warned him when they first started dating that I would be none too happy with
him if he hurt Elise. Not that I have a thing for her. Sure, that kiss when we
were kids was the hottest moment of my life, but that’s just because it was a
first. She’s like a sister to me now.</em><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p><o:p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"><b> </b></span></o:p></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"><b>Elise Scofield is making a

close, “two straws in a soda” is my mom’s weird way of putting it. We’ve gotten
over that awkwardness of having kissed a long time ago, and fallen into an easy
brother-and-sister-type of relationship. He’s the best. And who knows? He might

That's how good I think this piece is. From Romance Gem author, Liz Flaherty's blog, Window Over the Sink, which is an excellent blog to follow, by the way, here is Hold Fast to Dreams... <br /><br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-MHMVA1N6fAtCTShHBRC7LJ5kTYiFqpICndIg6mgm3IM_JyaZJvPTnLK8lhnGNDa9kK2GI2K0f8Pn9Oodw3JtSWmMnMjpeJM-k3arxg3e0yAGl5VSaXLcvN1bt6oM_oNOd42q52hCn0dmiM-Oup8jQLWyDPSv5e2wjNDU0XXldzSrGUPR5mOAFR6FDA/s400/Back-to-School-Poems-31.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="332" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-MHMVA1N6fAtCTShHBRC7LJ5kTYiFqpICndIg6mgm3IM_JyaZJvPTnLK8lhnGNDa9kK2GI2K0f8Pn9Oodw3JtSWmMnMjpeJM-k3arxg3e0yAGl5VSaXLcvN1bt6oM_oNOd42q52hCn0dmiM-Oup8jQLWyDPSv5e2wjNDU0XXldzSrGUPR5mOAFR6FDA/w532-h640/Back-to-School-Poems-31.png" width="532" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: xx-large;">This came mostly from 2019. The past week or two, I've been buying school supplies here and there, worrying about Covid in the schools, about how kids are bullied, teachers are bullied, and pubic education is under constant fire from the same people who are holding the fire extinguishers behind their backs and saying "Gotcha!"</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Am I biased? You bet. I have kids who teach and a grandson still in middle school. I'm afraid for the students who may not get what they need in the future, whose school curricula may be built around political platforms instead of the truth, and who have to learn to take cover before they learn the alphabet and "Red Rover, Red Rover..." I worry about teachers ending up having to be armed, because...you know...they don't have enough to do.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">I'm a mom and a nana. I got a little sick writing that. Thanks, again, for opening the Window and for reading it even when you don't agree with it.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Her name was Margaret. In my freshman year, she had someone else grade short stories we wrote, just to give us another outlook. I got great feedback--I held onto that a long time. Great feedback is an immeasurable gift. His name was Gordon. He encouraged.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Her name was Clauda. She taught both English and Latin, and I learned more about words and their origins than I ever would have thought existed.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Her name was Jane. She didn't think I'd EVER learn to type, but I did. Finally. Not well, but well enough that being a writer was much easier than it might have been.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">His name was Joe. He taught Algebra and about life, and when I sold my first book, he brought me a dozen roses.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Her name was Mrs. Sullivan. She was my first grade teacher and she didn't like me, but she let me read with the second graders because I was bored. I was scared to death of her, but I learned. Every day.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">His name was Graham, although I don't think they called him that. He taught Senior English. It may have been my favorite class ever.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">His name was Jerry. He was a heck of a basketball coach, and he taught American History and made me love it. He also gave me a C in it. It's where I learned you don't have to be good at something to learn from it and enjoy it.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">I graduated from high school 54 years ago. The list above is a microcosm of the ones who taught me in those 12 years on the way to graduation. I still remember their names, what they looked like, and things they said to me.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">On November 19, 2019, almost 20,000 teachers went to the State House in Indianapolis. They sang, they chanted, they wore Red for Ed. They carried signs, they met with legislators, they publicized the shame that is our state's stance on public education. My daughter and son-in-law were there. The support our educators received was humbling. The support they provide to their students should be humbling to the lawmakers; unfortunately, it is not.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">I will get off my soapbox now. I realize it's probably not the right place for it. And yet it is. Because of those people up there, I'm a writer. I know about commas and plot and quotation marks. I know that in that 12 years with them, none of them ever told me I couldn't do anything. None of them ever said I wasn't good enough. None of them ever cared where I lived or that I didn't dress as well as other girls. They gave me everything I needed in adulthood's toolbox.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">And I'm still so grateful.</span><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><br style="font-size: xx-large;" /><span style="font-size: xx-large;">To all the teachers and kids and school staff going back to school, have a good week.Be safe. To them and everyone else, be nice to somebody.</span><div><span style="font-size: xx-large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: xx-large;">-Liz Flaherty</span></div>MJ Schillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08921672646433078203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5830995214457106033.post-28928922052884108112022-01-02T11:36:00.002-06:002022-01-03T11:02:50.155-06:00WANNA WIN SOME BOOKS? <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEglV_eUAEiJjtC6SJzdhyVxvcmZjTEgv_6hnScjxRkkHRghkDBr7FR8g1eLRg83K_f4Zijs3CY8vRDJhNw_hVTwgYJn6QrV15R6Ezgbc0YMkHB_OaHa__pvoWed5f_4P340gxhK9N-ORw83YjeS00H5udPTTUC2HwTLmZKKDBsdjJ_bc157raRrua1Slw=s800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEglV_eUAEiJjtC6SJzdhyVxvcmZjTEgv_6hnScjxRkkHRghkDBr7FR8g1eLRg83K_f4Zijs3CY8vRDJhNw_hVTwgYJn6QrV15R6Ezgbc0YMkHB_OaHa__pvoWed5f_4P340gxhK9N-ORw83YjeS00H5udPTTUC2HwTLmZKKDBsdjJ_bc157raRrua1Slw=w640-h640" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><b><div>Calling all readers!

