#wednesdaywisdom 8.7.2024
People used to say “There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” meaning, you had to so something to get something in return.
This quote pushes that narrative. You won’t just wake up tomorrow and be a successful author/businessperson/famous movistar, just to name a few. You have to put in the work, sweat, frustrations, and diligence to achieve a level of success.
You have to fail before you can succeed.
You have to work before you can reap the benefits of that work.
I love this quote!

#teasertuesday 8.6.24
Today, it’s a book cover tease, lol…
From the upcoming ( 11.11.24 release) of A CHEF’S KISS CHRISTMAS _A DICKENS HOLIDAY ROMANCE Book 26)
Successful Chef Anton Saparosa had the perfect life. Great marriage; beautiful and adoring wife; trendy, SoCal restaurant frequented by celebrities – many of them his friends.
Then Covid hit.
Anton’s perfect life dissolved before his eyes. With nothing left to keep him in California he starts an itinerant cross-country journey searching for something to give his life meaning again.
Happenstance lands him in the tiny town of Dickens just as Dorrit’s Diner is thrown into chaos.
Literary Agent Portia Avon needs a rest. A messy divorce has her craving quiet and the company of her friend and client A.B. Cards, nee Abra Bree. She comes from the western heat of California to the eastern cold of Dickens and plans to do nothing but rest, relax, and read during her holiday stay.
When Portia spots a familiar face in Dorrit’s, she’s confused. Why is Anton Saparosa, one of the most recognizable chefs in California, working as a fry cook in Abra’s mom’s diner, and going by the name Tony Smith?
A question Portia wants an answer to, but one Tony isn’t willing to share, especially with a woman he can’t stop thinking about.

#tbt #tbthursday 8.1.24
From April, 2023….
The third book in the San Valentino family is today’s First line Friday – CHRISTMAS & CANNOLIS
Regina’s tips for surviving in a big Italian family: #1: Ignore behavior that will never change.
With Christmas season in full swing, baker Regina San Valentino is up to her elbows in cake batter and cookie dough. Between running her own business, filling her bursting holiday order book, and managing her crazy Italian family, she’s got no time to relax, no room for more custom cake orders, and no desire to find love. A failed marriage and a personal tragedy have convinced her she’s better off alone. Then a handsome stranger enters her bakery begging for help. Regina can’t find it in her heart to refuse him.
Connor Gilhooly is in a bind. He needs a specialty cake for an upcoming fundraiser and puts himself—and his company’s reputation—in Regina’s capable hands. What he doesn’t plan on is falling for a woman with heartbreak in her eyes or dealing with a wise-guy father and a disapproving family.
Can Regina lay her past to rest and trust the man who’s awoken her heart?
