I’ve had several guests this week on this blog, so I’m happy to have a day to pop in and say hi again. I’m trudging along, editing, thinking about writing, and trying not to watch the news (impossible!). I have an appointment with my cardiologist today. Boy does he have a lot to catch up on with me—I haven’t seen him since early last year. I know at the end he’ll give me marching orders—lose weight, walk more, blah-blah.
Anyway, it’ll be a busy day. Gotta get started!
As a way to solve my book-hoarding problem and make room in my bookshelves, I’m continuing my Clear My Bookshelf Giveaway! I have a ton of my books, collected over my 20 years of publishing. So, rather than consign them to the burn barrel I thought maybe a bunch of giveaways would be fun. As the first giveaways last summer seemed to garner a lot of interest, I’m happy to offer more opportunities for readers to win a signed copy of one of my old books! I bet if I ask pretty-please, my daughter will be on board with making a trip to the post office for me. She loves it when I volunteer her for stuff. 🙂
For a chance to win a randomly chosen by me (I might say, do you want a western, an erotic novel, or a paranormal?) book, which I will of course sign and fill with a bookmark painted by me, tell me how the new year is treating you so far!

Not that great so far but then again not so bad. I am upset that the post office sent my fancy crochet hooks to the wrong place.

Any western would be nice. Glad you’ve received good news on your health. Keep doing what the docs say we need to read your old and new books

What a fun question for an even more fun contest! I love books, especially the signed ones! So far the new year is me treating well. My daughter took me to a stage play in Chicago the end of last month. Awesome. Good play and time with my daughter. A two-fer!

I love western romance novels. There’s nothing like a sexy cowboy to get you going.

So far, I’m cautiously optimistic about 2025 personally. I’m slowly recovering from knee replacement surgery and incredibly grateful for some warm weather here in Florida!

So far on a personal level it has been good! I turned 60, my boys turned 30 so it has been party after party after party! Woo Hoo!

So far this year. I had the Tribeca of illnesses. Flu, pneumonia and RSV. Then i had an allergic reaction, Steven Johnson Syndrome, to the 2nd round of antibiotics that I was placed on. My car got stuck in a ditch bc of ice and when it was pulled out somehow the the bent the frame causing my hood not to latch. And these are just the better parts of my year so far. Already over 2025, lol. But life goes on and thing will get better. Thank you for the opportunity. I am definitely an equal opportunity book lover.

So far, 2025 has had its quirks. Politics aside, I had an eye doctor appt and I changed appointments twice. I use a walker, so weather is a crapshoot. I cancelled the December appointment because of rain. I rescheduled it for January only to have the frigid front move in. I decided to avoid using the walker so I told them I’d call back only to find that Jan day the front broke and it was in the upper 30’s. I don’t drive and the place is only a few blocks from my house, but… Let’s hope things improve. Let’s go with an erotic novel.

So far, so good. Daughter and her family are doing great and she is starting a new job. Our son just moved from VA to Alaska for a new job – ER Nurse. Hubs and I are well!

This is year is going quickly. My oldest is in college and my youngest just started middle school. I have read your books for many years. I used to read your books when I sat with my mom in the hospital. I would like a erotica or a paranormal book. Thank you so much
