My time is from 3-4 CDT that’s 2-3 p.m. MDT, but the party continues through October 30th Click here to join the party on October 29st: I’ll see you there!
How I decide what to read next. I’m very eclectic about my choices, depends on my mood, the season, and the weather. If it’s the holidays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years, those are the books I want to read. A spooky but not to scary, yep, I’m a wimp, story for Halloween. Cheerful, heartwarming stories for Thanksgiving and Christmas. New beginning for New Year. Then, I’ll take a look at all the covers, then the blurbs and decide what to read. Of course I have my review list and that comes first in the order I received them. Even then sometimes, depending on the due date, I’ll let a cover or blurb sway me. LOL So there you have it, how I decide what to read next. I just finished is A Switch in TIme and am starting Ghost Machine.

A sneak peek between the pages of Hidden Gypsy Magic:
Discover the consequences of awakening hidden Gypsy magic!
“It feels like all the air is being sucked out of this room.” His brother’s face turned ashen white as Beth’s ghostly form took shape in the center of the room.
Brock moved to the little group gathered and glanced at the grandfather clock standing in the hallway. Fifteen minutes until midnight. The witching hour on All Hallows Eve. A nervous chuckle rose up in his throat. How cliche. His brother would be a believer after this night.
He cleared his throat and wrapped an arm around Gwen’s waist. “Can we help you, Beth?” Misfit’s howling could be heard clearly from the upstairs bedroom.
“No, but I hope we can help you.” Ghost Beth glanced back at the painting and sadly shook her head. “The ghost of Judge John Hathorne stands outside ready to curse or worse all those involved in sullying his reputation. The house stands between all of you…protecting—” The ghost’s hand and arm made a sweeping motion toward their group, “— against his magic ability.”
A soft almost hysterical giggle burst from Gwen. “Doesn’t he know that by his actions this night, he has not only outed himself but proved the rumors and article are true?”
“I don’t believe he’s considered that point.” Beth’s ghostly grim face twitched into a half-smile. “He’s bent on revenge, but apparently had trouble passing through the veil this evening.” She pointed to the clock and then laid a finger on her lips.
Thanks for popping in. I really appreciate it. Next week, November 4, 2020, can you believe it? Thanksgiving is nearly here. Anyway, next week’s blogging challenge topic is Favorite Songs or Musicians. That should be interesting. Until then have fun, stay safe, and never let the world get you down!

Share the magic, mystery, time-travel adventure Pre-Order your digital copy from Amazon at a special discounted price for only $3.99, limited time!

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?”

Topics I Never Get Tired of Talking About -#LSRs Wed Blog Challenge
Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge September 9, 2020, Topics I never get tired of talking about! Oh this is a dangerous one and I could go on forever. But I won’t. 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 is the changing landscape of the publishing industry. It’s kinda like the Colorado weather. Just wait a few minutes and it’ll change. Same for promotions. What works today, may not work tomorrow or months from today.
Next. My dog and training. We’ve gone to great lengths to make sure she is well behaved. She got her CGC (Caine Good Citizenship) certification at 13 months old. She enjoyed Agility and Obedience classes. Now that she is older (Turned 8 years old in August) she is retired from classes but she still enjoys a good romp through the agility course set up in our backyard.
Another one of the topics I never get tired of talking about, 
our Eclectus Parrot. She’s twenty-two years old and is a hoot. She has a large vocabulary and uses most phrases appropriately. She roller skates, plays basketball and loves her sunroom. I am a full time writer and my day ends at 4:00 p.m., on the dot. Which is the time she starts calling to be let out of her cage and into the sunroom for one on one time. She and the dog are great friends. I swear they conspire to take over the world on a daily basis. Luckily, that hasn’t happened yet. LOL
Camping is also a favorite topic. Nothing like getting away to a mountain destination and relaxing among the pine and aspen trees to watch the wild life. We have traveled over three-quarters of the US in our RV, with our dog, parrot, and fifty-year-old box turtle. Love national and state parks, as well as seeing different parts of the country. We haven’t made it to the north east yet, but it’s on the list. Salem over Halloween week is a must! LOL
So there you have it some of the topics I never get tired of talking about. How about you? What topics do you never tire of talking about?
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 nicely) AND a new project is simmering Wylder West Assignment. Keep an eye out for more information. Now let’s see what topics do others never tire of talking about. 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.
