last month qualifies as a saga, I think… About a month ago, I had a routine trip to the dermatologist. I’ve had this spot on my nose that wouldn’t heal – though it finally had. Like a good girl, I told her about it anyway and she decided to do a biopsy. Read more

In Too Deep – Mary Connealy In 1866 Colorado, Ethan Kincaid agrees to a marriage of convenience with the same casual disregard he gives every decision. Audra Gilliland, young mother of two, accepts his proposal because she wants to stop being a burden to her newly married stepdaughter. And suddenly both of them are in far deeper than they’d planned. Ethan doesn’t expect Audra to affect him so profoundly, and when she begins to, he’s Read more

*guest post by Delia Latham It’s been an edge-of-the-seat, flashing-swords kind of Clash between Vannetta Chapman and Beth Wiseman. These gals elicited some genuine response! It is beyond clear that both authors are well loved, and that their writing touches hearts. This was an Amish clash, and if you missed it, you’ll definitely want to check out the excerpts, as both were excellent examples of GOOD Amish fiction. Beth Wiseman’s The Wonder of Your Love elicits Read more

I hadn’t planned to post this until later this week but it’s done [and I’m having surgery tomorrow so… ;)] We have a very special guest at our monthly meeting! Notice the day change! We’re meeting on Sunday instead of Saturday this month to accommodate her schedule.

Because you knew I’d have a pic of this one too :D. Suburban Straightjacket FINALED in Great Expectations! I don’t know any of the other gals but I’m friends with friends of Sherrinda’s. Also seems [based on titles] that I’m the only contemporary. But that’s okay. As Pepper said, “That makes u unique” [it was a text message – she’s allowed to abbreviate ;)]. So today I’ll be revising though I likely won’t resubmit until Read more
