Good afternoon and happy Friday to everyone out there today! I missed last week due to surgery, but seem to be recovering well enough, even if I am about to go crazy with sitting around.
I had hoped to do some editing while I recovered, but sitting up at the desk wasn’t working well, and neither was the lap top.
But I’m about to begin again on Old Flame. I figure if I can make it through a chapter a day it shouldn’t take long. Of course what it shouldn’t and what it will may be different. You know how that goes, I’m sure.
So if this isn’t too long, or I miss another week, don’t despair. I’ll be back when I’m fully functional again. In the meantime, catch up on the Gambler’s Folly series while you wait for Old Flame. This time we have bear shifters!
Yes, March has arrived, with rain, wind, and cold temperatures for us. And we’d just gotten used to the warmer springtime temperatures a few days ago. Ah, well, that’s Georgia for you.
How is everyone out there today? And what are you reading? I’ve been indulging in some paranormal cozy mysteries while I continue editing on Old Flame. Next in the Gambler’s Folly series, this book features bear shifter Kort Behrens and a woman he met thirty years ago when they were both at university. Though they’d never dated then, a spark begins as they both travel to Gambler’s Folly. Mother Nature does have a wicked sense of humor…
But for right now, don’t forget the Book Sale over at Smashwords, beginning tomorrow, March 3. It’s their annual Read an EBook Week sale. And yes, all my books will be included. Some will be discounted.

Have a wonderful month! Spring is just around the corner.
It’s that time of year again–rain most days and temperatures from summer to winter and back again. It will be just a bit too chilly not to have heat, but as soon as you light a fire, it’s too warm.
How are things going in your world today? It seems like a great idea to find a good book, a cup of coffee or tea, and have a seat for the rest of the afternoon.
What are you reading? If you haven’t looked at my books before, check out the video below for a brief preview. I have two series under this pen name–Esperance and Gambler’s Folly.Esperance is more laid back featuring people with unusual abilities. Gambler’s Folly is futuristic with shifters.
Either way, one of them would make a good read for your afternoon. I’ll have new covers out soon, so let me know what you think. In the meantime, happy reading!
If you like a little magic with your romance, go over and check out her book Master of the Fleet.
And if you’d like to give her a little boost, a little bit of love, go over to All Author and vote for her book cover, which has been nominated for the February contest!
So what’s been happening around here? Oh, my…
First, I went down to our daughter’s house to get our two black kittens spayed at her vet. She recommended them to us, and it gave me a chance to get away for a visit. Of course the first time we tried this, the cold weather hit Georgia and they closed the clinic because of the possibility of freezing rain. So one visit turned into two. But both have been spayed now, and all are recuperating nicely at home.
Next, my husband has finally been able to retire, even if his company kind of fumbled and postponed it by a couple weeks. And then he’s had his second shoulder replacement surgery to fix his other shoulder. He is also doing well and recuperating well in his recliner.
Next up is my surgery, to fix the hammer toe issue I have on my left foot. I had the right one done last year and hoped maybe the other foot would be fine. Alas, it was not to be. So here we go again.
In the meantime, I’m doing my final edits for Old Flame, the next book in the Gambler’s Folly series. It’s a second chance romance, with shifters (of course). And a billionaire romance, with a bit of dominance. Of course, he is a bear shifter…
I’ll try to keep you posted on everything going on, but if I take a while to get back to you, at least you have an idea of what’s happening on the home front.
Happy February to everyone. Watch for a Valentine’s Day sale at Smashwords!
