--> Happy Wednesday.  Today I am going to post from my WIP Mystical Wonders Book 3 - The Right Call.   Sophia sat on a rock by the shoreline and pulled her legs into her chest. Earlier that morning, she jogged down the same path in her shorts and tank top with her hair tied into a small ponytail, this being her usual morning ritual before walk.   It was her walks that help her make the decision to let go and move forward.   The words, You’re Better off Being Alone , by the band It’s Not Over was right on target.   Why stay in a relationship that is going nowhere but leaving you in a state of depression? She wasn’t.   Time to move on. Thanks for stopping by. CLICK HERE TO RETURN TO HUMP DAY HOOK BLOG CLICK HERE TO VISIT MY WEBSITE

Welcome to this weeks Tuesday Tales. The word prompt this week is Ghost.  Hope everyone has a good and safe Halloween Lorenzo pulled into the small lot on the side of the café.   Despite the chill in the air, it had turned out to be a perfect night.   This had always been Pia’s favorite place to go for desert.   Besides, they made the best latte on the whole entire Island. “Would you like to sit in or outside?”   Lorenzo asked, his hand under her elbow ready to lead her in some direction. “I’d rather eat inside if you want me to be completely honest with you.” “Works for me.”   Lorenzo pulled open the door and followed Pia in. “Hey Pia.   Where have you been?”   a young girl with black pigtails with purple highlights asked. “You know me Lena, always floating around.”   Pia looked around and found a table against the wall.   “Would you mind if we sat over there?”   Pia pointed. “Not a problem.   I’ll give you a few minutes to look th

His muscles bulged out of his white T-shirt, displaying a tribal print cuff on his left forearm. “I’m glad I ran into you today,” she said staring at him from behind her dark sunglasses.   “You come down here often?” he asked in a husky voice. “I’m down here everyday.” “Maybe I’ll catch you again.” I hope you enjoyed my mini excerpt/paragraph.  The Boardwalk is available through Secret Cravings Publishing, Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, All Romance Books and Book Strand.

 Welcome to this weeks Tuesday Tales.  This week I'll be writing to the picture prompt below.  I hope you are enjoying Pia and Lorenzo's Story. On the way back to Staten Island, instead of using the highway, Lorenzo drove through the streets.   This took Pia by surprise.   Why was Lorenzo purposely taking the long way home where they had to stop at every corner because the lights weren’t in sync? Lorenzo reached over and pinched her cheek.   “I know what you’re thinking.” “And what’s that?” she played along with him. “I want to show you this house.   It’s in the middle of Bensonhurst.” “What so special about it?” “As a kid I called it the mystery house.” “Why’s that?” “The house was so big, unlike the ones around it.   The Fishers were the owners.   They are eccentric and still to this day leave their house decorated for Halloween all year long.” Lorenzo pulled up in front of the house.   She wo

Welcome to this weeks Tuesday tales.  This week's word prompt is cool.                                              For a late summer night, the air was cool.   This was the time of year Pia hated most, when the temperature plummeted at night.   But somehow tonight the cool air didn’t seem to bother her.   They walked along the bridge holding hands, walking straight down the center of the path.   Whenever Lorenzo would try to lead her over to the side, she would gently tug on his hand pulling him back.   She didn’t want to tell him how much she feared the ocean.   How as a kid the undertow pulled her under water by the ocean’s edge. How that fear never left her and still haunts her every time she’s near water.   But tonight, she felt different.   With Lorenzo at her side, she felt safe, secure.   Lorenzo stopped walking and with his free hand pointed to the Manhattan skyline. “I love the view of Manhattan at night.   No city is like this in t
