IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!! That’s right everyone! CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!!! If you were to show me a Hallmark Original Christmas movie in June, I would kick you to the curb. But show me one of those wonderful heartwarming gems in July, and I am grabbing the popcorn and settling in under a warm fuzzy blanket (even though it’s hot out). I watched four Hallmark Original movies this weekend and it felt great. Yes, I have seen them already at least two times, but they are still fun to watch. I couldn’t help but have a calming weekend. I spent most of it trimming the lavender in my garden, a total of  twenty plants, that’s a very pleasant chore for sure. I picked up a new variety yesterday called Meerlo. It’s from the Sunset Garden collection, and it has yellow and light green variegated leaves. CRAZY!! WHO ARE YOU?? I have no idea were to put it. I might have to find a spot for it in the front yard. My FINISHED front yard!!! When the sun comes out, I will take pictures and post them for you. In the meantime, here is a picture of Meerlo.

Only one thing keeps an ancient evil at bay. And now that thing is gone…

Through the power of the Prison Stone, the summoners succeeded in banishing the Dark Lord from the Universe. Lost for a thousand years, the Stone has once more been found…

The life of a gentle haffolk is thrown into chaos when he is chosen to carry the Stone from one dwarf world to another. But when the Stone is stolen, his every hope is dashed…

An angry prince, humiliated by this father the king, raises his hammer over the Stone, intent on releasing the ultimate power — a power that will prove his father wrong, a power that will raise him to the place of honor he deserves, a power that will mean the doom of every living thing…

The Prison Stone is the first book in the Red Horn Saga, an epic fantasy that skillfully blends high fantasy, steampunk, Cthulu, and space opera. The magic is unpredictable, the spaceships run on coal, and no power known to dwarf, elf, or man can stop the carnage. Only a hero small enough can save us now.

Genre: Humor & Satire | Literature & Fiction | Women’s Fiction

FREE for a limited time

Gabby Mays wishes she had her future figured out, like her gorgeous roommate Anna-Marie, who has just landed a role on the hit soap opera Passion Medical. Gabby would give anything to find a career she’s half as passionate about as Anna-Marie is about acting — and a love life that isn’t comprised of nights with a party-sized bag of Doritos and her Netflix account.

When Gabby becomes a recurring extra on Passion Medical, she finds a job she’s surprisingly great at. Even better, her old crush and ex-boss — the sexy, sweet Will Bowen — is writing the scripts, allowing Gabby lots of quality flirting time at the craft services table.

But between feuding divas, fake Emmys, and Gabby’s growing concern that Will might not see her as anything more than a friend, her life on set is quickly becoming a drama worthy of the soaps.

The Extra is a full-length, standalone romantic comedy with PG-13 rated content , no cliffhanger, and a swoon-worthy happily-ever-after.
