I was only gone for two days, but I am telling you my garden exploded. I had a delightful time last night walking through it exploring all the new flowers that are blooming. Right now I love growing plants from seed because I am seeing the rewards from all of my patience. But if you asked me a month ago I would have said the waiting really kinda bites. I want the instant gratification I get from buying the plants at the store, but they never come out as big or as plentiful as when I plant from seed. I also love the surprise I get when a seed from last year decides it wants to grow again this year and you get a bonus plant you didn’t plan on.  I posted some pictures of my garden on my Pinterest page along with a few updated pictures of the baby chickens.

Remember When (The Remember Trilogy Book 1)
T. Torrest
4.6 Stars (526 Reviews)
Genre: Romance | Women’s Fiction

FREE for a limited time

Come back to the 80s with this coming-of-age romantic comedy about a pre-fame Hollywood movie star and his high school sweetheart! Years before Trip Wiley could be seen on movie screens all over the world, he could be seen sitting in the desk behind me in my high school English class. This was back in 1990, and I cite the year only to avoid dumbfounding you when references to big hair or stretch pants are mentioned. Although, come to think of it, I am from Northern New Jersey, which may serve as explanation enough. We were teenagers then, way back in a time before anyone, himself included, could even dream he’d turn into the Hollywood commodity that he is today. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you who Trip Wiley is. But on the off chance you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade, just know that these days, he’s the actor found at the top of every casting director’s wish list. He’s incredibly talented and insanely gorgeous, the combination of which has made him very rich, very famous and very desirable. And not just to casting directors, either. I can’t confirm any of the gossip from his early years out in Tinseltown, but based on what I knew of his life before he was famous, I can tell you that the idea of Girls-Throwing-Themselves-At-Trip is not a new concept. I should know. I was one of them. And my life hasn’t been the same since.

Author’s Note: Remember When is the first book in a trilogy series but there is NO CLIFFHANGER. This romantic comedy novel is intended for mature teen readers and immature adult readers due to some high school sex scenes, underage drinking, questionable language and 1980s flashbacks.

Desert Gold
Zane Grey
4.3 Stars (327 Reviews)
Genre: Action & Adventure | Historical Fiction | Westerns

FREE for a limited time

A FACE haunted Cameron – a woman’s face. It was there in the white heart of the dying campfire; it hung in the shadows that hovered over the flickering light; it drifted in the darkness beyond. This hour, when the day had closed and the lonely desert night set in with its dead silence, was one in which Cameron’s mind was thronged with memories of a time long past – of a home back in Peoria, of a woman he had wronged and lost, and loved too late. He was a prospector for gold, a hunter of solitude, a lover of the drear, rock-ribbed infinitude, because he wanted to be alone to remember. A sound disturbed Cameron’s reflections. He bent his head listening. A soft wind fanned the paling embers, blew sparks and white ashes and thin smoke away into the enshrouding circle of blackness. His burro did not appear to be moving about. The quiet split to the cry of a coyote. It rose strange, wild, mournful – not the howl of a prowling upland beast baying the campfire or barking at a lonely prospector, but the wail of a wolf, full-voiced, crying out the meaning of the desert and the night…
