It's been weeks of sleepless nights, harried hours, sad and treasured moments. We'd been cherishing each and every day, taking care of my sweet mother. Through all her trials and suffering, this brave woman never complained, except for time wasted visiting doctors, in fact, she'd only mentioned she'd have a headache now and then. 

The malignancy was severe, filling her lungs making it almost impossible to breathe, even the oxygen barely helped. But when asked by us or the nurses that came to the house, she'd say, "I'm breathing fine. No pain. I'm good."

She passed peacefully on June 12th. 

I'd like to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers. This is a part of life. And our family has been extremely Blessed to have Mom for 85 years. 

We are here for a short time, and then go home...that's my faith...

Prah, Constantine, Baryeh Review The Perfect Catch #romance

We're Baaaaack!!!

Summer is working its way into Buffalo, New York, and soon, people will be vacationing. And our team picked a sweet romance that is suitable for laying on a sandy beach.

Her Perfect Catch

by

K.L. Brady

Melanie is a struggling, nerdy sports writer with the power to change Jet's image. 

Jet is a bad-boy NFL star receiver with the power to change Melanie's career. 

Dylan, Melanie's sexy best friend, has the power to throw a monkey wrench in everybody's plans. 

When the three connect in a chance meeting at the Super Bowl, none of their lives will ever be the same.

Cathrina's Review:

The blurb basically says it all. And within the pages of this sweet novel you'll become involved and sympathize with Melanie and her struggles. It's not that simple being a woman sportswriter on a blog. A blog that can make or break an athletes career. 

While I never leave spoilers, I liked this romantic triangle, and a little more than halfway through I was a bit surprised where it was going. 

Now head over to read Nana Prah's and Empi Baryeh's reviews.

June 6 question - What's harder for you to come up with, book titles or character names?

Book Titles!!! 

Prior to publication, I change the title of my manuscipts all the time. Other author's book titles are extremely catchy, and I can't seem to find that catchy hook, at least I don't think I do. 

I enjoy coming up with character names. That is loads of fun for me. 

***

I just finished editing my new manuscript for my agent and sent it back to her. And, typical for me, I sent her the wrong copy...duh!! But, I did finally send her the right copy. **fingerscrossed** that she likes it. 

Besides editing, I haven't had any time to add any words to my WIP. 

Do you have an insecurity this month? Do you have problems coming up with a title for your stories or characters?

This week I'm celebrating Life. Sunday is my daughter's baby shower. Her due date is July 26th, and we're so excited!!!

I'd like to thank everyone sending prayers for my mother in the past. I'd like to ask, again, to send a prayer or thought of mercy. She's now under Hospice care. It's all part of life, and we're blessed to have her for 85 years...plus...

I left yesterday to visit my son in Pennsylvania for the weekend. I haven't seen them and baby Charlotte since Christmas.  

I hope everyone will have a nice weekend.
