The Homecoming

Seth Sileski was the pride and joy of Thunder Point back when he was a football legend. Then one mistake, one accident- changed all that. Took Seth’s football playing days away- made him have to really look life in the face and do some changing.

Seth is happy with life now. He’s working in the police department in Thunder Point- and determined to show his dad, the town on Thunder Point….. and most especially- a young lady that he has changed. He’s not the same person he was years ago. Life may not be what he pictured; but it’s definitely not bad. Continue reading →

Tuesday Mashup

Just the other day- I squealed like a girl when I was checking out my Bloglovin’ feed. Seriously. Squealed like a girl and possibly did a happy dance. Why? The great links I was seeing! Not that my feed isn’t usually filled with great links (it is, it is!) But because I was excited to really try hard to commit back to my Mashup posts (because- life had totes gotten in the way!) So, it’s looking nice today for a mashup- we’ve got scarfy week, clothespin clips for organization, a bloggy anniversary (with a kick-butt giveaway) and the beginning details on a September event that is going to be absolutely fabulous!

Book Spotlight: THE VILLA by Rosanna Ley

Hello, darlings! When RockstarPR contacted Traveling With T a couple of weeks about THE VILLA, I was instantly drawn to the cover (to me, it looks like those watercolor pictures you see at vacation spots- so soothing. So pretty. So wonderful!) Intrigued by the cover, I took a quick look at my TBR pile and knew the odds of fitting this book in was like nil. Non-existent. Not going to happen. And yet… the cover kept calling to me. Well, because the folks at RockstarPR are well… rockstars- they had the option for a book spotlight- and I was all “Boom! Signed up!” Continue reading →

The breathy voice. Oozing sex appeal from every pore. These are the images that are called to mind when many people think of Marilyn Monroe.
