Reading at the Beach

Over the last couple of years I have cut way back on my paperback book purchases in favor of ebooks. But in preparation for my trip to the beach I purchased a few paperbacks. Let's face it, taking a laptop or ebook reader down to the beach near water and sand isn't practical. So, on my first day I happily read for an hour or so before taking a break. I left my book in my chair but when I returned an hour or so later I found my daughter had thrown it off the chair and the surf had come in far enough to lap at the pages. One book down!

The next day, I decided to try again but warned my daughter not to touch my book. I almost took the book with me as I returned to the beach house but my chair was a safe distance from the water and I only planned a short break. Upon returning to my chair, I discovered my book missing. Now, I've lost my second book and I'm not very happy.

Of course, I would have been more upset if my ebook reader got wet or was stolen but still it seems that reading on the beach doesn't work for me.

Instead, I managed to read a few ebooks from the comfort and safety of the deck. Thank goodness for the convenience of downloading ebooks.

Have a good one,

“Mav, I found your way in,” Rebecca said with just a little too much glee for his comfort.
First Commander Maverick Spencer rolled his chair across the tiled floor. His gaze zeroed in on Rebecca’s vid screed as it flashed an advertisement for a robotic sex site. “No thanks, Rebecca. I don’t need to buy sex. But there might be something there for you.”
“Nope. But that Marston babe you downloaded into your cyber sex unit just placed an order.”
“For what?” His gaze snapped back to the vid screen. “And I downloaded her file for research. She’s a target in our investigation.”
“Yep but you added her picture to your cyber sex unit. You can’t hide anything from a techno wiz.” Merriment gleamed in Rebecca’s eyes. “Anyway, she ordered a pleasure droid—a hi-tech robotic sex machine—and wait until you hear the description. She might have been describing you. Well, that is, if you have at least ten inches in those pants.” Rebecca raised her brows in a suggestive manner.
“I think I can cover that,” Mav grumbled, his eyes scanning the banner ad.
“Excuse me.” Rebecca waved her hand in his direction. “I need to open this drawer.” Mav rolled backward to allow her to rummage through his stash of odds and ends.
“What are you looking for?”
“A tape measure. I had better verify the length. We wouldn’t want to disappoint her.”
“If you think I’m whipping it out for you—think again. I never disappoint.” He scooted closer, reading the digital data. “I’m still not sure how this pleasure droid info is going to help us.”

Made for Me Cover!!!!

Here's my cover for my May 29th release.

Oaks Day

Hey,

It's Oaks Day here in Kentucky. That is the day before the Derby. I don't know how many of you are horse racing fans but it's a great time of year here. Last weekend we had Thunder Over Louisville, which is an airshow and fireworks...awesome to see. During the week there are balloon races, steamboat races, parades and so forth. If you ever want to visit Louisville this is the time of year to do it.

Unfortunately, we've been having a bit of rain but the show goes on regardless. I'm not going to the track this year but I will attend a party and put a few dollars on the horses. Wish me luck.

WTF??

Lately, life has seems full of disappointments. We went to my favorite Chinese restaurant the other day. I’ve been going to this place since I was a teenager…that’s a long time. I have told so many people about this place because they have the most awesome fried rice. Everyone that I referred there has agreed. They are the best…or they used to be. They changed the recipe or something because the rice was okay but nothing special. I asked a couple friends that had been there lately and they agreed. WTF! Why do you change something that is perfect?

Then, I bought a book by one of my favorite authors. I won’t say who but I love this author. Guess what the book was okay but not nearly as good as most of the books by this author. I’ll still buy the next book by this author though. We all have books that are better than others. I know I do. I was just surprised because this author had never disappointed me before.

So, I thought to cheer myself up I’d take a trip to my favorite store. It sells clothes for larger women that I like. Yeah! You guessed it. They didn’t have hardly anything I liked.

Now, I’m wondering is it me???

The one thing that hasn’t disappointed me lately though is my amazingly supportive family and friends. And, if you have that what else do you need.

Hope everyone has a great weekend with few disappointments.
