Who is feeling the Good Vibes?

Howdy y'all! How goes it?
It goes fine, Las... wanna tell me why in the shittin' hell you have a honkin' great picture of a vibrator at the top of your newsletter?
Why, I'm so glad you asked ;)
I mentioned a while back that I'm putting together an anthology of short stories. The theme is 'Good Vibes' and all of the stories in the book will feature vibrators. Sounds like fun, right?
Trust me when I tell you, it IS.
It started out as a joke, someone made a quip about it in another anthology group I'm in about how I should do a vibe anthology, but the idea was planted (this is generally how I operate. See also: AJ's series) and when a cover crossed my Facebook feed that was PERFECT for this project, I jumped on it and now it's a thing.
Not only is it a thing, but I am SO FREAKIN' EXCITED about it. My short story is a Lisa and AJ short - remember them? From my very first books? Well, they're back and I loved every second of writing this fun, light-hearted and hilarious short story.
We don't have a pre-order link yet, but if you want to shelve it on Goodreads, I wouldn't be mad about it:
Good Vibes is currently sitting at #3 on the most anticipated romance books in August... If you're in the vicinity already, to pop it on your TBR pile, could you do me a solid and throw a vote its way too? Please?
What's in it for you? Well... I figured y'all might want a little sneak peek...
Wantons and Wicked Ways - Good Vibes Anthology, August 9th 2021
“You got something you wanna tell me?” He pushed off from the pillar and straightened himself, arms outstretched to take Olivia.
“Yeah. As a matter of fact, there is. You didn’t pack nappies in the nappy bag.”
His jaw dropped open and snapped closed. “Well, I guess what I lack in packing skills, you more than made up for in your packing.”
“What the f—udgesicles does that mean?”
He lowered his face so his mouth was next to her ear. “I thought our marriage was solid enough to talk about when one of us is unhappy.” His words were laced with sadness and disappointment.
Her stomach dropped and ice cold terror seized her chest. “You’re unhappy?” It came out as a croak, and she grabbed onto the pillar to steady herself. “I—I know the holiday was tough on us, what with all the vomiting and poop, but I thought we were stronger than a lil bug.”
“What?” His brows pulled into that deep frown of confusion he wore when trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle. “I’m perfectly happy in our marriage Lisa, I’m not the one who had a freakin’ lightsaber-esque vibrator crammed into the side pocket of her suitcase!”

Also... I need dinner ideas... I'm in a recipe rut. Every Thursday last year I got a Hello Fresh box delivered to my house - it usually has three or four recipes in it and the food to cook along, but Brexit caused a supply issue and they kept sending the same things. So I need a change. What do you have for me?
My son Lewis asked for this the other day, we're low on packets of ranch *sniff* but I think I'm going to make it for him (translation: me!) because it is DELICIOUS! It's usually something I make for the Fourth of July weekend - and it's equally delicious (possibly even moreso) when it's all still a bit warm.
Let me know if you try it.
Let me know some of your favorite home-cooked recipes. Things I can freeze leftovers of, crock pot recipes, casseroles... pasta always goes down well in this house... show me what you got, folks!
Until next time,
Have you joined my reader group yet? If not, then head over to: Margaritas, Men and Mischief with Lasairiona. As the name suggests, it's a place for my readers to chat about all things romance - with a healthy dose of sarcasm, sharp wit, conversations comprised entirely of GIFs, sneak peeks, giveaways and a plethora of memes. It's one of my absolute favorite places on the internet and I'm really enjoying getting to know readers that bit better over there. Don't be shy - we don't bite... much! Come on over!
