Short Stories to be Released!

I am gearing up to release two short stories soon.  They are Victorian Romance Short Stories called Lady Gabrielle and Lady Elisabeth about Carly (The Governess) and Susannah's (Pirate Bride) parents falling in love and also Creighton's (The Governess) parents falling in love.  Two more short stories will be added sometime in the future to make it a four book set. I'm really excited about sharing these love stories with you all.  

I'm looking for some beta-readers who would be interested in reading them to see if they are ready for publication.  I think they are, but I'm more interested in what you think. :)  Also, I'm interested in gathering reviews from those of you who beta read so that, as soon as I publish them, they have some reviews out there to look at.  

To sign up, click on this link to submit your name, please.  

Thank you!  I have the best readers out there!

Big hugs,

Happy Thanksgiving!

Blessings have been abundant in my life with loving family, friends, and a loving Father in heaven.  I am so grateful for these blessings, along with so many, many others.  Truly, I can't count them all for there are so many I take for granted, but I wish to be especially grateful today.  


Have a Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Writer's Retreat 2014!

Wow!  What an incredible weekend!  And thank you, Wendy Swore, for the awesome excuse to go and write to my heart's content!  I believe there was 22 authors in all that were there at the Authors Incognito Writer's Retreat 2014, and all made it an amazing experience, just like last year at my first retreat.  

A cabin, friends and fellow authors, great food, and a great view--all attached to TIME to write. It was an adventure.  I was able to pump out 21,000 words, lost 2300 of them, but was able to recover by writing up an outline of what went missing...the only downfall to writing till you are bleary-eyed.  :)  It was all worth it.  Now Book Three in The Huntington Saga Series Novels is about 1/3 of the way complete.  I moved the deadline to spring, since I know it won't be done this month, so put it on your calendars, folks!  

Here's to the beautiful stories out there in the world yet to consume!  I love reading, so here's to all of you awesome authors out there!

Tijuana!

Imperial Beach, California

I've been recovering the last few days from my trip to Tijuana, Mexico and southern California to my doctor, Dr. Calzada, who is a miracle worker.  As many of you know, I've been there twice now, a whole week the first time, and four days this trip.  

Dr. Calzada specifically focuses on detoxing the body and building it up again. Unfortunately, this time he found that, not only do I still have bacteria in my blood, but I'm dealing with parasites in my body as well.  No wonder I'm so ill.  But he has me on a strict regimen that should do the trick in ridding my body of these unwelcome little creatures.  All in all, I should start feeling a lot better, I hope, by Christmas.

Luncheon at Benihana's

My dear friend and neighbor took me this trip, and I couldn't be more grateful to her for her kindness and her amazing company.  Thank you, Camille!  We had a blast together.  I am ever grateful for good people in my life.

 

I enjoyed touring Point Loma's Lighthouse with Camille and seeing the gorgeous view from there, which also enabled me to see San Diego, Catalina Island, Imperial Beach, as well as Tijuana from our vantage point. Beautiful!

Point Loma Lighthouse, CA

San Diego and beyond...

Payson, Utah Temple

I love counting as many temples as I can as I travel.  Last trip, I counted 14 temples! :)  That was incredible, but I didn't see as many this time.   It always amazes me, as I travel, how beautiful God's creations are...even in the desert.

Overall, I am grateful to my mom for this trip and this opportunity to get well.  I am grateful to my Heavenly Father and my Savior for always being there for me.  I am grateful to still have some gumption to fight for my life each and every day.  There have been days that I could not say that, but I always felt love from above.  I am so eternally grateful for that show of love, for without it, I would not be where I am today.
