I'm Melting, Oops, Free from ARE, #amwriting #caffeinateme #writestuff


Good morning everyone! *sips coffee* I hate to sound like a broken record, but man! It's freaking hot already! Think cool thoughts... just think cool thoughts and all will be well.

Another day of temperatures in the 90's. My zucchini is loving it, at least. The tomatoes are thriving also, just the peppers appear to be ready to give up. Today is designated as a work day, but I think I'm going to stick to indoor work.

Speaking of work, I had a big oops. I have a few books that are supposed to be marked free at All Romance, and they apparently went back to 99¢. My mistake. I fixed the issue, and once again, you can get Cold Snap, Chances Are, The Aristocrat and His Servant, and Centurion free at All Romance, in addition to the super shorts, The Captain's Cabin and Nothing to Forgive.

While I was over there I couldn't help noticing a few more fabulous free reads, and I may have picked up a few to peruse in between work stints.

In case you're wondering, I got


  • My Gay Geek Crush - New to me author, but I LOVE the best friends to lovers story line. 
  • Shirt - Ok, it's Amy Lane, and a Ryan and Scotty story. Picking this one up was a no-brainer. 
  • Harlan's Ryde - I've read this one before, of course. It's written by my very best friend Havan Fellows and is a complete riot. Re-reading it is top on my list. 
Unfortunately, I can't read anything until I get some words on the page, so I'd best get myself off to the WIP. 

Y'all have a great day and stay cool :)

The Lure of the Season

Garden Season 


Every year as winter winds down and I get tired of grey skies, I get the urge to grow things. I buy bags of enriched soil and packets of seeds and little cardboard thingies. (technical term)

Every year I have some sort of plan for the "best garden ever".  

This year, I've decided its time for me to be practical. I'm not going to go out there when its 110 degrees to weed a garden. I will face that fact about myself, and I will overcome it. Because I AM going to have a beautiful garden this year. I enjoy fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits, and I want to enjoy them year round.  

So I'm planning a new sort of garden for this year. 

I'm container gardening. Starting my seeds next weekend, in boxes and bowls and jars and yes, even some of those nifty little cardboard thingies. I have window boxes and pots all ready and waiting for me to fill them. 

I'm starting with some herbs- basil, and oregano and parsley on my kitchen windowsill. I bought a neat little Homer Laughlin piece - an oval casserole- that will house the basil. Then I think I'll use mason jars like the picture above shows. 

Do you do any gardening? What's your secret?

Be Yourself

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e.e. cummings, 1955
