Light the Way Home

Island hideaway for a woman needing a fresh start? Check. Hot single dad next door? Hmm...

HELLO AND WELCOME

Hello, and welcome to my home on the web! If you like a little paranormal in your romance, you're in the right place.

My books are both contemporary and light paranormal romances, all with a huge helping of heat, and a guaranteed happy ending.

I am a mom, a wife, and a book-lover to the core. I hope you'll check things out, and that you come back often to see what's new.

That Time Again

That Time Again

I know, some of you are saying, no, it’s too early! But this is on my goal list for this month, to work on them. I’ll fine-tune and finalize them next month, but I need to at least have a starting point. My goals list for this year went to hell early in the year, but I think that happened to a lot of people this year. I had intended to have Medusa stories back out in the world, not just my Common Elements Romance Project story. That won’t happen now until next year unfortunat

Gratitude Month

Gratitude Month

It’s the beginning of November, and here in the U.S., that means Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. It’s nice to have a day to be thankful for everything that’s happened in the past year, but I feel like we should be grateful all the time. I try to be, anyway. There is almost always something I can be thankful for, even in a really crappy week, like a mug full of my favorite tea or hot chocolate.

Heading for Halloween

Heading for Halloween

( Depositphotos.com ) It’s the last day of my extra-long weekend, and it looks more like fall here now, with most of the trees showing colors other than green, finally! Though there are some trees that seem to have skipped the color change and gone right to drop-all-the-leaves. Halloween is less than a week away, and my biggest excitement for it is that it is also a blue moon this year. I’m just hoping the weather is nice enough to see it, maybe set up the telescope in the ba

Just a Couple More Days…

Just a Couple More Days…

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. We just have to get through the next two days of crazy-busy at the day-job, and then I have a five day weekend. I’ve started working on my to-do list for the weekend already. At the moment, it’s just a couple of specifics and some vague, over-these-days-this-needs-to-happen. My plan is to get the specifics out of the way first, like the oil change on my car, dropping my ballot at the county elections office, a little more headston

Feels Like Fall

Feels Like Fall

It’s grey and dreary here, and we’re expecting rain later. It looks like fall, with leaves in the neighborhood starting to change colors (or in some cases, just fall off of their trees, like my neighbor’s). I’m looking forward to more color on the trees in the next week or two, though the temps have stayed pretty nice. Today, I have plans to throw some veggies in the oven to roast while I do some household chores to get us through the week, plus get through at least another c

Happy Season

Happy Season

I had an entire post written (after fighting with the new plug-in WP installed for my blog site without asking me) and now it’s gone. So I’m going to start fresh and keep the cursing to myself. But I do hate when sites update things without warning or asking users beforehand. So annoying. Like going to the grocery store and discovering they’ve completely rearranged everything. I can never decide if spring or fall is my favorite season, and in each one, I think that’s the one.

What a Month!

What a Month!

We’re winding down September with a family birthday dinner today (and start October with another next weekend!), hence the cupcake. It’s been kind of a busy month for me: crazy-busy weeks at the day-job, a few family birthdays to celebrate, the 30-day accountability challenge (which has been going amazingly well! I’m really excited about the progress I’ve made.), ticking a couple of to-do items from my perpetual list, plus the Fall into These Great Reads Bookathon. Speaking

Fall Reading

Fall Reading

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I was taking part in this fun book event, and my post will be up this week, on Wednesday, 9/23 (fun coincidence, that is my oldest son’s birthday!). I’m really excited about this. Celebrate Autumn all month long at N. N. Light’s Book Heaven’s second annual Fall Into These Great Reads Bookathon. 47 books, 34 authors. So much fun! I have a link to the general promo page here, but will have the direct link to my post on Wednesday and will s

Not Quite Fall

Not Quite Fall

But it doesn’t feel like summer anymore either. Finally! There are some gorgeous days in the weather forecast for us for the next week, and I’m so excited. Today was one of them. Sunny, but not hot like just a couple weeks ago. I’m liking this weather. I wish summer was more like this than the 90-100+ degree temps we had all season this year. Today, I’m doing a quick fly-by because I’m working on revisions on that first tiger shifter story, and I really want to get some extra

Hello September

Hello September

We’re finishing up a holiday weekend here, though I think I did as much work this weekend as if there wasn’t an extra day off. But it was necessary, and I’m glad it’s done. I had a lot of mulch delivered to the boys’ midweek, and then spent Saturday and Sunday mulching flower beds around the house and planting a few things as well. We had a hard time guesstimating the amount of mulch we needed, so we wound up with extra, so the good news is we won’t need to mulch next year. A

End of Summer

End of Summer

These guys love my fennel plants all summer. When I have dill planted, they love that, too, and since the plants get so big, I don’t mind sharing. When I snapped this picture the other evening, this guy had two friends also snacking on the same fennel plant. Two of the caterpillars were pretty sizable, like, soon time to cocoon and change into butterflies, and the the third was about half their size, so he had some time to go before his changeover. Aside from the caterpillars

Vacation Week

Vacation Week

This looks like a normal vacation, right? Especially when you’re a kid. I kind of wish that was this year’s vacation. Maybe next year. In reality, my vacation is a ‘working vacation’ this time, with some tasks on my to-do list getting checked off–like some of the garden work I needed to do at the boys’ house, and some purging here at our house. I still have more garden work to to do at the boys’, but I am going to wait until it cools down a bit here, like my long weekends in

One of Those Days

One of Those Days

That is not my current view, but the grey sky is pretty much what we’ve had here all day. There was a little rain overnight, and into the early morning, and then the clouds just stuck around. To be fair, I wouldn’t mind it so much if the view included the beach above where we do our writing retreats, but alas, not this year. Those kind of days aren’t really motivating, are they? They invite more lounging and doing nothing than getting things accomplished, I think. But in spit

Staycation Plans

Staycation Plans

( Beach with chaise lounges – Depositphotos ) That looks like a good spot for a vacation, doesn’t it? Beach, water, no other people around. Unfortunately, this is unlikely for most people this year. Vacations in general are almost impossible with the virus still spreading all over the place. I hadn’t really planned to go away during my week off later this month, but I can daydream, right? While I hope for an actual vacation next year. My plans for this year are far less glamo

What Does August Hold?

What Does August Hold?

(Heart in sand on Atlantic coast -Depositphotos) I’m capping off my birthday week celebration today with family dinner with my guys, but we have a little while until our early dinner. It’s been a good week, and I’ve spent some of it looking at the new month ahead. I have my writing goals, of course, but I admit to being really distracted the last few days. I have a store of photos for hero inspiration, current and future, and periodically, I stumble across a photo I’ve loved

Birthday Week 2020

Birthday Week 2020

This is the last week you’ll hear me talk about my birthday till next summer. I got a gorgeous box of chocolates from someone I work with the other day–these chocolates are so beautiful, it’s a sin to eat them, but I will, eventually. My cheesecake will be here this week, but because my birthday falls on the busiest day of the week for the day-job, we’ll have birthday dinner and cake on the weekend next week. I’m still pondering dinner, but the cake was already decided on. To

Almost There!

Almost There!

Yes, I’m still thinking about birthday cakes. So many different varieties, shapes, sizes–yellow sheet cake, triple layer chocolate cake, angel food. And most of them I love. I’m not a fan of peanut butter icing (it’s okay, more for you!), but there are almost no limits to the kinds of cake I would eat, or have eaten in the past. When I was younger, my mom had a friend who made a rum cake one year when we visited. There was rum in the cake (I can still remember how moist that
