Blurb:

I should be on Island Time right now.

They say no man is an island.

Well, let me tell you something. I was born for island living.

I like to drink, smoke my cigars, and sleep under my favorite hat.

That’s my idea of a good time.

Island living isn’t for everyone, especially the guys at OPS.

You would think as former military that I would fit right in.

But unlike them, I don’t take great pleasure in rescuing the girl, taking out baddies, or saving the world.

That’s not what Island Time is about.

All I need is a woman in my bed and a drink in my hand.

I just didn’t realize what I was getting myself into when I brought this particular woman home.

Fista…Whista? Nah, that’s not right. I’ll remember her name one of these days.

Names aren’t really important.

But her scent…I would go to church if it meant knowing what that amazing smell was.

Granted, I’d probably turn to ash the moment I stepped through the doors, but it was a risk I was willing to take.

For her.

Just as long as I still get my Island Time. 

A man doesn’t change overnight, and there’s no way I’m up island living for a woman. Not even if she said she doesn’t want me anymore.

How much longer can I hold out?

It’s been five days …And A Wake-Up.

Author Bio:

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Blurb:

Whose idea was it to pair my happy-go-lucky neighbor with me? Someone is going to regret that decision.

Being voluntold to participate in a planning committee for the Spring Bloom Festival was the last thing I wanted.

Walking in to find out my “there’s always a brightside” neighbor is also on the committee, my worst nightmare.

He is sunshine. I am thunder.

And after my not so graceful entry into his life, he’s someone I avoid at all costs. Except the committee leaders decided to pair us together.

I love Whoopsie Daisy more than anything and would do anything for my business and friends, but why does it have to be this?

So much for staying away from him. Fighting his charm has never been more crucial. Especially with the reputation of the shop on the line.

Excerpt: 

A hand waves in front of my face, and I jump back. The sander going forward. It’s a quick release so as soon as my hand leaves the handle, it turns off. That doesn’t keep it from almost hitting my neighbor. She turns out of the way before it would have hit her.

“What in the hell are you doing?” She holds her hands to her chest. “I could have died.”

“Not likely. Have a hellacious bruise…maybe.” The reddening of her cheeks and glare in my direction is all the proof I need to know I should have kept my mouth shut. “What are you doing here anyway?”

She huffs and straightens her shirt. “I was coming over to see if you could keep the noise down. I can’t hear my TV over the constant buzzing sound.”

How the hell did she hear it? I mean I know we’re neighbors, but our houses aren’t that close together. Plus, I’m in my garage. “You didn’t think to knock, or make some sort of noise? One of us could have gotten seriously hurt.”

I can practically see the steam rising from her. “You don’t think I did that? I knocked on the wall. I yelled your name like five times.” She points to the opening of my garage. “When that didn’t work, I did the only other thing I thought might. Hence me waving my hand in front of your face since nothing else was getting your attention.”

Oh. I kind of feel like an ass now that she explains what happens. “Sorry.”

“For being loud? Or, almost taking me out with a power tool?” Samantha crosses her arms over her chest and taps her foot. If I wasn’t scared she might attack me, I’d tell her the pose is adorable. But I value my life.

“Both?” I’m not sure how to answer that. Honestly, I didn’t think I was being that loud.

“You don’t sound too sure about that.” Her stance has relaxed so I feel a bit better about proceeding.

“No, I am sorry for both. I was trying to get this piece finished for the park, but the wood messed up and I had to start over again. It’s due to be unveiled this weekend, so now I’m in a time crunch.”

She doesn’t look impressed with my explanation, but doesn’t really say anything either.

“I have shoots for the rest of the week. I’ll try to work on the project during the day while at work.” I pause for a second, “but if I have to work on it in the evening, what’s the latest time that’s good for you?”

Yes, I’m giving in. But we live in a community and I don’t want to be the one who causes problems. I’m the newest person to move in and rocking the boat isn’t what I want to do.

Samantha taps her finger against her chin, thinking about it far harder than it needs to be. “Is eight too early?”

In all honesty, it’s not, but I’ve seen when she turns off the lights in her house. She’s a night owl like me. It’s surprising she’s the only one on our block complaining about the noise. Nobody else has said a word to me.
“Not at all.” I’m about to press my luck and I don’t care. “Are there any nights I can work late?”

She rolls her eyes, annoyed with the question. “Sure, I actually have girls night tomorrow and don’t get home until late. Knock yourself out.”

She turns and walks out of my garage without another word. That is probably the strangest interaction I’ve had with her. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she had a rough day and needed the quiet time tonight. It’s odd because she’s never come over here before and this isn’t the first time I’ve worked on a project late at night. Though, it’s barely nine, so it’s not really that late.

Cleaning up looks to be the only thing I can do for the rest of the night. Maybe I should call it an early night and go to bed. My shoot tomorrow is likely to be long and exhausting.

Blitz: Field Mouse Fairy Lights by Emma Brown, illustrated by Sally Stephens

 

 

Field Mouse Fairy Lights

by Emma Brown

Illustrated by Sally Stephens

Children's Book / Healthy Eating / Parenting

Date Published: 2/13/2024

 

Does your child refuse to try new foods?

Do they go off foods they used to like?

They don’t want to help with meal prep?

They become impossible at mealtimes and say they don’t like it before seeing it.

Why are dinosaur-shaped nuggets so popular? They taste just the same as normal nuggets, but they are shaped for fun.

 

If you put a sticker of your child’s favorite cartoon character on an apple, they will want that apple, not the identical one next to it.

 

What if there was a fun game to play at mealtimes that also helps with picky eating?

 

This book gives you just that. Imagine if you stood in the middle of the kitchen and said in a funny voice, “I think Kiwi fruit looks like troll boulders, and they’re all mine,” or “Brussels Sprouts look like cannon balls, so tonight we’re eating like pirates,” or “This rice looks just like snowflakes, can you sprinkle the snowflakes on that plate for me?” Do you think you’d have your child’s attention and possibly get a giggle?

 

Children have amazing imaginations, so let’s use them to reduce the stress around mealtimes and create a play environment.

 

Written by a Nutritionist and mum of two who has helped many children overcome picky eating and families reconnect at mealtimes, this little book takes you into a food fairytale. It encourages children and adults to come up with their ideas of what food looks like to them.
