Finding a body in the freezer of the family deli isn’t the way Madonna San Valentino planned to start her day.
Adding insult to injury, the investigating detective is the one guy she’s never been able to forget. After seven minutes of heaven in the back seat of his car when they were teenagers, Tony Roma skipped town without so much as a thanks for the memory.
Just when Madonna thinks the present situation can’t get any worse, Tony is ordered to go undercover at the deli to ferret out a killer. Forced to work together, she vows to keep their relationship cool and professional. But with the sexy, longing looks he tosses her at every turn, Madonna’s resolve is weakening.

Okay I admit to being a picky eater: I love fruits, hate most veggies, and love italian. Strange food is not my forte. However in my younger days, I was tricked into eating a few odd items.
Beef Tongue
Beef tongue. Suppose to be a delicacy. That is a downright lie. It was like chewing on old shoe leather. Yuck!
Bulgogi
During the years I studied Taekwondo, I tasted a few different oriental foods. Some I enjoyed like Bulgogi. I have the recipe and make it on a regular basis.
But Octopus I just couldn’t get past my tongue. The texture was just to weird for my palate. <shivers>
So give me good old pizza and I’m a happy camper!
So there you have it the strangest things I’ve eaten . How about you? Eaten any strange things?

A sneak peek at Hidden Gypsy Magic:
Discover the consequences of awakening hidden Gypsy magic!
The Salem Wildlife Sanctuary is Gwen Taylor’s life work. Her Irish Gypsy heritage provides a hidden talent she uses to help the creatures under her care. But even her magical skills can’t help new rescues in dire need of veterinary care.
The opportunity of signing on as the vet for Gwen’s sanctuary dropped into Brock Scutter’s lap after he expanded his practice to include wildlife. The personal attraction he and Gwen experience is undeniable the more their professional and personal lives collide.
Touring the only “non-haunted” house in Salem they both feel a spark of magic. A trip to his family’s cabin uncovers a heritage he didn’t know existed. If they want a future together, it means facing the consequences of awakening hidden Gypsy magic and a race against the clock to correct past wrongs.

Favorite Book or Movie Quotes – #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge
Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge August 19, 2020, favorite book or movie quotes (and why) ! Well now that’s interesting. Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie.
Okay which one to start with book quotes or movie quotes: Book Quotes:
My friends and family are always asking me if I’m lost. I’m not, just listening to the characters in my head play out the next chapter in my WIP. LOL So naturally the quote, “Not all those who wander are lost.”
The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkein
This poem was written about Aragorn, a humble human king who undertakes great journeys and explorations. It is used twice in ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’, once by Gandalf in a letter to Frodo and later by Bilbo, and is an attempt to persuade Frodo of Aragorn’s importance to Middle Earth. It is also an exhortation to the reader to see beyond his own value systems.
This is one of my mantras. Goes with you can be anything you want to be as long as you are willing to work hard to get it. (Yep my mom said that. But also said writing was not a way to making a living.) “It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.”
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J.K. Rowling
Another book written for children but loved by adults. This is a comment made by Professor Albus Dumbledore to Cornelius Fudge. Cornelius has expressed the opinion that ‘Muggles’ and ‘Mudbloods’ (humans and half-humans) are inferior to wizards and witches. Albus responds by asserting that it is not pedigree that matters but talent.
“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting”
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
My darling Eve.
Roark from JD Robb In Death Series. Seems each time he says this either he is in trouble or she is and I have to laugh at the situation.
Movie Quotes:
“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” – Gone With the Wind, 1939 – Now admit it everyone loves this!
“Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” – The Wizard of Oz, 1939
Fun fact: As one of the most famous movie quotes in film history, this line has been parodied by many different movies and television shows.
“May the Force be with you.” – Star Wars, 1977 – I’m a huge Star Wars fan, so of course this is one of my favorites. LOL
“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.” – Cool Hand Luke, 1967 – My hubby uses this all the time. When in fact, it’s really his failure to communicate. LOL
“I’ll be back.” – The Terminator, 1984 – I love this one.
“I feel the need – the need for speed!” – Top Gun, 1986 – Loved this movie and can’t wait for the new one in December 2020 (maybe)
So there you have it Favorite book or movie quotes (and why) . How about you? Got favorite book or movie quotes?

L&SR’s Wed Blog Challenge – What I Wanted To Do When I Grew Up vs. What I Do
Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge August 12, 2020, What I wanted to do when I grew up vs. what I do! Well now that’s interesting. I am doing exactly what I always wanted to do, but it was a long and winding road to get here. Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie.
For the last five years I’ve been a full time author with twelve books published since 2015, when I decided to try living my dream. The road to get here was rocky to say the least. I spent eight years as a savings and loan employee starting at telling and working my way up to assistance branch manager. But the challenge was never there. I did enjoy the customer contact.
So I returned to school to get a paralegal degree. Meanwhile for two years I worked nights as a radio DJ at a top local rock station. Now that was fun, met a lot of my favorite bands and entertainers.
Spent the next eleven years working as a paralegal for a criminal law firm. In the beginning it was challenging and exciting but as the crimes got more violent and frequent, I bailed. Seeing our clients out on bond during my off time and when I was with my elderly mother cemented my decision to move on.The encounters were scary to say the least.
The next fourteen years were spent as an Office and IT manager for an electric contracting firm. While I did enjoy the job, management and ownership changes affected the Mission of the company. Employees became just a means to get the job done, not appreciated as previously. Eventually I was downsized. I decided then and there, no more working for someone else. My husband and I talked it over and he fully supported me giving my dream of becoming a published author a shot and we never looked back!
So there you have it what I wanted to do when I grew up vs. what I do. How about you? What did you want to do when you grew up vs. what you’re doing?
Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom preparing promo on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC I will be releasing the cover and release date soon. Stay tuned! Chocolate Raspberry Magic is in final galley now release date been extended until April 2021. And working on a new WIP sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series(very exciting and coming along very well) AND a new project is simmering Wylder West Assignment. Keep an eye out for more information.
