TGIF Time for a Date With Hubby


Friday seems to be the day that hubby and I take time out for our busy schedules (how on earth did it get that way when we're both supposed to be retired) and head for the movies and usually a bite to eat in one of our local restaurants.

Oh, I must confess, we always do a few errands while we're at it. Hubby likes to go to town, but I do not--unless it's for something fun.

The rest of the week I concentrate on writing my next work in progress and promoting the latest book. Right now, I'm letting people know about No Sanctuary the next in the Rocky Bluff P.D. crime series due out shortly from Oak Tree Press.

Of course I'm excited about it and I've been busy planning the promotion on the Internet and in person.

This series has an interesting history, this is the third publisher. It was inspired by my son-in-law, a 15 year veteran of the Oxnard P.D. He loved to tell me stories about what he did at work each night and he once took me on a ride-along.

It is situated in a fictional beach town, much smaller than Oxnard, located between Santa Barbara and Ventura, but still in Ventura county.

But for today, thank God it's Friday.

Fridays are good days! The problem with going on errands with my husband is that riding along with him to, say, Barnes & Noble morphs into Home Depot, the rock place, Best Buy, and The Natural Gardener. And none of them are quick stops.

This made me laugh! This has happened to me a lot too, Home Depot and Lowe's being his favorite places.

Need to Catch Up With My Blog Tour?

Remember, the person who comments on the most posts on my blog tour will win a copy of the three books that come before No Bells . No Sanctuary is the story of two ministers, two churches, two wives and one murder. Officer Stacey Wilbur and Detective Doug Milligan are a couple in this one despite Stacey's vow not to date anyone on the Rocky Bluff P.D. This is also where she begins her career as the vice officer for the department. An Axe To Grind is about a stalker who loses his head. When Detective Doug Milligan strikes out on his own to investigate a suspect, he disappears.  A distraught Stacey follows his trail. In Angel Lost as plans for her perfect wedding fill her mind, Officer Stacey Wilbur is sent out to trap a flasher. The new hire realizes Rocky Bluff P.D. is not the answer to his problem. Abel Navarro can’t concentrate on the job because of worry about his mother. Officer Gordon Butler has his usual upsets. The sudden appearance of an angel in the window of a fu

Meet Morgen Bailey from the UK

Like I do with many folks, I met Morgen through the Internet when I learned about the great interviews she does. I thought it would be fun to turn the tables on Morgen and find out something things about her, so here goes: Morgen, except for the fact that you do terrific interviews I know very little about you. So here goes with my battery of questions. First, tell me something about your background, including where you live. Thank you Marilyn. I live in Middle England really; Northampton. About as far away from water as you can get (3 hours) which I don’t quite understand as I love water; every picture (actually subconsciously until a friend pointed it out) in my house contains water. I’m one of two siblings, I have an older brother who’s an IT project Manager and lives in Zurich, Switzerland so I see him 2-3 times a year (birthdays, Christmas; the latter spent in my mum’s kitchen / diner with opposing laptops). My father died September 2011 so she potters while my brother an

Today is My Birthday!

I never thought I'd live this long! The last few years, birthday celebrations have usually been a nice dinner out in a restaurant. Hard to do these days. Sometimes cake and ice cream is how we celebrate. This year my granddaughter, Melissa, is doing something special. She's taking her grandpa and me to a place about 1 1/2 hours away for lunch, called The Secret Garden. I've not only never been there, but I've never heard of it. I took a peek on the Internet and it looks like a beautiful place to celebrate most anything. Yes, I'm excited. I'll take pictures and report on it when I get back. Melissa is special. Everyone loves here, young and old alike. I was in the delivery room when she was born--exciting and wonderous. I babysat her many times until her mom and dad moved to Central California. (We live there now. When she was a teen, she came with me when I took the women in my care home to church camp, and was an unbelievable help. I couldn&
