All are special discounted for your reading pleasure. These books can be read in any order on this website, www.marytateengels.com to bring out your Irish heart.  New Year 2021 dawns with a full moon of hope. HOPE. How many times have we written that word in our holiday communications with friends and family? Hope for the future, for good health, for better days, to be free for travel, to hug our kids.
But wait. Is hope an active word? Is it simply a desire, or like love, a 2nd hand emotion as Tina Turner sings? Hope is to anticipate, which indicates trust. Hope is to crave, to believe, to dream. So maybe hope is the beginning of a dream. A prerequisite to action? The beginning of an active verb? Hopes lead to dreams which lead to intentions which lead to goals which lead to plans. Now, that’s action! As always, this is my Note to Self. My New Years Intensions: Make Hope an action verb. Stop hoping and start acting. Make IT happen. Be creative. Be active. Focus! Do it! LET'S MAKE 2021 A BETTER YEAR FOR ALL OF US! Mary Tate I hope you like my featured books this month, both set in Mexico, where I’ve spent a lot of time over the years. And to make that hope active, I’ve priced them on sale. Only 99c! Rogue Diamond is about finding a stolen child and breaking up a baby trafficking ring. A Man to Remember is a fun story of adventure, escape and love!   Once upon a time, this black cat… hung around the patio… Black in-door house cat wasn't friendly… But this black feral cat persisted. A year ago, house cat Angel crossed Rainbow Bridge But Ali Kat is still hanging around, She likes her milk cold and her food crunchy, She runs feral and free Against all odds, 14 years of living outside in the desert land of coyotes and bobcats, She is still here, hanging around. Smart cat. Survivor. Persistence wins. True story. This year, 2020, and at this time, before a hotly contested election, reminds me why I like to write fiction. To escape, create my own little world and watch some really nice and loving characters figure out and overcome the problems in their lives. Makes me think I can, too. Hopefully, you will think so, too. And it's why we read. Persistence wins.  OUR TIME TO LOVE, my 99 cent winter special is.... … a bridge to love, a tribute to all our heroes, now more than ever. Violence always changes everything. Only love can heal. You can't run from your past; you have to live through it to a healing place. You can't hide from love; it will seek you out. Will you be ready? There is a time for love… for Gwyn and Neal in Harmony Creek. But is that time now? Love and Peace, Mary Tate |