Schiller. </b><br /><br />Zane Sanders, lead singer of Just Short of Chaos, surprised everyone, including himself, when he plucked a fan out of the audience at one of his concerts. <br /><br /><i>I don’t know what possessed me to do it. I’d never done anything like that before. But something about Grace drew me to her. And within minutes of pulling her on stage, I knew I’d made one of the best decisions of my life. Since our drummer Devin’s overdose, I’d felt dead inside. Perhaps for even longer than that. But Grace was fun, sexy—and as I would discover later—good and selfless. And an irresistible magic surrounded us that made me feel alive again. <br /><br />That is, until I blew it. In classic Zane style. Funny thing is, when I first got Grace up on stage, I had no idea what to do with her. Now I have no idea what I’ll do without her. </i><br /><br />Grace Prescott was living out every girl’s fantasy. <br /><br /><i>Only thing is, fantasies ended, and I realized pretty quickly that I didn’t want this one to stop. Zane had a magnetism about him that was more than mere charisma. That was evident the moment I—the girl who normally had to be dragged out onto the dance floor—practically became a pole dancer in his arms. Then it happened. The moment everyone kept referring to as “The Kiss.” But it was all part of the show, right? It didn’t matter that Zane made more than my feet move. He stirred up feelings that scared the crap out of me. The depth of his sadness called out to me even more than his unbelievable sex appeal, and that was saying something. <br /><br />But it could never work between us. He may have come from a small town like me, but he was all rock star now and totally out of my league. I was a flower shop owner, not his saving Grace. </i><br /><br />Are some actions beyond forgiveness or will he be rocked by Grace?<br /><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztVjQ7SsCsunJ4JOKJzVOVfU9AvtDTqYH__mIeXFzX7qMcw6dBd4wH5QWXK8yuI-5lo-IpPq_Ns-5okcC01EoR_JsWX56EhVcZcF5nblsceq9lDcA6wUeCAY6SYaHGhrrbkCwiR4_xQeq/s1200/ROCKED+BY+LOVE+without+the+tat+1200x751.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="751" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztVjQ7SsCsunJ4JOKJzVOVfU9AvtDTqYH__mIeXFzX7qMcw6dBd4wH5QWXK8yuI-5lo-IpPq_Ns-5okcC01EoR_JsWX56EhVcZcF5nblsceq9lDcA6wUeCAY6SYaHGhrrbkCwiR4_xQeq/w400-h640/ROCKED+BY+LOVE+without+the+tat+1200x751.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">When rock star
Raphael Santiago comes to the defense of reporter Mia Love’s cousin, things
heat up in this sizzling, new romance from bestselling author, M.J. Schiller.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">Rock star Raphael Santiago is haunted by the night his
friend Devin died. Maybe because there’s something that no one knows about the
overdose. But when he jumps in the crowd to defend a woman at one of his
concerts, he finds he doesn’t want to keep the secret from her.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">Mia was a tight little
ball of fire, and I was made of combustible material. She misunderstood my
intentions the night we met, but I was given an opportunity to explain the next
day. I wish that was our only miscommunication, but when I discovered she’d written
an inflammatory article about Just Short of Chaos, I thought she was using me
to get a story. The hurt that caused made me say some nasty things. Now I may
have lost her forever.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">Mia Love doesn’t know if Rafe is truly interested in her, or
if she is merely a new plaything for him.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">Oh, there was definitely
a heat between us from day one. Sometimes volatile, sometimes scorching in a
good way. But I’d been burnt before and I was stronger now. No way was I going
to let a rock star break my heart.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">When fate throws them together again, things really start to
heat up.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">But will they figure out how to control their passions or
will their love story end in ashes?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

