#SoCS – A fortune

Okay, this is the last time you’re going to hear about this from me–unless I win! Please, if you haven’t already, go and vote for my books in the contest for the Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewers Choice Award. The Magician’s Soul has been nominated in the category ROMANCE/FANTASY/PARANORMAL/SUSPENSE/TIME TRAVEL/HISTORICAL/MAGICAL/WESTERN/NATIVE AMERICAN/GOTHIC

and the series, The Great Dagmaru, is in the category just below it.

I have a fortune.

Not in money, but in the love of my family.

I know I’m fortunate that despite their ages, all three of my sons still live in my house. Yes, two of them need 24/7 support, but I can’t see myself being near as content as I am if they were living elsewhere. And my eldest who supports me when I need it … I know he’s going to move away eventually, but for now I’m grateful.

Would I be better off with money instead of what I have?

No.

I don’t have many things. My furniture needs to be replaced, and my house needs redecorating.

But who needs stuff when you’ve got love?

What Day Is It Anyway? Tuesday, February 8th, 2022

I’m writing this WDIIA post in hopes I’ll remember it’s Tuesday and therefore, tomorrow is Wednesday and I have to write a One-Liner Wednesday post before I go to bed tonight.

I could be writing and scheduling that post now, I guess…

But then where would I be? Probably confused again.

Let’s face it: it doesn’t take much.

Oh, hey! Did you vote for my book and my series yet? I’d really appreciate it if you would. 😀 I stand to win the Paranormal Romance Guild’s Reviewers Choice Award Here’s the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvn1eQbB2t-8PftIfh8ej9CXppQfDq5t0kIhvdLT82B7VAxA/viewform Thank you! *throws you cookies*

I was supposed to have taken Alex to a dentist appointment today in Ottawa, but I postponed it to March. First, because the clinic is in a hospital and I don’t want to go into a hospital right now unless I can’t help it, and second because I don’t want to have to stop anywhere on the way there and the way back. The drive is three hours one way. That’s if there aren’t any convoys slowing things down.

And don’t get me started on the convoys.

I used to work in the area they’re currently occupying. My bus stop was right outside the parliament buildings. It’s usually a nice place to visit …

Yeah, don’t get me started.

I need coffee.

Do you know what day it is?

I have some exciting news!

Both The Magician’s Soul and my series “The Great Dagmaru” are up for awards!

The reviewers at the Paranormal Romance Guild have nominated my book and my series for the 2021 Reviewers Choice Awards.

Here’s their review for The Magician’s Soul:

This is the third and final book in this series and should definitely be read in order. Magic, succubus, incubus, sex, suspense, surprises, secrets and much more so all I can say is WOW

If you have already read book one and two then you know most of the characters, like I said if you haven’t begun this series then stop reading this review and pick up book one The Magician’s Curse and begin the journey into the life of Stephen Dagmaru and all the people that affect his life for good or bad.

Stephen and Herman have returned home to plan for their wedding but her nightmares and her introduction to her father’s alter ego, Mona Lisa may put a damper on the happy occasion. Add in the fact that Herman’s cousin Rudy has arrived with the intention of teaching Herman everything she needs to know about…

I can’t give you the rest of the review without giving you spoilers for Book 2, The Magician’s Blood. If you have read it, check out the rest of the review by Linda Tonis at the link above!

Please vote!

But before you do that, I’d really appreciate it if you’d vote for my books. All you have to do is be logged in to your Google account and click on the buttons below the covers of my books. There are two–one for the book, and one for the series (same cover). You don’t need to choose in every category. The submit button is at the bottom of the form. Here’s the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvn1eQbB2t-8PftIfh8ej9CXppQfDq5t0kIhvdLT82B7VAxA/viewform

Thank you so much!!! 😀

P.S. If you haven’t started reading the series or if you’ve started it and you’re enjoying it, you can get the free prequel, The Magician’s Sire, by signing up here. If you don’t want to receive emails from me, just unsubscribe as soon as you’ve got your book. No harm, no foul. 🙂

The Magician’s Blood is up for an award!!

I’m so excited! Not only has The Magician’s Blood been nominated for the Reviewer’s Choice Award by the Paranormal Romance Guild, my entire series is up for an award too!

The PNR Guild is arguably the place to go to find excellence in paranormal romance. I was so happy last year when The Magician’s Curse won in the category of Gothic romance. This year, they have me in Fantasy-Demons, Devils and Angels, which actually fits better with the sub-genre of the second book.

But in order to win, I need your help. All you have to do is be signed in to your Google account and then go to the following link and vote:

https://www.paranormalromanceguild.com/2018-prg-reviewers-choice-awards-ballot/

My categories are about a third of the way down the page. Make sure you vote in both categories: once for the book and once for the series. You only get one chance to vote per Google account you own, so make it count! Voting ends on January 29th.

I’m thrilled to be nominated! So much so, that to celebrate, I’m going to drop the price of The Magician’s Blood to 99 cents for one day only–tomorrow, which is my birthday!!

Your support is appreciated immensely!
