Something for Everyone ... A 3-Ring Circus!
Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of FUN STUFF in this week's post. So let's get to it.
Blog Break
Yes, I'm taking another blog break for the month of April. I'll also be spending less time on Facebook and Twitter, but I'll still be at each a couple of times a week. You may also see me pop up with a comment on a few of the A-Z blogs every once in a while. Some of them sound too cool to miss!
Why am I taking a break? Read on!

Melissa Maygrove's Cover Reveal for COME BACK
I'm so thrilled to be participating in my friend's cover reveal for her debut novel. I know just how excited she is, and I'm sending her loads of good wishes for a huge success!
Sometimes a single choice alters the course of a person's
life forever.
Left behind by everyone she loves...
Rebecca Garvey had the promise of a California future
dreams are made of, until the wagon train her family was traveling with left
her behind. Now she’s slowly dying in the wilderness, abandoned and stripped of
her self-worth. Once the shock of her desertion turns to embittered despair,
she doesn't want to be found. Then a handsome stranger challenges her
convictions and changes her mind.
Headed for Texas, chased by the demons of his past...
Seth Emerson knows exactly what he wants. Working to save
for a cattle ranch of his own keeps him busy and keeps his pain buried.
Rescuing a stubborn woman from the hills of New Mexico Territory isn't part of
his plan—but she’s exactly what he needs.
Making greater sacrifices than either of them could
foresee...
Seth and Rebecca set off on a risky journey and a quest
for truth, each healing the other’s love-starved soul along the way. Will they
give in to their growing attraction? Or
will they honor their commitments when Seth returns Rebecca to civilization...
and her betrothed?

nursery patients or shuttling teenagers back and forth to after-school
activities, she's hunched over her laptop, complicating the lives of her
imaginary friends and playing matchmaker. Melissa loves books with
unpretentious characters and unforgettable romance, and she strives to create
those same kinds of stories for her readers.

Guest Bloggers Wanted
I have guest spots beginning late May, and I would love to host you here at the Tiki Hut. Drop me an email at tikihuttime AT gmail DOT com and we'll chat. Or message me on Facebook or Twitter.
Stay Tuned
Depending on when I finish my portion of the edits, you may notice a little cleanup around the old Tiki Hut. No major rehab, just a little spring cleaning. BUT ... my website is undergoing a complete renovation. When I come back, I'll have news of a new contest going on over there starting in May. The site will have the same tired look for a little while before the new one goes live.
No Peeking!!!

And congratulations to Melissa, who I have seen popping up elsewhere. I do love the support that is here in the blogosphere.
Enjoy your break. I'm not participating this year either but will enjoy hopping around and visiting others!

And speaking of Come Back--Melissa's book sound great.
Congrats to Melissa!
Melissa's book sounds great, and the cover is wonderful. :)
Happy editing!
I am editing too, as well as participating in A-Z. Luckily all my A-Z posts are written and scheduled, so I can really focus on the manuscript.
Best wishes from one editor to another!
Some pawfect reasons to take a blog break in April. Especially knowing that your dogs have insisted on more play time. Pawsonally, I wish that silly A to Z would go away forever and then some :)
Nice to see some revealing on here.
Penny, the pawsitive host of the Alphabark Challenge, 2014!
That crawfish thingie sounds fun - hope we get to see photos!