to some of the other members of Just Short Of Chaos, Dex Rogan had no interest
in getting tangled up in that mess. That is, until he stumbled upon Tatum
backstage.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">Before Tatum, I would
have told you love was for chumps. But I would have been wrong. The moment I
saw her, it was like BAM! This driving urge to be with her was more jarring
than someone smacking me in the face with my drumsticks would be. And every
moment since has just solidified her place in my heart. By the time I found out
she was off limits, it was too late. I was all in.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">Tatum Salvetti doesn’t have time for love. If it can’t be
color-coded or found on the periodic table, she doesn’t need it. But when an
ugly incident drives her into Dex’s arms, she’s shaken enough to step out of
character for once. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">I wasn’t looking for
love that night, I was looking to escape, and Dex was the perfect distraction
from my train wreck of a life. …He was perfect, period. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">But I’m in
astrophysics. I’m not stupid. I knew it wasn’t going anywhere. Even if he
wasn’t just interested in a one night stand, we wouldn’t be able to hide a
relationship from Zane. My brother seemed to still think of me as the
ten-year-old he met when our parents wed. Well, it wasn’t any ten-year-old girl
in Dex Rogan’s bed that night, and if Zane found out about it, he would go
apeshit. I was trying to get away from chaos, not create it.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;">Tatum has sacrificed her whole life for others. But maybe
this time she could think of her own desires. Could Dex’s brand of chaos be
just what she needs?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh186YZ82_dXU1FY_bLhypIzH53g2O9_7Saec7OQyB6REzFJc2i21Ue8dVq8OgT6bwekUpteduRehqBg9LraoLqXyQzDChi52rVHWg1LLfFRtJkxutDiEEbreMuIKywxtwA5SLQRmfi_LBx/s2048/MJS_ROS_1800x2700_revised.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh186YZ82_dXU1FY_bLhypIzH53g2O9_7Saec7OQyB6REzFJc2i21Ue8dVq8OgT6bwekUpteduRehqBg9LraoLqXyQzDChi52rVHWg1LLfFRtJkxutDiEEbreMuIKywxtwA5SLQRmfi_LBx/w426-h640/MJS_ROS_1800x2700_revised.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f768ab; font-size: x-large;">Jericho Tyler was comfortable in his role as the wild man of
Just Short Of Chaos. Different gorgeous women throwing themselves at him every
night? What self-respecting hetero male wouldn’t dream of that? But when
Salvation steps out of his shower and into his life, things start to change.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: #f768ab; font-size: x-large;">Oh, yeah. I knew the
second I saw her that she didn’t belong backstage. And she didn’t belong with a
man like me, for sure. But I didn’t let that stop me from seeing just how far
she was willing to go to keep up her little naughty girl charade. And if she
had something to prove, why not prove it with me?<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f768ab; font-size: x-large;">Salvation Jones was not like the rest of her family. In a
parcel of toe-the-line, conservative preacher’s kids, she stood out like a
piece of her costume jewelry at the Inaugural Ball.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color: #f768ab; font-size: x-large;">I must have had a
far-sighted stork reading the directions for my delivery. I was louder than
they were. More boisterous. I got into more trouble. I’d heard, “Oh,
Salvation,” in my mom’s disappointed voice for so long I began to think the O
stood for Olivia, or something. It’s not like I meant to misbehave, but it just
came naturally to me. I’d tried to be who they wanted; now it was time for me
to truly be myself. They say, “Go big or go home,” so why not start out by
seducing a rock star? And not just any rock star, the luscious, womanizing
Jericho Tyler. Now that was somebody worth sinning for!<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f768ab; font-size: x-large;">Sometimes it takes a bad boy to redeem a good girl. But will
she become his Salvation in the end?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f768ab; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhli8pbUYisAoqlQNosLRIIFi3hz8lPlowkvgHCeH_ouFEptuvEA6XfhifPPjoQoOOxXFPNGgpvP4rgYd5geQ5lofcwNIhOx__iiQj5b0ZeG3pbWwHxzVVoNZG3TOnaqSoVEyZfm5ceJQVd/s2048/LOVE+AND+CHAOS+SERIES+sale+teaser+dominik-scythe-electric+guitar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1245" data-original-width="2048" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhli8pbUYisAoqlQNosLRIIFi3hz8lPlowkvgHCeH_ouFEptuvEA6XfhifPPjoQoOOxXFPNGgpvP4rgYd5geQ5lofcwNIhOx__iiQj5b0ZeG3pbWwHxzVVoNZG3TOnaqSoVEyZfm5ceJQVd/w640-h390/LOVE+AND+CHAOS+SERIES+sale+teaser+dominik-scythe-electric+guitar.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: white; font-size: x-large;">Get the LOVE AND CHAOS SERIES here:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: white; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: xx-large;">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FJ8KYX8</span></p>

