I have a slew of resolutions this year:

1. Get in shape – hit the tread mill at least 30 mins. a day. (No so hard to do while reading a good book featuring a treadmill like Liz Fichera’s Craving Perfect)

2. Read more paranormals – lately I have been in the doldrums and I know it because I am not getting enough daily doses of vampires and werewolves (Must pick up Caridad Pineiro’s Lost series)

3. Have to eat healthier homecooked meals (Easily done by whipping up delicious Latin inspired meals from the HOT IN THE KITCHEN recipe book)… Read More »

Happy Thanksgiving for those of you who are celebrating the holidays. Hope they are filled with good cheer, laughter and lots of delicious food!

You’ll notice I’ve gotten a face lift. How do you like the new improved me? I took out the borders for a wider look, one that I think is easier on the eyes. I still list all my events on the home page, but you’ll also find the latest blog, too. The bookshelf is sleeker and better laid out. You’ll notice I’ve got several Shadow Warrior books lined up and I can’t wait to reveal those … Read More »
