TINY TINY #CALAMARI. I don’t know where the #sevenfish tradition started from, but in Italy I don’t recall ever having seven fish Christmas Eve menu...at best three or four. Anyway, my choices are limited in #Oklahoma, and I gave up scrubbing those “little neck clams” that look like they were birthed from a whale. So spaghetti with shrimp and #friedcalamari it is! Did you cook tonight? Are you just chilling? If you are missing a family member, I hope you have some good friends or family to count on. If you’re not feeling the holiday spirit, don’t be too hard on yourself. Let’s live these last few days of 2018 as a time to reflect and start over. If you need someone to talk to, my inbox is open. You are amazing, smart and beautiful. If this year wasn’t kind to you, we get to start over in a handful of days. #yougotthis #2019 #youfirst #christmaseve #christmasevemenu https://www.instagram.com/p/BryxdculWyH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bmil0fp4ahyc

“I had a smile on my face almost the entire time I was reading this story.” - Ankita, reviewer I had a smile on my face the entire time I was WRITING this story and it almost pains me to leave these characters behind. I could live in their little world forever, but I can’t wait to finish a #wip I started earlier this year and a #secretproject that’s not my usual genre. If you’re looking for a fun read to cozy up to, you should grab this one. #romancenovel #authorsofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BrbvcyAFEOd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mkuuenuyv9jy

“Still in love with the apartment?” he teases, and I make a face. “What exactly are you hinting at?” I ask, and he lets out a laugh, his eyes bright with amusement. He puts his hands in his pockets, and relaxes, slouching his shoulders a little. “Is this your way of asking me if I’ve experienced any paranormal activity?Oh, yeah. I haven’t had a chance to tell you. There’s a ghost who visits me every night. I haven't been getting much sleep but all in all… I can’t really complain," I tell him with a knowing look, and his face falls immediately. He looks pale, and I almost feel sorry I lied. Almost. “You’re joking,” he tells me, jaw taut, a panicked look in his eyes. “Not so funny now, is it?” #FREE on #KINDLEUNLIMITED #linkinbio #romcom #romancenovel #bookstagram @theimageapothecary https://www.instagram.com/p/BrYD_sXFJ36/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xnhkks3gbq75

I’M LOVING the early reviews on #EnchantedbyYou and I’m so happy people are falling in love with #NewMexico! I’ve been a fan of this gorgeous state for years! Plus, one of my favorite of 2018 was #TinfoilHeart by @daisyprescott. There is SO MUCH BEAUTY in #NewMexico, I definitely need more #romancenovels that take place in the #landofenchantment. Anyone up for a #roadtrip? I’m ready! #blueskies #purplesunsets #wanderlustromance #authorsofinstagram #bookstagram @bookbeau #bookstagrammer #romancebooks #kindleunlimited #newrelease #kindle #albuquerque #secondchanceatlove https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8rdRUlJo4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cwcs42u0zc9f

“Still in love with the apartment?” he teases, and I make a face. “What exactly are you hinting at?” I ask, and he lets out a laugh, his eyes bright with amusement. He puts his hands in his pockets and relaxes, slouching his shoulders a little. “Is this your way of asking me if I’ve experienced any paranormal activity?” The sound of his laughter stirs something in my chest, a happy feeling I haven’t felt in so long. I don’t miss the looks I’m getting from the women he was talking to. Also, I just can’t miss the opportunity to tease him in return. “Oh, yeah. I haven’t had a chance to tell you. There’s a ghost who visits me every night. I haven't been getting much sleep but all in all…I can’t really complain," I tell him with a knowing look, and his face falls immediately. He looks pale, and I almost feel sorry I lied. Almost. “You’re joking,” he tells me, a panicked look in his eyes. “Not so funny now, is it?” *** Enchanted by You comes out in FOUR DAYS! It’s a second chance at love romance with a lot of humor and swoon. I dare you not to fall in love with these characters and the gorgeous #NewMexico setting! #newrelease #comingsoon #romancenovel #startingover #landofenchantment #bookstagram #kindle #kindleunlimited #authorsofinstagram #tarotcards by #wanderingmermaid on @etsy https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq5ReCKlJLJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19ubuz6ub1p4p