As many of you know, when I get near an end of a book, I get obsessive and everything else goes by the wayside, email, marketing, cleaning....</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKRjt3f7bDe1-j63LfmncgPMmLZ0ouwyDkSS8obw7F8ZIMjTXADVT1uPmR6VLvjDgAAThGB63pUo3YBtuUv6tl0LlkSqyt1fESWUBTuh9-CdJCtq-aUeKZVLfoQhCSmLBY1FT4j3dfV6ps/s2048/Refined+Logo+Whiteout+Stroked+ME.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1583" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKRjt3f7bDe1-j63LfmncgPMmLZ0ouwyDkSS8obw7F8ZIMjTXADVT1uPmR6VLvjDgAAThGB63pUo3YBtuUv6tl0LlkSqyt1fESWUBTuh9-CdJCtq-aUeKZVLfoQhCSmLBY1FT4j3dfV6ps/s320/Refined+Logo+Whiteout+Stroked+ME.png" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Then, once it's sent off, I play catch-up on all the things I've ignored. Yesterday that was cleaning out what our family calls "the lazy freezer" and the refrigerator. We call it the lazy freezer because we have a big upright freezer in the basement storage room, and when one doesn't want to walk the fourteen steps to it, you shove it in our side-by-side freezer, which makes it the lazy freezer. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Here are a few things that were disturbing in this endeavor. If you have a weak stomach, you'll want to stop here. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;">1) The things that were long expired ~ First, I'll show you a picture of the item that we'll call the runner-up.

