I Didn't Run Away and Join the Circus - I'm Back!
After we returned from vacation, I came over to the Tiki Hut, swept the joint and made a few repairs, updated the bar stock, and hired a few new cabana boys. Under the Tiki Hut is open for business!
My vacation was awesome. As wonderful as it was, both Live-In Handyman and I were really happy to be back home. I'll tell you more about our meanderings next week.
And yes, vacation news has to wait because - as promised - I have a cool surprise for you today.
Here it is...the cover for IN NAME ONLY:
IN NAME ONLY will be available on July 10, 2012. You'll be hearing more about Summer and her story as time gets closer.
Now that I've told you my news, what's up with you?

And yes, vacation news has to wait because - as promised - I have a cool surprise for you today.
Here it is...the cover for IN NAME ONLY:
No
home. No family. No place to hide. For Summer Newcombe, that's only the
beginning.
The
night Summer escapes from a burning Padre Island eatery and discovers the
arsonist is stalking her, is the same night she meets Fire Captain Gabriel
Duran. As much as she's attracted to Gabe, five years in the Federal Witness
Security Program because of her father’s testimony against a mob boss have
taught her the importance of being alone and invisible.
No
matter how much she yearns for a real home, Summer relinquished that option the
night she killed the man who murdered her father. But Gabe breaks down her
guard and places both of them in danger. Summer has vowed never to kill again,
but she's frantic she'll cost Gabe his life unless she stops running and fights
for the future she wants with the man she loves.
IN NAME ONLY will be available on July 10, 2012. You'll be hearing more about Summer and her story as time gets closer.
Now that I've told you my news, what's up with you?
Did you stay out of trouble while I was away?
Any juicy gossip? New books? Things I should know?
Fill me in!

Congratulations, Carol! Love the cover and can't wait to get my hands on the book.
While you were gone I crossed Wyoming, came back and ran into a pony show.
It's been a good few weeks.
And the story sounds irresistible. Will definitely be added to my "summer read" list. :)
I'm so happy for ya I could do one of my famous happy dances...'do believe I will!!!
It's great that ya got away for a bit before all the total craziness 'round the book begins.
Me?? Pretty borin' but busy 'round here. Soybeans are in the ground, that's a big deal. Sorghum is bein' planted right now. Calves need to be weened and cattle need to be sold.
I killed a copperhead last night in the yard. Me in my cute little biker shorts donned in Farm Boys knee high barn boots, leather gloves with rake and shovel in hand. I have a system. Heeehehee!!!
Good to have ya home sweetie.
God bless and have an awesome week!!! :o)

Laura - I think the designer did a great job. I just started reading about Cassie :)
Nezzy - OMG! That's scary...snakes can kill you. You be careful. I want you around for many more Nezzy Happy Dances :) Can you tell I'm a City Woman?
Very cool. Congrats on that, and I look forward to hearing more about it.
The cover looks fantastic and the story sounds great.
Having my own ex-Fire Captain and current Dept. Safety Officer at home I can't wait to read your story!
