First of December… Time to Read Holiday Themed Books

HALLMARK HOLIDAY MOVIES in BOOK form… 

Melissa Bennette, a young beautiful woman who has tragically lost her parents in a devastating plane crash, is set to spend another Christmas holiday alone until one night as she gazes into the dressed up holiday windows of New York City and her path crosses with the gorgeous man of her dreams. 

Evan Duke is the world's top male model, dreamed about and wanted by women everywhere, but he only has eyes for her. 

This holiday season tale of twists, turns and surprises stretches from twinkling lights of New York to the sun drenched beaches of Santa Monica to the art world of Paris. With each destination, the layers of their lives and closely held secrets fall away as a beautiful love grows out of the weeds of self doubt and heartbreak.

Nick Granger, an entertainment attorney, immersed himself in work logging ridiculous hours and avoiding a social life. The only connection he cared to make was with a certain ski bunny he met on a Christmas break trip years ago. 

Victoria Davine, once on the road to the advertisement world, found herself traveling a different path after life intervened. Content with her new direction, she finds herself decorating and improving other people's lives while pushing her own desires aside.

When unexpected guests announce their plans to invade for the holidays, Nick must cancel his yearly ski trip and quickly trim his apartment for Christmas. Lacking the time or talent to make his place look homey and inviting, his enthusiastic assistant hires St Davine Interiors to save her boss. And once she meets the owner, Victoria, she thinks maybe she is exactly the divine angel Nick needs to bring him back to the land of the living.

THIS ONE ACTUALLY BEGINS ON NEW YEARS EVER…

Gianna Marinelli, an Italian in America, just wanted a new independent life as an interior designer

Ashton Tate, the owner of Tate & Sons Construction, just wanted time to create his own designs

Winning spots on a reality design show--Get It Right...get your own design show--has Gianna and Ashton competing against each other but maybe they don't understand the whole premise... 

Is it wrong to fall in love with your competition? 

Are you supposed to hate your fellow competitor?

Did Someone Say Small Pool… Spa-Like

Inspiration is soon to be a reality… I have been wanting a Tiny Pool in our back garden… soooo, I gathered photos and drew up plans to work with a pool architect and subcontractors with the help of the guy that brought my house remodel plans to life almost 20 years ago… These images gave me lots of inspiration… and I also talked about this pool idea in the last book I published in May 2024: Garden of Lust…

Stay Tuned for Groundbreaking work…

Very Excited!!!

Just Reading

Lately, I’ve spending my days drinking coffee, exercising, being with my family and reading a LOT of books… hope all is well with everyone…

Never Forget… Never Forgotten

No words… heartache… I will always remember September 11, 2001…

 

NEVER FORGET

 

Garden of Lust is LIVE

Sooooo EXCITING… Release Day for Garden of Lust… grab a copy and enjoy a FUN and magical story you will be enchanted with… links below…

 

All my life I have received or been read my horoscope compliments of Madame Jezebel. This one arrived circled with a big green heart and decorated with bright leaves...

 

The New Moon lights up your social life.  A stranger may appeal to your sense of longing and you could be inspired to plant new roots. Regardless, your interest will be inspirational. Follow your feelings when the Moon conjoins Neptune. Use your intuition and have a great time cultivating new blooms. Shine with happiness before the Full Moon. You might even find yourself caring for a garden of lust. Enjoy an energetic glow. 

 

I was never quite sure what they meant.  

This one wasn't any different.

But I had never seen one jazzed up.

 

A heart... A stranger... Garden of Lust... 

Did it mean that love was finally coming my way?

For some reason it didn't seem promising.

Starting on a New Moon and ending on a Full Moon.

Then I noticed small words circled in red... Do NOT fall in love.

Met Gala…Where was the GARDEN theme?

May… May flowers… May release of my Garden of Lust book… and the Met Gala (that was fictional attended by two of my fictional couples)… I have to say that the Met Gala fashions were a bit disappointing… it had a GREAT garden backdrop for AMAZING garden and nature fashions… not what was presented enough… I have a few in this post that I loved though they were NOT exactly what you would see in a garden… not enough vibrant goodness…

This video is how I feel the Met Gala should have been or why I feel so much disappointment…

And here are my picks for the event and most had garden elements BUT nothing really vibrant and fun and exciting… my favorite dress was BEIGE… I have nothing growing beige in my garden…

I expected to see more dresses like this…

But they were subdue like these…

My Magnolia Bellesol character of Garden of Lust would have fit in with her green dress…