possessed me to do it. I’d never done anything like that before. But something
about Grace drew me to her. And within minutes of pulling her on stage, I knew
I’d made one of the best decisions of my life. Since our drummer Devin’s
overdose, I’d felt dead inside. Perhaps for even longer than that. But Grace
was fun, sexy—and as I would discover later—good and selfless. And an
irresistible magic surrounded us that made me feel alive again. <o:p></o:p></b></span></i></div>

fantasies ended, and I realized pretty quickly that I didn’t want this one to

evident the moment I—the girl who normally had to be dragged out onto the dance
floor—practically became a pole dancer in his arms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then it happened. The moment everyone kept
referring to as “The Kiss.” But it was all part of the show, right? It didn’t
matter that Zane made more than my feet move. He stirred up feelings that
scared the crap out of me. The depth of his sadness called out to me even more
than his unbelievable sex appeal, and that was saying something.<o:p></o:p></b></span></i></div>

people behind those gilded doors had their own kinds of problems. But all of
these people occupying seats in the heart of this building or swaying drunkenly

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hello, All! It's been many a moon since I've blogged, but that's because I've been working on writing some great books for you. Well, that and Life. Life happens. Which is good, because it also makes me a better writer--but I digress. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Anyway...I wanted to share with you the story behind my new release, SATAN, LINE ONE. Like much from this series, the book ties in with my real life. Back when I was a lunch lady, there was a coworker of ours who could be, well...a bit uptight. We grew to love her, but she could make things challenging at times. I believe it was my best friend--the inspiration for my character Sam--who gave her the title "Satan." (Possibly a little unkind, but the reason it was funny was because she was so <i>not</i> Satan, but we liked to exaggerate things for our amusement. For instance, we liked to say the Athletic Club was evil because they left messes behind that we had to clean up. They then became the subject to blame for anything from global warming and terrorism, to the reason for the stain in the sink, and everything in between.) Then, I think I was the first one to say, when our rigid, domineering coworker would call, "Satan, line one." Someone added that this would be a good book title and I was off to the races! When I began the first book in the series, TO HELL IN A COACH BAG, it only seemed natural that SATAN, LINE ONE would find its way into the DEVILISH DIVAS SERIES. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Now--I had a title, where was the story? Out of the title, a character was inspired, one Josephine Compton. I wanted another character who could have a nickname like a men's name, like Sam (Samantha), Dani (Danielle), Max (Maxine), and Alex (Alexis). Enter Jo! Jo (Josephine) took on the rigidity of our coworker, but why was she like that? Jo's backstory fell into place easily. She was from a large, chaotic family. The kind who put the fun in dysfunctional. In order to reinstate order in her life, Jo developed a disciplined, rule-following personality. To stick out in a family where it was easy to be overlooked, she became a high-achiever and a principal at a young age. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Being a new principal, or a new boss in any setting, has its challenges. A lot of people (myself included) don't like change. We become comfortable with the status quo and change throws us off-balance. That being true, anyone walking into a new role in this sort of environment is already disliked, even before they slap a name plate on their office door. Long before they've made their first decision, they are seen as the enemy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Who, then, to pair with our little anal-retentive principal? Hello, Killian Murphey! Killian is the anti-Jo. He is laid-back to the point that it is a detriment to his growth. How did he get that way? His parents died and left him an orphan, shuttled off from his home in Ireland to an uncle's in the United States. Like his father, Killian was easy-going and comfortable in his role as a bartender. Until he finds someone who inspires him to reach further and become more than what he is settling for. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When Jo walks into his bar, Killian is smitten right from the start. The more he learns about this naive, lonely woman, the more he falls in love with her. He watches on as Dani and Sam try to coach Jo--or Josie, as they sometimes call her--in the fine art of picking up men. Making Sam and Dani see him as a contender for Jo's heart then becomes the hurdle that Killian needs to leap. In his mind a lowly bartender is no match for a woman of Josephine's statue. Thank goodness Jo doesn't see things the same way. But in her eyes, she's no match for his charm, good-looks, and worldliness. Like most good partnerships, the two fill in each other's gaps, and help one another to grow.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Well, now you've seen how it all started, you need to see how things end up. Pick up SATAN, LINE ONE at the following retailers and give it a read. Jo and Killian are dying to tell you their story! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And then be on the lookout for Book Five, PITCHFORK IN THE ROAD. When Zoe and Zack are reunited as adults, how can they overcome the pain caused by their breakup? And, with Nick in the picture now, how can Zoe make a choice between her two best friends? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">PITCHFORK is in the development stage with the publisher, and Book Six, A SIN WORTH THE PENANCE, will be a continuation of Killian's story. The devilish divas certainly have a lot to share with you! So hop on over to Amazon--or whatever retailer you prefer--and get started!</span><br />

