Happy Sunday!! Whew!! What a week. Lets start with book winners.
Glenda won a copy of The Secret Life of Miss Anna Marsh on Buried Under Romance, and Lana on History Undressed.
Sandra Merrill won Cheryl Bolen’s book, Marriage of Inconvenience. Congratulations ladies!! Sandra, you’ll need to contact me with your physical address.
The release for The Secret Life of Miss Anna Marsh went amazingly well. the book has been on the Amazon Regency bestseller list for almost a week now, and The Seduction of Lady Phoebe is on it as well. Having readers love my books, and spread the word is a dream come true. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for reading and telling others about the books.
Next week, I’ll have a Facebook contest to name book #5 of The Marriage Game. My editor and I can’t come up with anything we both like. The winner will receive a signed copy of the book, and either lunch with me at RT in New Orleans, or RWA Nationals in San Antonio, or a Caribbean spice basket. So put your thinking caps on.
Here is the blurb I did up to help you.
William, Viscount Wivenly, is determined to escape marriage minded ladies before his luck runs out, and he’s trapped. When asked to investigate the problems surrounding his deceased great-uncle’s family, William jumps at the chance to assist. Yet after arriving in the West Indies, his attention is drawn to a sultry, young French widow. Now all he can think about his making her is mistress.
Life has not been easy for Miss Eugénie Villaret de Joyeuse since her step-father, Nathan Wivenly, died. She’s had to continue their work freeing slaves, hold her family together, and discover why the business is mysteriously losing money. She doesn’t have time for a spoiled Englishman who kisses ignite her passion.
When Will learns his widow is in fact an innocent and his father’s ward, he immediately proposes marriage, on his terms. Yet Eugénie has something else in store for the arrogant viscount. If he wants her hand in marriage, he’ll have to work for it.
With all the rain we’ve had, the beach has changed again. This is the outlet from the mangrove swamp. I was on the paddle board this morning, and it’s all sanded in now.
The rocks at the far end of the beach were surrounded by water.
I found a very cool sand castle. I made the photo larger so you could see more detail.
It even had a flag.
Have a lovely Sunday and the rest of the week.

What a fun sand castle! Makes me wish for my family vacations at the beach!
Wasn’t that a great job!! It had to have been done by someone from a cruise ship.
Congrats on reaching the bestseller lists! You must be thrilled!!
How neat to stumble upon a sand castle out of the blue.
I’m over the moon, Stacey!!
I’m always finding interesting things on my walks.
Wonderful news! Congratulations. I love the sandcastle. What a lot of work and inspiration went into creating it. (Kind of like writing a book)
I agree, Darlene!! Who ever did it is very talented! And yes, like writing a book.
Congrats on your release! A great idea having a contest for titles 🙂 I’m terrible at titles.
Titles are so difficult. I may have to change the venue of it to the blog.
Both books on the best seller list! That’s fabulous, Ella. 🙂
I love the sandcastle.
I know, Carol!!
