Jul 19th Covered Treasures Celebrates 26 Years!

Where were you last evening? Last night I spent an enjoyable evening browsing the shelves of independent bookstore Covered Treasures in historic downtown Monument, Colorado.

I love the feel, and sounds of a historic building. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if those walls could whisper what they’ve seen?

A book store is a wonderful place. The scent of ink and paper coupled with the sound of pages being flipped in books of all genres, voices quietly chatting about the recent book they read brings back happy childhood memories. The store also has greeting cards and a interesting items like book lights, maps and cake. That’s right a delicious cake to celebrate Covered Treasures twenty-six years in business! Brick and mortar bookstores are disappearing at a scary rate, so it warms the cockles of my heart to walk into this bookstore, pick up a book, leaf through the pages, and soak in the atmosphere.

Walking in the Covered Treasure, you’re immediately welcomed by the friendly, knowledgeable staff. On this evening not only the cake, veggie plates, and finger sandwiches brought me in, but one of my all-time favorite cozy mystery authors, NANCY ATHERTON, was signing her Aunt Dimity books and visiting with patrons. In a warm, cozy, and unhurried place, an enjoyable, fun experience was had by all.

Oh, one more thing, I am so excited! You can now find my print books residing on Covered Treasures book shelves. Want a signed copy? I’d be happy to make that happen. Stop by 105 Second Street, Monument, CO and pick up A DEMON’S WITCH, A WITCH’S JOURNEY or A MAGIC REDEMPTION to name few for summer reading around the campfire or at the beach. Leave your ordinary world behind and be swept into a magical, romantic fantasy adventure you’ll never want to leave. Remember the magic for happily ever after!

Mar 20th Characters #L&SR #WednesdayBlogChallenge 3.20.19

Today’s prompt is Characters I want to meet.

Hands down the first character would be Matthew Clairmont in the Discovery of Witches – All Souls Trilogy. If you’ve not read these books I highly recommend them. They have also been made into a TV series that I love!

Matthew is the vampire that watches Diana Bishop, a witch in the Bodleian Library in Oxford University after hearing rumors she had called out a particular bewitched manuscript at Mabon.

He studies genetics, a subject I’ve always been interested in. My question to him would be what has he discovered about the genetic basis of creatures as part of the human evolution? Also I’m dying to know if Chris Roberts has the hots for Miriam both characters from Discovery of Witches. LOL

Don’t discount Dianna Bishop the heroine, She is a strong, determined and loyal character with a great intellect. I’d love to ask her about science vs magic and her alchemy experiment with the tree of life.

I’m also a huge fan of Molly Harper and her werewolf series, How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf, How to Run with a Naked Werewolf, and The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf.

Character Mo Wenstein, heroine, is a southern transplant to Alaska where she meets Alpha Cooper Graham in How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf. She is funny, a great cook despite her hippy parents which is one of the reasons she’s in Alaska and she has a over abundance of snark. What I want to know is how does she make those chocolate chess squares? Yummy! Speaking of yummy how about that hunky werewolf, Cooper?

I could go on for hours!

Okay. twist my arm, one more would be Lori Shepard from Nancy Atherton’s Aunt Dimity Series. I’ve followed her from when she first inherited a cottage and trust from Aunt Dimity to her wedding, the birth of her children, settling in a quaint little village of Finch in England and all her adventures thereafter. I want to know how she juggles motherhood, wife to a lawyer, keeps up with the gossip in finch and still has time for wonderful adventures. LOL

These are a few of my favorite characters that I would love to meet. If you have a moment, tell me in the comments about a character you’d love to meet.
