Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours! We just moved to a new state. Our house is big, beautiful and…bare (we gave away just about everything before we left). My kids are sleeping on the floor. The puppies are running wild. My car is acting up. My son is upset because he didn’t want to move away from his friends. My daughter can’t walk (ankle surgery)…

But we’re together, we’re happy and we’re going to sit on the family room floor tomorrow and enjoy an awesome Thanksgiving dinner with joy in our hearts. We have so much to be thankful for. The bank account ain’t full (especially after just moving) but we’re not homeless. We’re healthy. We’re fed. We’re rested. I have a career. AND I HAVE BOOKS TO READ!!! Life is damned good regardless of what the media says.

Everything is relative. When compared to other places, for example, Bangladesh where the yearly average income is $1800 a YEAR, or Europe (where I was recently) where gas is consistently $6 to $8 a gallon, I think I’ll be grateful for what I have instead of complaining about what I don’t have. The best is here, and better is on the way ;D Woohoo!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey all,

In addition to the Holiday Hotties contest, I’m participating in Ciar Cullen’s HUGE Christmas contest. She’s got a whole bunch of us participating, tons of cool prizes and a big grand prize (that I’m not supposed to tell you about ;D) Check it out!

And don’t forget to enter the Holiday Hotties contest, too. Some folks have entered by leaving awesome reviews on Amazon.com. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT!

Well, I’m back to packing…man, my back hurts so bad it feels like I fell down the stairs again! We’re moving on Friday – woohoo!! Can’t wait to get to the Pacific Northwest (Seattle). The first thing on my list is…bug Lauren Dane!

And I absolutely hate it! LOL! It’s a younger man/older woman story, but the couple is only 8 years apart. The woman on the cover appears classy, settled, a professional late thirty-something…and the guy looks 12! ROFL!

I do love the colors, though. They make me think of caramel swirled over ice cream or something. I’ll have to put a blurb up soon.

HOLIDAY HOTTIES Round Two has just been sent out to TJ On A Tangent newsletter subscribers. The newsletter has new questions and the announcement of the October winner. There are also four new book covers and juicy excerpts, too. The general public will get all the ‘good stuff’ next Friday on the 15th.

Oh, I almost forgot to post the new Caramel Kisses book cover. Here it is…
