2 of 3 Post- Halloween

Hello again, and thank you for checking out my postings.

For the past 4 years the Creative Writing Group I belong to has published a Halloween Anthology. Those of you who write and who have sought aid in the publishing world you understand how cool of an opportunity it is to be able to include you work on such a platform. Our group sells the collections for .99 cents and all profits go to Mercier Literacy Group in Rochester, NY for young readers and writers.

Hapless Halloween was year one's collection. For those of you who have read my YA novel, Frozen, it all started here, as Frozen was my short story entry for this anthology.

A Handful of Halloween came out the following year. In this collection, I submitted the Rabbit Hole. If you're looking for something creepy, check this story out.  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FMN0UQ4/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_YBwewb12MEEKT

Year 3, although I didn't contribute to this collection, I was very impressed with the stories in Here's to Halloween.  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O6APUSW/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_EFwewb0011JF8

On Oct 1st, our group published our 4th anthology, A Hint of Halloween. The Isle of Toothsome is my contribute among 22 other great stories.  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0160N4C22/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_kMwewb0AXV0P6

1 of 3 Post- Labor Day Weekend

Hello All.

It has been a while since we spoke. I'm so so so sorry. The last few months were just a little crazy. So in the next few post I plan to update you on the month of Sept and what's going down now.

First, as promised I have pics from my Labor Day Getaway. My next post will be the latest project I've worked on and the third post will be some pretty freaking exciting news. Without further ado, my Labor Day Weekend.

Myself, hubby, BFF, her husband, her brother and his wife rented a house on Seneca Lake for the Labor Day weekend. It was our first time all going away together for the holiday. The weather was the warmest I think we have ever had for the season and it made for a wonderful time on the water.

Our first day there we dropped all of our stuff off at the house and then went in search of the closest winery. For those of you not familiar with the area, Seneca is a part of the Finger Lakes and is also big in the winery department.

The Group

In case you are wondering, we had our own personal selfie stick. Yup, hubby's arms are so long that every group pic we took it's his arm holding the phone out far enough to take the pic. 

The House

The View

Inside the House

3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom (Yup, one bathroom, epic.)

Day One

That night, once the mosquitoes chased us inside we played Heads Up and watched The Rock. 

Day Two

Morning

We were having a couple's dispute and decided to settle it will an arm wrestling match...which I won. 

Our Afternoon

For our afternoon we rented a limo and checked out a few of the local wineries. 

We also stopped at a few microbreweries

Did I mention hubby is 6'3"? He took this pic too. 

Day Three

Couples and Selfies!

We were photobombed!

And Last and the Most Unimportant.

The Spiders...I walked into more webs than I would like to count. I swear if you left an area for more than 20 minutes a new web was crafted.  

Not a fan of spiders, they so give me the hebegebees!!

Outside of the spiders and a few health issues, we had a great time and I hope to be able to share next year's adventures with all of you. 

Labor Day Weekend

Hello All!

I hope you are having a great weekend. I wanted to wish all of you a safe and wonderful holiday weekend. I should in the coming week have some pretty fun pics to post of my weekend.

Be safe and have fun. 

Summer Vacation

I'm a little late with posting these and I apologize for that.

In June my baby bother (not a typo) and I went to visit family in Florida. We also hit up some of the sights while we where there. I didn't take many pictures (sorry!) but here are a few-

While on our visit our uncle took us to a barbecue festival...we got there a little late and most of the places had sold out of the good stuff, so we decided to check out a local BBQ joint up the road. This is what my brother ordered:

Please note that he has 2 plates! Do you see the one with the bread and baked potato? That's his too. And I do believe he had one more side of meat as well. 

Needless to say, he did not finish his meal in one sitting: 

These are his leftovers. The restaurant didn't have a container big enough so they wrapped his ribs in foil.  Don't mind the foot at the top of the screen, I had just sat on the floor and he handed me his leftovers to take a pic of...that's his foot. 

I believe the evening after the rib fest our uncle took on us on an evening casino cruise. This was my second time going but my brother's first. 

We were waiting at the dock before setting sail...I knew my mom wanted pictures so I figured it was the best time to snap some.

Me and my baby bother, Alex. We had a great time of the boat. I walked away $30 richer from playing the blackjack tables for the first time. You've got to give me some props, I won the $30 four minutes before the tables closed for the night. 

Family night out! I'm only posting a few pictures of our family on one of my last nights in town. I shall keep the rest of the pictures stored on my phone and not risk turning up missing...I was warned by some of my family not to post their pics. 

My beautiful cousin, Kelsi and I. 

Aunt Kathy and me being goofy. (I told you I was posting this picture!) 

Me trying to take a selfie of me and that white building behind me. I need to work on my aim. 

My lovely, ageless grandmother and I. Good thing she doesn't get on line, she told me not to post this picture. (hehehehehe, she'll never know.)

I tried to take a pic with my brother and I got to close to him. As you can see, I took the picture in the middle of jumping out the way of being jabbed in the ribs. (ugh, now you know why I call him my baby bother.) 

The last picture is of Boots the cat. My grandmother's BFF and lap cat/dog-she sits guard while my grandmother doses off to sleep throughout the day.  

She swatted at me two seconds after I took this pic. Silly cat. 

I had a great time, so much so that I don't have anymore pictures. Well, I don't have any more pictures that I'm allowed to post. But I do have a Labor Day weekend getaway planned with friends so I'll make sure to get some good shots of them. Until text time, happy reading!

New Giveaway

Now until Aug 8th, if you buy any book from Sarah Book Publishers, you are entered to win some cool prizes.
Wayward Love, my newest romance is one of the books that will get you entered into the contest. If you haven't already, get your copy and you could be the winner!

Does age matter? How about race? When you think about these subjects, does the person you love come to mind? Do you find yourself trying to justify the feelings you have for someone that may not fit the ordinary couple standards? Should anyone have to give a reason for why, when that special person enters the room everything else ceases to exist? These questions have plagued Tia Grant, Junior Editor-in-Chief of her local newspaper and short story romance writer. As she enters into an interracial relationship with Maxwell Grant, a man 41 years her senior, society, family, and friend's instinctive curiosity keeps Tia questioning if she and Max are really meant to be.

Here are the contest rules.

Happy reading and good luck!
