Sending good thoughts to those in Irene’s path
Good thoughts and prayers to everyone who is in Irene’s path. I hope she passes through quick and disappears. Main thing is for people to stay safe. Material things can be replaced, even though it will suck if Irene does cause a lot of damage.
As announced previously, I am participating in “Snippet Saturday,” unfortunately, there were some technical issues so I won’t be posting a Snippet today, however, now that I have things sorted out, I will be participating in the future. Look out for that, as I will be adding an exciting contest to the Snippet Saturday.
I do have excerpts of my published worked on the BLOG and on my WEBSITE. I hope you enjoy them
I’ll be changing the theme of my blog, because somehow when I added my blog roll on the side, my pages disappeared. I’ve put the pages on the right hand side–Some of my favorite recipes and my fellow authors favorites.
If you’re experiencing fall-like, cool, rainy weather, may be a nice way to spend the day (besides reading of course 
) and try out some of our favorite recipes.

My Writing News:
I’m busy writing these days, finishing up a novella and still working on a suspense/thriller. Both still have no titles. I’m sure something will come up by the time I write “the end.”
Again, positive thoughts to everyone who will experience Mother Nature’s bad mood (I think she needs some strong medication lately, she’s so cranky).
Until next time . . . . .
Hot Spanish Lover – A Tapa Recipe & a Contest – Welcome Kimberley Troutte
Thank you for spending time with us, discussing Catch Me in Castile, sharing a recipe and generously offering a prize to one lucky blog commentary. (Contest details below).
Selena: If you had the opportunity to join a circus, what would be your dream job with them?
Kimberley: I had to think long and hard about this one. I like lions, but I wouldn’t want to try and tame one, or stick my head in its mouth. Hmm. Maybe I’d join the Cirque du Soleil and learn some of those amazingly beautiful acrobatic feats.
New York! New York! Plus a tasty recipe to try. . . .
Like kids, New York City never sleeps. Admit it—you fantasize about shopping at Jimmy Choo’s, followed by a power snacking at Magnolia Bakery, while you imagine Alicia Keys singing Empire State of Mind in the background.
I’ll admit that when I had attended BookExpo America, this visualization was a fleeting thought. For an author, BookExpo America is the equivalent of a child’s first trip to Disney World, seeing the Cinderella castle and cast of characters in real life.
Welcome Denise Agnew – Interview – Excerpt & Contest
Please join me in welcoming and congratulating Denise Agnew on her latest release BEFORE THE DAWN.
Denise is here to chat with us, share an excerpt of BEFORE THE DAWN and is offering a prize for one lucky blog commentator (details below).
I’ve had the honor and pleasure to critique Denise Agnew’s latest release BEFORE THE DAWN.
I highly recommend this beautifully written historical.
The chemistry between Elijah and Mary Jane is strong from the moment they meet, increasing with every encounter. A tortured hero, a strong heroine, both vulnerable and in danger, makes for high suspense, sizzling sexual tension and great love scenes.
Interview with Denise Agnew:

Selena’s Review of SAVING HALEY:
Nancy Lauzon’s flair for unique storytelling and unforgettable characters along with her talent for writing page-flipping prose, keeps the reader riveted to SAVING HALEY. Once again, Nancy Lauzon had this reader feeling the emotions of each character, with laughter, tension and at times a few tears.
SAVING HALEY features an intelligent, strong heroine, and a heart-throb hero who both have a past that they have to deal with in order to be able to move ahead. It is in these characters and in the distinctive plot and subplot that the reader will experience emotional turmoil in this must read.
Nancy Lauzon blends the right amount of mystery, romance, and sprinkles it with a good balance of eccentric, quirky, fun and mysterious characters.
SAVING HALEY is a fast paced mystery that will take the reader on an intriguing path.
INTERVIEW:
Selena: If we could ask your best friend, “What’s the funniest thing you could say about Nancy?” What do you think she would say?
I hope she would say that the funniest thing about me is my writing. Most of my novels contain a bit of humour, and I like books that lift me up. There is so much negativity in the world these days, and so many serious, depressing books. We need to lighten up, and I hope that my books put a smile on readers’ faces. Having said that, Saving Haley is a little bit darker than my other novels.
Looking for that Special Someone?
Only those who possess a wicked sense of humor and a sense of the absurd need apply.
Do you have the following qualifications?
Willing to take field trips (may include stalking) to observe and interview police, hookers, military personnel, farmers, morticians, mobsters, mechanics, Walmart greeters, nuns and prison guards—if you own a pair of night vision goggles even better.
