Hey folks,I hope you are enjoying this beautiful Memorial Day! Before the BBQ-ing, the lazy day at the pool, and the homemade ice cream (yum!), I want to take a minute to think about the reason for Memorial Day- bless the veterans and current military ( and those who gave their lives) so we can have the rights & freedoms we have!
Friday, The Book Wheel wrote an excellent post about the Amazon vs Hachette issue- to sum it up, Amazon and Hachette are having a re-negotiation issue and right now the Hachette authors are suffering.

Stranger on the Shore by Josh Lanyon
Twenty years ago, little Brian Arlington was kidnapped from his family’s Long Island estate and was never seen again. The trail went cold, but investigative journalist Griff Hadley has always thought there was more to the story—much more. When the Arlingtons‘ patriarch invites him to stay at their estate to research his true crime book, Griff can’t say no. It’s the story of a lifetime.
But not everyone is happy about Griff’s presence. Relatives and staff alike regard him coldly, including Pierce Mather, the Arlingtons‘ attractive lawyer, who is more than a little wary of Griff’s motives.
When a stranger shows up claiming to be the long-lost Brian, Griff and Pierce are united in their suspicions. Startled to have found an ally in the buttoned-up lawyer, Griff soon realizes it’s hard to keep a professional distance. Even in the midst of a groundbreaking investigation, even in the face of a shocking family secret…
This was me back in February. Between the days of cold (the bitter cold, days of getting to 19 degrees!) I was not happy. My mind was longing fun a fun and summery day and the only thing keeping me sane was knowing that Summer Reading (Or Beach Reads as I like to think of it) was getting closer. So I waited. And I plotted my reading list. And now for you, the readers of Traveling With T, I am happy to show off the list!
Let me set the scene: A big bus, loaded with authors of steamy romance books. Ladies who have spent significant amounts of time on various “best selling” lists. Ladies who have found their niche and have fan bases that are extremely supportive. The bus tagline says: “7 Cities, 10 Authors, 1 Wild Ride” (a very appropriate tagline!
All the authors sitting and hanging out, lovely snacks and drinks to enjoy while we were listening to the authors talk about what it was like to be on best selling lists, what writing steamy scenes is really like, and how they use social media.
