Sundays are special ...

Good morning. I hope you're having a great Sunday. Sundays are special to me ... I feel like it's okay to goof off a bit. Of course, I'll do some writing and editing work on my new novel, but today will be low key. 
 
Will browse home decor magazines on the porch and check into Caribbean travel. I've been state-side for quite a bit so may try to eke out a trip to the tropics soon. Soul misses the sea ... we'll see ...
 
Have a super day!

Love Fridays!

Hi everyone. I hope your Friday is going well. Enjoying the morning ... cloudy in Atlanta, but the morning is quiet, peaceful.   On my second cup of coffee, doing some grassroots marketing for Loving a Texan from New Orleans, .

Marketing is never ending, but it's paying off. After, will continue with new novel, just in the wings.

Full day ... but good stuff!

I hope your day was good. Full day on this end, but goooooooddddd stuff. Editing galore (what else!?). Logging off -- but only because my eyes are bugging out of my head  -- it's after 11 PM EST Thursday night.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy the rest of your night. Grabbing my Sleepy Time tea, catching a little news, and hopefully dozing off to the little cottage in the woods in my next novel ... until tomorrow. (Who said writing was easy????)

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!  Below is an excerpt from Wikipedia about the origin of Saint Valentine's Day: 
 
St. Valentine's Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. The most popular martyrology associated with Saint Valentine was that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire; during his imprisonment, he is said to have healed the daughter of his jailer Asterius. Legend states that before his execution he wrote her a letter "from your Valentine" as a farewell. Today, Saint Valentine's Day is an official … to keep reading, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day.

Enjoy the day, and don’t forget to pick up a love story for Valentine's Day ... see Loving a Texan from New Orleans (Novella) http://www.amazon.com/Loving-Texan-New-Orleans-ebook/dp/B00BB1BBC8/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1.

Have a great Thursday!
