Happy Thanksgiving.
Yes, I know I’m a few days early, but since I won’t be back for two weeks, I figure this is my chance. Hope y’all have a wonderful time with family and friends, turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, lasagna, or whatever blows your skirts up.
Personally, I’m heading out to the mountains. The Smoky Mountains National Park, to be more specific, in East Tennessee. Even more specifically, that tourist trap, Gatlinburg. We don’t have any family here in Tennessee, and the fifteen hour drive to Philadelphia is too long when the kids only have four days off school, including the weekend, so we’ve rented a cabin and plan to spend the holiday enjoying the woodburning fireplace, the view of the mountains, and - for the kids - the cable TV.
I’m not real big on TV - it comes from having grown up in a time and country where childrens programming was limited to 30 minutes a night, from 6:00 to 6:30 - so I’ll be bringing a few books. Top of the stack: our own Tasha Alexander’s “Tears of Pearl,” which I picked up when the darling girl was here in Nashville in September, but which I’ve been too busy to start. I’ve also got JD Robb’s “Kindred in Death” to go, as well as “Racing the Devil” by buddy E. Michael Terrell, and an ARC of “City of Dragons” by the wonderful Kelli Stanley. If you’re not familiar with Kelli, I dare you to check her out.
And speaking of ARCs… if anyone would like a digital copy of “A Cutthroat Business,” coming from yours truly in June - this is the non-DIY-series book, about the Nashville Realtor and Southern Belle and the hot guy on the Harley - drop me a line and I’ll send you a link. My publisher has kindly provided me with a complete PDF - cover art, typos, and all - and told me I can share it with a few friends. If you don’t mind reading on the computer, and you’d like a sneak peek, don’t be shy!
Till next time!
