It's my birthday today and I'm *mumble mumble* - actually, I decided a couple of years ago just to remain in my mid-thirties. Apparently a recent study showed that people's attitudes regarding their age really did have an impact on their bodies. So those who thought they were young, actually had 'young' bodies (and better health) while those who felt old, had more of the age-related ailments... hmmm. Might be a load of bunk but I'm sticking with the plan to be mid-thirties for many years yet! What do you think--is age is a state of mind? ;)
Anyway, having enjoyed breakfast in bed thanks to the hubster, I've just packed the kids off to school for the day and then I'm going to go do a few errands at the shops (this may or may not include browsing for a new top!). After that I'm going meet my hubby for lunch in town, then after school its the usual ferry-the-kids-to-all-the-activities... so we're postponing the official 'birthday dinner' until tomorrow.
I have a book I'm going to relax with for that last hour or so after lunch and before the kids get home, and I'm very much looking forward to that - and I thought you might like a book to read too!
So here's a birthday present for all you guys--you can go and grab BARGAIN IN BRONZE the first of my FLIRTING TO WIN novellas for free from Amazon right now (and remember, you don't need a Kindle to read it, you can download the free app for your computer, tablet or smartphone). Grab it here.
For our Caturday pleasure, I thought I'd round up a list of Lovecat free reads. I love free stuff. =)
First we have Nikki Logan's entire book, Their Newborn Gift, available at www.everyonesreading.com. And while you're there, have a look at the other 10 category books for free, including fellow downunders, Kelly Hunter's Sexy Sensation, Exposed: Misbehaving With The Magnate (I *loved* this book) and Carol Marinelli's Medical, Emergency: Wife Lost And Found (which I haven't read, but Carol is fabulous!). Here's the blurb for Nikki's Their Newborn Gift: Lea Curran was raised in the tough Western Australian Kimberley region. She will do anything to save her four year old daughter's life, even if that means persuading a man she cheated out of one child to give her another so the baby's cord blood can be used to treat its sister.
But sexy ex-rodeo star Reilly Martin isn't interested in just being a sperm donor. The two children are the chance at family he thought he'd lost forever. Lea may only want his genes but for Reilly it's all...or nothing.
Also, if you're a fan of paranormal, Tracey O'Hara (a distant relative of our own Tracie Sommers) has a short story on her website, Dante Rising, which is a prequel to Night's Cold Kiss, but a story on its own. A little taste:
Sixteen years ago — Rural France
ANTOINETTE sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes to look around the dark bedroom. She tilted her head and listened carefully for the noise that woke her. The gentle spring rain pitter-pattered against the bedroom window. Her little brother, Nici, breathed soft and steady beside her in a deep sleep. His arms were thrown above his head and he’d kicked the covers of his left leg. She smiled and pulled the quilt up then listened again.
Down the hall her grandmother’s snores rattled through the house. She was used to the sort of snorting gargle the old woman made, so it was doubtful that’s what woke her.
Then it came again—a distinct knocking noise from downstairs.
Someone’s here.
And very soon (to be released Nov 1!), we'll have Mel Teshco's free erotica Discovering Sophia from Ellora's Cave. In the meantime, here's the blurb:
Sofia is a divorcee, struggling to deal with the infidelities of her ex-husband. Then one day she sees a man hitchhiking. A muscular, sexy, younger man with a beautiful ass. Impulsively, she pulls her car to the side of the road and picks up the scrumptious hunk.
Jake is an adventurous guy who believes in living life to its fullest. He lets Sofia know that he thinks she is a beautiful, desirable woman, and he wants her. Jake makes her feel sexy and confident. Sofia just has to get up the nerve to go for it because she suddenly knows just what she needs to do to end all the pain and unhappiness that has consumed her.
I see I have some reading to do!
And to put a big smile on your face for the weekend, I'm posting a clip that answers the age old question once and for all, can a Labrador dance the Merengue?
