June is speeding past, in part due to many fun events. The
last two weekends we attended local parades, which are always fun, and also
left me looking about the same shade of red as a boiled-lobster. I think I’ll
start using the sun block made for kids, it seems to work better than the adult
version. A touch of sunburn was worth all the fun and a good smearing of
coconut oil when we got home took care of the sting. I do love coconut oil and
use it for many, many things. Last Friday I decided to finally tear up the old
floor in the upstairs bathroom and put down the tile squares I’d purchased eons
ago. They are the foot square pre-glued tiles, so you just peal and stick. The
glue managed to squeeze through a bit, so once I was done, I used coconut oil
to wipe it away and it worked wonderfully. The floor looks nice and didn’t take
long, which made me wonder why I kept putting it off.
Next up...JULY! Summer is truly here!
The arrival of July will bring several things, a family
reunion, the fun celebration of our wonderful country on the 4
th,
and the release of the first
Daughters of the Roaring Twenties books!
The
Runaway Daughter releases July 1
st! I had so much fun
researching and writing these books, and I love the covers the Harlequin art department created for them!
From stowaway…
After years of playing the local gin
joint to pay off his father’s debts, talented musician Brock Ness has landed a
radio gig in Chicago. Now he’s on the up-and-up, his next stop is securing the
dame of his dreams, Ginger Nightingale…
…to
Chicago celebrity!
If Brock is headed for fortune and
fame, Ginger won’t be left behind! She may be the youngest of the Nightingale
sisters, but she’s old enough to know what she wants. And Brock is right at the
top of her wish list!
Of all the speakeasies, in all the world…
Mysterious city slicker Ty Bradshaw might have won her father's trust, but
everyone knows Norma Rose is the true boss of Nightingale's resort. And it'll
take more than that charming smile to shake the feeling that Ty is not all he
seems…
....He
walks into hers.
Ty is a federal agent on a personal mission of revenge. But he hasn't figured
on falling for a bootlegger's daughter. Suddenly, flirting with headstrong
Norma Rose seems far more exhilarating than chasing gangsters!
For every wild child…
No more watching from the
sidelines for Twyla Nightingale: her feet are firmly on the dance floor! She
won't let anyone sour the delicious taste of freedom—especially
not Forrest Reynolds, back in town after all this time.
…there's a guy who thinks she's the bee's knees.
Forrest didn't expect a warm
welcome from the Nightingale sisters, not after their lives had been so
dramatically upturned. But seeing the challenge in Twyla's eyes, Forrest takes
this rebel for a wild dance she won't forget!
Often the quietest
people…
Josie Nightingale has always been the odd girl out. While her sisters swoon
over guys, she's busy trying to change the world! Which isn't easy with Eric
"Scooter" Wilson watching her every move.
…have the biggest secrets!
She may be out of his league, but the day Scooter rescued Josie from jail and
discovered her secret, he vowed he'd do anything to protect her. And if keeping
Josie safe means not letting this stubborn dame out of his sight—then so be it!
We had a lovely weekend at my brother’s cabin on the lake.
There is nothing like watching the sun set from the deck of a pontoon boat. And before we left home for the lake, we
celebrated our granddog, Bear’s, birthday. He turned eight, and is such a good
sport when it comes to the things Grandma makes him do.
