[Monday Me-Time]: New Website and Past Travel

Sup everyone? Enjoying your holiday weekend if you're in the States and/or work someplace that observes Memorial Day? Don't forget to take some time to reflect on why we have a day off for Memorial Day while we kick off the unofficial start to the summer!

This is the first in what's going to be a series called Monday Me-Time where I'll blog about something personal: my likes, travels, something that means something to me. But before I get into that I want to talk about what I did over the weekend: ta-dah!

I have a website! I thought it'd be good to put myself out there professionally, partly to improve my online footprint (I barely have one!) and partly to make sure I keep my professional achievements chronicled. Still more to come obviously: the "Work" page needs to be updated with some press releases, achievements, and articles I've been featured or quoted in.

But I'm really excited about how it came out!

Now, moving onto my Me-Time post...


I should have posted about this months ago, but for the first time in my life, I went to Paris this past December for Christmas. I have friends who live there and was visiting them and their family. It was absolutely wonderful, and I miss it a lot. I want to go back! The food! The sights! The wine! We even got to spend some time in Dijon, where my friend's family is from. So gorgeous.

Here are a few pictures from my awesome trip!

So that's all for now. Where have you been that you're dying to revisit?

This was further down in my to-post list, but as it comes out today I really wanted to post this review now. It's the first in a new series by Lisa A. Olech, a new author to Kensington's digital-first imprint, Lyrical Press. And yes, it's a historical romance...at sea...with pirates! WITHIN A CAPTAIN'S HOLD by Lisa Olech Blurb : Captain Jaxon Steele is a tall, sun-bronzed, fierce-fighting Pirate King. He and the notorious crew of the Scarlet Night are both feared and respected for their ruthless reputation. The Captain’s only love is the open sea and the ship he calls home. When it comes to women, he has three rules: never sleep with another’s wife, don’t take virgins into bed, and most importantly, never bring a woman aboard—that brings the worst luck of all.

Hey look! My first real post. And it's a book review, which you know, is the point of this blog. I don't have a ton of time to post this so let's get right into it, shall we? PLAYING THE LINES by J. Colby Cover art by Aisha Akeju Blurb : Photographer Elliot is near the top of his field and loves his work, even if it means putting up with models like Cory: beautiful, egotistical, and aggravating. Then a photoshoot in Norway shows there's more to Cory than Elliot thought, and he agrees to dinner despite himself. But even if he's not completely a brat, it's well known Cory prefers to play rather than settle. And Elliot isn't interested in being anyone's toy—no matter how persuasive and persistent Cory proves to be. Here's my review :
