I Got the Call


I am still doing the dance. I got the call last Monday along with a publishing contract from Secret Craving Publishing. I am still in shock. It's hard to believe that after all these years my dream of becoming a published author have come true.

I never thought I would get the call. Now that I have, I'd like to thank Romance Writers of America for leading me down the right track. I have learned so much since becoming a member over six years ago. I also would like to thank Tanya Goodwin, my critique partner for all her "suggestions", which were always right, and for the brainstorming sessions that took place over the phone.

I am going to take you on this wonderful journey with me. Along with my daily walk on the South Beach Boardwalk in Staten Island, New York.

Black Friday Blog Hop

Welcome to the Black Friday Blog Hop. I am not a Black Friday Shopper.  You ask why?  Because I was on the other side of the door. I worked at Toys R Us for five years.  And I worked every Black Friday.  I would spend Thanksgiving with my family, and then rush home to try to get a few hours sleep before going to work at 3:30 AM in the morning. I'd get to work and fight with the crowds to get through the exit door into the store.  By 4:00 AM the customers are crushed against the front door, some their noses against the glass.  Electronics and the hottest dolls are on the top of everyone's list.  Despite the complete mayhem, I must admit it was one of favorite days of the year to work, along with Christmas Eve. In my eyes, the main theme of all the Black Friday mayhem is love, getting the best deals to make our family, friends and love ones happy. Now you want to talk about love, I am giving away a copy your choice Roses or The Boardwalk . ...
