SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Seeking Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Happiness seems illusive when we are Social Distancing, Masking, and Isolating for the good of the Realm. 

On top of that, we’re in a dry heat spell with 100+ temperatures almost daily and there’s a 3-week ongoing wildfire on the mountain near our home. Oh, and we have long-smoldering fear and fury in the streets. Did I mention it’s election season with political claptrap flying hither and yon over every media?

Sounds like a Sci-fi novel. No where is safe. 
Not exactly the best Creative environment for a writer, especially one who favors Romance. So what’s a writer to do? 

I try to be positive (& creative) within the social boundaries imposed on me so I made a list of things I enjoy. I encourage you to do the same. What I really want is to escape, get away, breathe in clean air, walk on a beach, play golf, eat seafood and salads. And drink wine at sunset overlooking the Dordogne River Valley in Southern France. In my dreams. 

But I see that I’m way off mark. Here is what’s trending now in our isolated world:
Baking bread 
Toilet paper 
Face masks 
Hand sanitizers 
Home projects 
Guy Fieri - who is feeding front line healthcare workers and helping out of work food workers. Yay Guy! 
Reruns of Downton Abbey. So we think we have it bad! Okay, I feel better. Writing about it helps. Highly advised. I’m off to find my inspiration to do my favorite happy thing. Write! And maybe read a bit. While isolating....with out my mask.

What’s on your list for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness during these unusual times? If reading is one of your favorites, may I recommend my three featured books this summer. They’re on sale on my HOME page (see above) for 99 cents each! Fall in love again with:
Rare Breed - A crash in the Grand Canyon brings them together. When adventurer Brit Bailey is rescued by Navajo professor Jake Landry, she can’t help falling in love. Will her rescue tear them apart? 
Speak to the Wind - Apache leader, Joe Quintero helps put out one fire, only to start another. Maria Eden’s mountain cabin is saved. But the wildfire between them ignites a love that soars beyond their ability to control. 
Texas Sizzle - Sophisticated widow, Kathryn Coleman steps out of her league in Texas when she falls for local football hero, Max Logan. He arouses her desire for love, laughter and country music. Is she a cougar, intrigued with a younger man or a lonely woman looking for love? 
Love
