At SQ's House

Today's the day for ice skating on the lake! It's good and frozen. And friends, I haven't skated in years, like since before I published my first novel--and I'm working on novel number 55 as we speak.

But the lake is frozen and glassy and I have new skates waiting to be broken in, so I'm going. The thing is, I have more excitement--the little kid can't-wait-to-do-it kind--than I do trepidation--the not-so-young lady worried about breaking a leg kind. I'll let you know how it goes with a pic next week.❄️❄️

Review Spotlight for Notorious Man on Campus

"I absolutely love these books I have read them all so far! Brick and Nylas story is unique and such a great tale! I adore the way each character has its flaws and still has amazing attributes! It is such a great read I would recommend it to everyone! I adore the hockey ones more but the football ones are still a great read!"
