#L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 2-19-2020 Types of Exercise I Enjoy. 

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 2-19-2020 Types of Exercise I Enjoy.  Wow, that’s a tough one. First of all I hate any type of exercise in a gym. I admit I’m forced to exercise in my home gym in inclement weather (Been a lot of that this year.  As I write this we have 8 inches of snow and it’s still falling. But outdoors in decent weather is a different story. Sit down, grab a hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookie. Lets get started.,

Okay here is a list of Types of Exercise I Enjoy in no particular order. 

Kayaking, The serenity of the smooth lake water, the wildlife frolicking along the banks renews your spirit.

Hiking, the beauty of nature beckons on the mountain trails with twittering birds, scurrying squirrels, and graceful deer, elk or moose. 

Biking zipping around on trails or streets in my neighborhood, wind in my hair, parrot in a specially designed back pack and dog in a trailer towed behind my bike, fun is had by all.

 White Water Rafting, now that gets the Adrenalin flowing, heart pumping, and its an exhilarating experience.

Finally, the Neighborhood Walk, many a time I’ve worked out a plot problem, or a new story is born. Maybe even an additional sub-plot I didn’t know was needed. It’s relaxing and gets your heart pumping all at the same time, depending on your pace.

Most of the activities (except white-water rafting)are with my hubby, Mystic our dog  and/or Taco our parrot.

Yep, that’s me in the background. Kayaking on Lake Powell. Hubby and Mystic in front

Can’t see me for the water but I’m the second from the front left side (orange helmet).

Hiking across the Sand Dunes, Colorado – Yeah, my shoes got wet in the river. Besides who doesn’t like the feel of warm sand between your toes?

 

Met these guys on a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I could go on and on, but the above will give you an idea of my preferences for exercise. 

Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what other authors list as Exercise They Enjoy. L&SR

A little about CHARM ME –

Summer Dawn Rylie’s an extraordinary elemental witch whose troubled past haunts her. She’s created a calm life for herself teaching yoga and keeping people at a distance. Her life takes a one eighty degree turn when she enrolls in a women’s weapons class and meets ruggedly handsome Devlin Sawyer.

Devlin, a former Navy Seal, has sworn off women after two long-term failed relationships, but there is no denying his attraction to Summer. She intrigues him like no other woman ever has. Despite her attempts to ignore him, Summer is drawn to Devlin. His magic signature is strong, but he’s no warlock. Will Valentine’s Day magic find them a future together?

Gavin Shaughnessy is the publican at his family’s Irish pub.  He is certain Synn is meant to be his and isn’t bothered by her past.  He must find a way to convince her, their future together is stronger than the dark memories that haunt her dreams.

When her past comes calling for revenge, will their love survive the raging inferno she brings down upon them? Or will the searing path of destruction destroy all they hold dear?

#L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 2-5-20 My Celebrity Crushes.

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 2-5-20 My celebrity crushes.  Wow, there are quite a few, but I’ll narrow them down. Lets get started.,

 

Okay here is a list of my celebrity crushes in no particular order.

Jason Mamoa – Aquaman – Who would like a reluctant hero who fights for what’s right? Not to mention swims and talks underwater and is the king of the realm. LOL

 

Chris Helmsworth – Thor – Oh those muscles and surfer blond hair. I love a man who swings a hammer and it returns to him.  Heir to the throne of Asgard. What more could you ask?

 

Shemar Moore – SWAT –  Here’s a man that was a model turned actor in a bad ass role. Good guys finish first in my world. Especially if they have swagger. LOL

 

Yep, I apparently have a thing for men who play righteous bad-ass roles. 

 

I could go on and on, but the above will give you an idea of my preferences.

Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what other authors list as their Celebrity Crushes. L&SR

BREAKING NEWS CHARM ME AGAIN received InD’tale Magazine Crown Heart Review – in part is read:  “This is much more than just a romance or a paranormal story.  It has witches, warlocks, ghosts and faes, each of which have their own agendas. Each character is special in their own way.  They are so well developed and described that the reader starts to wonder if this is real.  The storyline is unique in that these characters are fighting back on a century’s long curse.  The author’s writing is so descriptive that the reader feels like they are actually there during the conflicts. The chemistry between Josie and Daylan is palpable from their first meeting.  The reader is drawn into this story from the first page and stays engrossed until the last word!”

A little about CHARM ME AGAIN

For several months a Scottish Highland Ghost has haunted Daylan, in his personal life, his professional life and at his forge. Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery.

As his attraction blooms for Josie, a yoga instructor in his sister’s studio, he realizes there may be more to Josie than he can imagine. When an ancient rogue Fae Warrior set on revenge kidnaps her in an attempt to claim her as his own, a devastating curse comes to light.

Daylan’s world spirals out of control as he searches for Josie. Can he break the age old curse to save her and their future, or will she be lost to him forever?

A little about A MAGIC REDEMPTION – Even with magic, finding your place in the world proves more difficult than imagined especially when someone is out for revenge.

Synn, a demon, carries extraordinary magic and power, but there is more within her than she dreams. Kidnapped as a child, her captors murdered her family and forced her into training as a warrior assassin. When an assignment goes horribly wrong, she finds herself at the mercy of the friends and family of her intended target.  Offering valuable information in exchange for protection, she gains her freedom, but it is not without its challenges.

Gavin Shaughnessy is the publican at his family’s Irish pub.  He is certain Synn is meant to be his and isn’t bothered by her past.  He must find a way to convince her, their future together is stronger than the dark memories that haunt her dreams.

When her past comes calling for revenge, will their love survive the raging inferno she brings down upon them? Or will the searing path of destruction destroy all they hold dear?

A peek between the pages of A Magic Redemption:

Time seemed to go on forever as she slowed and walked backward for a while, her foot steps in the sand filling with water as she traveled along the shoreline, as if nature erased her intrusion. She turned around and continued her trek. Unaware of how long or how far she’d walked, the sudden outline of a figure, cloaked in the fog, jogging toward her caused panic to set in. Her heart pounded rapidly in her chest, she swallowed hard, adrenalin pumping through her veins as flight or fight response kicked in. Digging her good foot into the sand she prepared to attempt a sprint…to where. Where the hell am I? A quick glance around, she spied a light from a familiar building far off on the bluffs as the figure burst from the fog. A tall, wide-shouldered male with long muscular legs came closer. She froze.

Once lithe, strong and agile in her former life, a boss’s retaliation had taken a toll on her body. Now tired her gait was uneven and unsteady, even a slow sprint would likely end with her face planted in the sand.

 

 

Now lets take a quick peek at CHARM ME AGAIN recipient of Crownd Heart Review from InD’tale Magazine. The review said in part: “This is much more than just a romance or a paranormal story.  It has witches, warlocks, ghosts and faes, each of which have their own agendas. Each character is special in their own way.  They are so well developed and described that the reader starts to wonder if this is real.  The storyline is unique in that these characters are fighting back on a century’s long curse.  The author’s writing is so descriptive that the reader feels like they are actually there during the conflicts.
