A little about 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.
A sneak peek between the pages of Hidden Gypsy Magic: The hook.
He waved a hand toward the beach behind the cabin. “Our land stretches from where we turned onto the gravel road, all the way to the beach and several acres in both directions.” Spreading his arms wide, he motioned from side to side. “We can take a hike after we get settled.”
“I’d like that.” She jumped off the running board and opened the back door to the pickup tugging out her bag.
“Let me get that.” He rushed around the front of the truck.
Stubbornly she held onto the bag. “I’ve got it. You get yours and the door. We’ll have to come back out for the rest of the stuff.” She grinned up at him. “Since you do have the key.”
Suitcase in hand, he stopped to finger one of the gas lanterns, then sprinted to the door and opened it. Inside a little fire burned merrily in the fireplace, not a speck of dust in sight. The kitchen table was set for two and the aroma of lobster stew wafted through the air. “What the heck?”
Peering over his shoulder, Gwen gasped. “Someone expecting you?”
“Not that I know of. It’s been a couple of months since anyone has been here.” A warm feeling of family he remembered from childhood enveloped him as he closed the door behind Gwen. The polished golden oak floors shone as if Molly’s kids hadn’t been the last to tramp through here. Not that Molly wouldn’t have cleaned up after them, three boys, but…
Gwen put her bag on the floor and glanced around. “Who takes care of the cabin when no one is here?”
“Nobody as far as I know.” He made a mental note to call Molly and ask her. The door stood wide open a gentle breeze wafted through the cabin.
Gwen put her hand on her hips. “Someone does. It doesn’t magically stay this spotless. And who went to all this trouble to fix a delicious meal”

Topics that Make Me Stop Reading a Book
Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge September 2, 2020, Topics that make me stop reading a book! 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.
FIrst thing that comes to mind was several years ago, but remains in my mind for several reasons. The book is Elfstone of Shannara by Terry Brooks. I’d read everything from Terry Brooks, not necessarily in order (one of my quirks). It was approximately two in the morning, yep, one of those book you can’t put down until… I got to the part where he killed of this adorable fuzzy creature. I was so angry, I threw the book across the room, it hit the wall with a bang, and my husband jumped out of the bed and yelled “What’s going on?” I relayed the events preceding the book’s flight across the room. His words I won’t repeat here, but he was less than impressed. But he has never let me forget that. I didn’t pick up the book for a week and have never read another Terry Brooks. So if the author kills off animals, I’ll never read or finish the book.
Next would be deceit and cheating in a romance book. I don’t like those elements in life and certainly not in a book I read for entertainment.
Last – Cliffhangers – If I read a book no matter how good it is if it ends on a cliffhanger, odds are that I won’t pick up a book from that author again. There have been a few exceptions (warned of a cliffhanger and decided to read it anyway) these are few and far between.
So there you have it topics that make me stop reading a book. How about you? What topic makes you stop reading a book?
Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom preparing promo on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC September 28, 2020 . Stay tuned! Chocolate Raspberry Magic release date been extended until April 2021. And I’m 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. Now let’s see what topics make other others stop reading a book. L&SR

“This house may not have a history of magic, but I’d bet it’s magical. You’re going to put an offer in. Right?” Gwen glanced up at him and hope sparkled in her eyes.
“As I said before, it may be completely out of my price range.” Brock stared wistfully at the home.
“I have a feeling the house has been waiting for you.” Gwen flung her hand to her mouth, her face flushed, and her gaze swiveled to him. “I don’t know what made me say that.”
Looking thoughtful, he grinned. “Since the day I stumbled upon your friend Pepper’s secret — then discovered that you and I share the gift or curse of gypsy blood, things have been different—” Pausing, he shoved his hand in his jean’s pocket and jingled the change in his pocket. “I’ve been different. It’s as if knowing magic exists awakened something in me.”
“Join the club. Years ago Pepper made a believer out of me. In fact, there were times I wished—never mind. Whether it was my outlook or as you said magic awakened. But to be fair, I’ve always had what I called a sixth sense with animals, attuned to their feelings, almost their thoughts, fears, that kind of thing. Pepper called it my talent. But as we became close, I noticed other abilities… you’ll think I’m crazy.”
“Try me.” He moved closer to her and the front door banged open. Quickly he rushed to the top of the stairs.

The strangest things I’ve eaten – #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge
Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge August 26, 2020, The strangest things I’ve eaten! 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 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?
Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom preparing promo on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC September 28, 2020 . 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. Now let’s see what other authors wanted to do when whey grew up vs what the do. L&SR
