Spring / “Hello You”

•March 8, 2010 • 1 Comment

I’m feeling a lot of beautiful things today, a realization that surprised me at first because I didn’t recognize what I’d felt until I’d actually thought about it. I think it’s the oncoming spring. It’s strengthening inside me my hope for possibilities, the want to really try.

I stumbled across a story I’d read ages ago and I’m so happy I rediscovered it. It’s called Hello You by Laura Motta. The heroine shares a creative writing class with the hero, and rereading it actually made me so happy I hugged myself. (Eee @ “Cold hands” “Hot everywhere else.”). It reminds me of one of my most favorite compliments, and spring and potential and the magic of both being honest and never entirely certain who’s lurking in the love shadows.

Book Trailer on CoffeeTime Romance and More

Thanks to author Piper Denna, the book trailer for my story “Love on the Side of the NJ Turnpike” has been added to the Coffee Time Romance and More play lists under “Contemporary” and “Erotic” at www.youtube.com/user/CoffeeTimeRomanceMor!

In random news, I tried to be hip and abbreviate the story — “LotSofNJT” — but was shocked by how now abbreviated that seemed. Why must I be so verbose? Another mystery for another day.
