My neice took this picture when she up visiting with us last weekend. You can see how happy Maple is to have someone other than me pay her attention. Hee hee

This was taken the other day when we made a dump run with the recycling. The lady in the entrance/guard house always gives Maple a “cookie” when we check-in. The intense, waiting-for-it-Carly-Simon Anticipation look on Maple’s face was so cute. She knew she was gonna get a cookie and she was on the lookout to make sure of it!

A PRIDE OF BROTHERS: AIDEN is a Long and Short Reviews BEST BOOK!
Every now and then something happens in my life that validates I’m doing the whole writing-thing correctly. Yesterday was one of those days.
I received – quite unexpectedly – a BEST BOOK nod from a reviewer at Long and Short Reviews EZine.
When I first saw the post and quickly glanced at it I noticed just 1 star in the header and my heart fell. I figured I’d really gotten it wrong with this book if a professional reviewer gave it such a low rating. A one star rating is the equivalent of saying don’t give up your day job.
But…
When I looked closely and saw the words BEST BOOK embossed in the star I started screaming with joy. So much so, Maple came running to see if I was being attacked and rescue me!
This is by far one of the most emotional reviews for me EVAH! You can read it here in its entirety if you want, but suffice it to say the reviewer liked the book. She really liked it – like a Sally Field at the Oscars liked it!!!! L&SR
If you’d like to purchase a copy of your own to read, here’s the universal link. The book is available in ecopy and print across multiple commercial sites: A Pride of Brothers: AIDEN
For me, I’m going to bac to writing now, armed with the knowledge I’m doing something -some small thing – correctly!

When their investigation puts Lexi’s life in jeopardy, her safety becomes his number one priority. The hard part is not falling for her.
