This year, I've decided to reduce the prices on two of my most heartwarming romances through the Thanksgiving weekend, in celebration of my favorite holiday!
Why do I love Thanksgiving? Well, it's not because of the turkey because I'm a vegetarian. I never call Thanksgiving "Turkey Day"--that's disgusting. Why should we celebrate the deaths of millions of sentient beings?
Incidentally, despite the fame of Tofurkey, below see an image of the best turkey substitute, hands down:
It tastes amazingly like turkey. My local Whole Foods carries it only during the holiday season--costs about seven bucks. I usually buy several and stash them in my freezer, planning the eat them throughout the year, but they're so good that they go fast.
No, I love Thanksgiving because of what it's actually about--gratitude. My karate sensei used to talk year-round about "having an attitude of gratitude."
He was sooo right! Consider the times in which we live. We are blessed. This is a great time to be born a human. Our life expectancy is the longest it's been. Our safety, despite what the media and politicians tell you, is the greatest it's even been. Though there are wars in faraway places like Yemen, most people in most countries can live secure, peaceful lives.
Sure, there are problems we must tackle: poverty, including homelessness; the USA's broken health-care system; pernicious violence and demeaning of women.
But we can do it, possibly because most of us live safe, secure, healthy lives.
So I have a lot to be grateful for, and I'm passing my bounty along to my readers.

This was my first manuscript, and I'm proud to say that when it was initially published under a previous pen name, Booklist gave it a fine review:
Marti Solis is an accomplished physical therapist who works wonders with severely injured patients, but Jim Wellman is a macho football star who can't seem to get past her cute looks and smart mouth. He's always flirting, and his recovery is hampered by complications from the poor care he received after the injury--by both the team doctor and the hospital where he spent the past eight months.
His career in football is over, but Marti is determined to get him walking again. Jim, however, is his own worst enemy, making injudicious comments to the press and trying to talk Marti into bed at every opportunity until her patience is sorely tried. He understandably resents her seeing him at his most vulnerable even while he craves her undivided attention on a more personal level.
...a very enjoyable contemporary romance between a major sports figure and the therapist whose skill is all that stands between him and life in a wheelchair.

Best of luck with Secret Father; I have not gotten to it yet, although I have it on my tablet.
ReplyDeleteI have eaten a lot of Quorn over the last few years. I like the 'ground' type, which I teriyaki or cook with pomegranate molasses and then toss into a salad for a full meal. The roasts taste like Jennie-o frozen turkey roasts.
My local large supermarket carries the roasts and other Quorn products all through the year. You might try ordering it through yours.
Thanks for the cooking tip and the support, Tonette. Pomegranate molasses? I'll have to find that and try that.
