15 Seconds of Sweetness

March 30, 2023

I spent yesterday rearranging my studio. I mean, not just the stuff in the studio, but I changed rooms with the cats. Yes, they have their own room with their litter and the rest is a bunch of stuff that needs to go somewhere. At least it looks lived-in and not just a litter box.

And then I started working on one of my novels. Finally. I was hoping if I changed up my space, I might feel motivated to get back to writing. So far, so good.

So, then, after my brief writing bout, I scrolled through my videos on my iPhone, and the one with Daisy when she was just a kitten when we were living in Florida the second (or third) time around, caught my eye. Then I thought about what music would be a good match for a 15-second remix and I was reminded of my “Curious” track for FAWM23. Perfect, right?

It’s getting a healthy number of views on YouTube so that made me happy. I looked to see how it was doing on “T” and – I couldn’t believe this – it was marked as “sensitive content.” Seriously? There was a link to appeal it, which I clicked right away. Okay, let’s see what happens next.

So what is “sensitive content?” T says this warning label is for “potentially sensitive content . . . such as violence or nudity.” Uh, no, none of that is in this video. See for yourself – Curious Kitty. 15 seconds of sweetness.

PS – Twitter has admitted it was marked “sensitive content” in error.

“Lucky’s Last Chance” #Shorts #Clip #YouTube (“Take A Chance On This”)

March 14, 2023 — 1 Comment

Okay, so the YouTube clip I mentioned in yesterday’s post climbed to over 1200 views – so cool to share my kitty video and Wolf Kier’s music.

So today I could resist clipping another one of my favorite Wolf Kier songs (“Take A Chance On This”) paired with my novel “Lucky’s Last Chance.” Perfect, right?

Hope you enjoy the clip. And I wouldn’t mind if you checked out my book, too. Btw, this book was originally published as “The Tom Jones Club,” but when I got the rights back, I changed the title to Lucky’s Last Chance.

You can hear the entire song here. Doesn’t that voice inspire a leading man for your next romance novel? I know it does for me. 🙂

Calling All Romance Writers #WolfCall

March 13, 2023

One of my favorite songs is “Do You Come Here Often” by Wolf Kier. He’s talking about us – romance writers – lol! Check it out here (the lyrics are in the description).

So, of course, I had to do one of those clips:

“French Martini,” New Title, Available Now

March 8, 2023 — 5 Comments

As some of you know, during FAWM (February Album Writing Month), I did some audio excerpts for some of my novels/short stories. And I asked people if the then titled “Deja Vu at the Blue Diamond (Saloon)” should be retitled “French Martini” and the response was overwhelmingly yes.

Unfortunately, Amazon doesn’t allow retitling of books anymore so I had to create a new book called “French Martini” and unpublish “Deja vu.”

So, here it is, the brand-new French Martini Romantic Suspense.

Nikki Durrance escaped the worst nightmare of her life when she fled Las Vegas for San Francisco, leaving her husband behind at the Blue Diamond Saloon to build a new life. So when the perfect Dr. Mike Fischer proposes, she accepts. But when her new Mr. Right begins to transform into a guy just like her ex-husband, she begins to question everything, including her sanity.

Nikki longs to trust Mike, but with an overwhelming feeling of déjà vu, Nikki’s fear propels her into discoveries of betrayals and underworld connections that will send her running for her life again.

BUY NOW on Kindle.

And, in case you missed it, here’s the audio excerpt (with Screamie Birds music) on YouTube or on the Amazon book page.

Playing Hooky at The Shack, Florida Tiki Bar

March 7, 2023

Maybe it’s spring fever or just my longing to re-create my life in Tampa Bay when we moved to Florida the first time around, but I’m kinda playing hooky this week, laying out by the pool, Tiki Bar time, and Disney World! Counting down to our next cruise! It certainly helps with any West Coast homesickness.

You can check out the Tiki Bar video here.

Well, I am having just too much fun making these audio excerpts (thinking of doing a whole book) with my own background music. Check out my latest for Raining Men:

If this looks good to you, I hope you’ll download a copy, tell your friends, and leave a review on Amazon. It seems this world revolves around reviews….

Thank you so much!
