So since I was on clear liquids 48 hours prior to my colonoscopy and had to do the dreaded prep, I wanted to make up for it post-test. Hubby and I went to Longhorne and I had twin lobsters and mac n cheese. I think I may be the only person in town who goes to a bonafide steak house and orders fish. Or in this case, crustaceans.

Taken at Fall In Love New England 2021. Wanda and her mom were a bee and a keeper while I was trying to be Nefrititi. Wanda made me several coasters with pics of us at the party. So cute and thoughtful.

Pre-colonoscopy… I don’t usually post pictures of myself or my face, but since we’re still required to wear masks in the hospital I figured, why not? Hee hee

And a little about my very first ( but not last) Cowboy PNR romance!
Police Psychic Silvestra Coeltrain comes to Renewal, OK to visit with old friends and to heal. After a year in which she was tested physically, mentally, and psychically, all she wants to do is sleep, fish, and bask in the tranquility of the sleepy town.
Sheriff Caleb Blackbear doesn’t understand the feelings he’s quickly developing for Renewal’s newest visitor. She responds to his kisses with a passion that equals his own. But she’s an enigma, filled with secrets and evasions, and he’s a suspicious man.
When several of the local ranches begin losing cattle to a mysterious illness, it’s Silvestra who claims the animals are being methodically targeted and killed. As Cal’s investigation zeros in on who and what could be slaying the animals, the murder of a prominent rancher’s daughter – and Cal’s former lover – complicates things. With Silvestra’s life now in danger, Cal is determined to keep her safe at any cost.
But can he?

One week countdown! SASHA’S SECRET SANTA #holidayromance #smalltown #medicalromance
Seven more sleeps until this little darling makes its debut in the Holiday book-reading world! I can’t wait to share SASHA’S SECRET SANTA with you all!
The tiny town of Dickens has become a fan favorite and in the 2022 Holiday season, we have several new authors who have contributed stories to the series. You can find the completed list here: DICKENS HOLIDAY ROMANCES
In Sasha’s Secret Santa, Sasha Charles, Amy and Andy’s middle adopted child, returns home.
After a terrifying incident derails her career and confidence, she moves back to her hometown of Dickens to heal, reorganize, and start over.
The only problem? The paralyzing panic attacks that plague her whenever she thinks about going back to nursing. Sasha is mentally, and emotionally stuck, and has no idea how to move forward.
Steve Caldwell is the new Director of Services at Dickens Memorial Hospital. After witnessing her save the life of a local resident in Dorrit’s Diner, he knows Sasha would be perfect for the new trauma center he’s planning. When she refuses his job offer outright, he sets out to change her mind.
But Sasha has thick, protective walls erected around her so Steve must first break through them. With patience and kindness, he does. As the two grow closer, each begin to have second thoughts on what their futures should look like, until idle, small-town gossip threatens to derail their budding relationship.
With the imminent arrival of Christmas, will Steve be able to convince Sasha he has her best interests at heart?
I hope you enjoy this addition to the series. I’d rate it 4 flames for sexy!!!
And don’t forget my other Dorrit’s Diner additions:
Angel Kisses and Holiday Wishes
And FIXING CHRISTMAS
Dickens is the best place on earth to be for the holidays ( or any other day of the year!)
Enjoy ~ Peh

#SundaySnippet Return to Dickens! SASHA’S SECRET SANTA #holidayromance #cominghome
I’m getting very excited! SASHA’S SECRET SANTA ( A Dickens Holiday Romance: Dorrit’s Diner) releases into the book reading world in a little over one week! Here’s the last snippet to whet your book-reading appetite!!! Enjoy.
The diner was, blissfully, empty for the moment after a mad breakfast rush so Sasha slid across the booth from her sister and let out a sigh.
“Busy morning?” Abra asked peering over the edge of her mug.
“Aren’t they all?”
“For you, maybe. I’m just sitting around the house all day hoping not to explode.”
Sasha’s gaze drifted to Abra’s belly. If it were possible it was larger than the week before. “You sure there’s only one baby cooking in there?”
“Unless he or she is hiding right behind the other, yeah. One baby on ultrasound. I swear it’s gonna come out knowing how to walk.” She glanced around. “Where’s mom?”
“Took the day off to go shopping with dad. I almost couldn’t believe it when she told me yesterday she was actually going to be away from the diner during daylight hours for an entire day.”
“Dollar bet she’s back here before three, unable to take a full day off.”
“I’m taking that bet.”
Abra put her cup down and cleared her throat.
“Here it comes,” Sasha said.
“What?”
“The reason you’re here, in the middle of the morning, when I know for a fact your deadline is tomorrow and you haven’t finished the book yet.” When her sister lifted her brows, Sasha said, “Colton was in yesterday for lunch.”
“That man.” Abra’s eye rolls were legendary within the family and Sasha was always impressed they didn’t give her sister a major headache when she executed them. “When I met him he never spoke more than three words if one would suffice. With the advent of this pregnancy he’s become Chatty Charlie.”
“Okay, so out with it. What’s up?”
Another eye roll. “I should have asked this before but my life is such a crazy reality show right now and yours isn’t exactly calm, either.”
“Truth.”
“But, well, Colt and I realized last night that with the baby due any second now, we need to get some things done beforehand. So, on my list today is asking you something I should have asked a few months ago, but…well.”
“I wasn’t in exactly the best head space a few months ago.”
Abra’s reluctant nod agreed. “But now you are and I need to know, will you be the peanut’s godmother?”
Tears formed and a smile she couldn’t contain broke free over Sasha’s face. “You know the answer without me uttering a word. Of course I will. I’m honored to.”
Nodding, Abra said, “There’s more. Colt’s the one who brought this up and it makes sense. He and his first wife discussed it when she was alive concerning their boys and now with this one due,” she ran a hand over her stomach, “we need to get it settled, legally.”
“Abs, what are you asking me?”
“We want to make you guardian of the baby should anything happen to us.”
“Oh, my heavens. Really?”
“You’re the most logical and best choice for so many reasons my head spins thinking about them. So, yes, really, we want you.”
She stretched a hand across the table and Sasha met it, halfway. “Nothing’s going to happen to Colt or I, God willing,” she knocked on the table with her free hand, “but if it does, we’d feel better knowing you’d be the one to look after our child.”
Pleased and honored were good words but they didn’t come close to what Sasha truly felt. Her throat now choked with emotion, she could only squeeze her sister’s hand and nod.
Abra smiled. “Good. That’s two things off my list for today.” Her theatrical sigh pulled a grin from Sasha. “Only ten thousand more to do.”
“Let’s start with getting you and baby some lunch. Be right back.”
Intrigued? I hope so! Heehee