<b>CHAPTER ONE</b></div>
<br /> <br />Zoe McCord bit her lip, holding her breath and watching the wall as she lay in bed. The shadow of tree branches danced across the paint, created by a streetlight beyond her window. Where was he? She could hardly stand this waiting. It was excruciating. He worked ‘til ten and it was ten-thirty. The Starbucks was only three blocks away. Did he have to walk home? If she only had her phone. But it was sitting on her dad’s dresser. Confiscated. <br /><br /><i>The tyranny around here is driving me crazy. </i></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b>And all for some smartass comment she made to Dani, her new stepmom. Zoe’d been a smartass all her life. This was the first time it cost her a phone. Okay, not the first time, but….<br /><br />She flopped on her side and pulled on a loose thread on the tattered end of the quilt her grandma made her. In the beginning, she’d been happy about the marriage. Ecstatic, really. And she was glad her dad found somebody to spend the rest of his life with. And Dani was pretty awesome. But still…it was weird having some other woman take care of him. She couldn’t say she was jealous, because that would be ridiculous. But she did feel…territorial. <br /><br /><i>Wait. </i><br /><br />Her gaze darted to the wall. She thought she caught just a quick sizzle of light. Had she imagined it? <br /><br />Her eyes widened. Like a fairy ball it zipped in from out of nowhere, cutting through her sheer curtains, and dancing around like a firefly jacked up on Mountain Dew. She’d never been so glad to see the beacon before. Her heart sprung like a pole vaulter seeking the state record and air rushed into her lungs, expanding them to normal proportions. She suppressed a squeal and threw back the quilt.<br /><br /><i>Zack! All luscious six-foot-one, one hundred and seventy-three pounds of him.</i><br /><br />She sighed. Unfortunately, he’d never be hers, so she needed to stop looking at him that way. But, really, who could help it? Blond hair with just a hint of wave in it, Golden Boy, captain of the football team, fabulous body…. And here she was, his neighbor since childhood, forever caught in the friend zone.<br /><br /><i>Ehh. It could be worse. She did get to spend time with him.</i> <br /><br />She jumped out of bed, grabbed her denim shorts off the floor, and hopped around on one foot, trying to pull them on. She put a hand on the bed to steady herself. She couldn’t be too loud or the Nighttime Nazis/her dad and stepmom, would be on her case. <br /><br />Oh. She needed to signal back. She snatched her flashlight off the bedside table and pointed it at the window. She flipped it on and off in the code they set up when they were eight. But the appropriate signal didn’t flash back. Strange. <br /><br />She moved to the window, skirting her desk so she could get close enough to peer down to the base of the big tree between their houses. Hmm. No Zack. Then she saw his light bobbing around in the backyard, headed for their “clubhouse.” He usually waited for her. Was this a good sign? Or a bad sign? She would find out shortly. Impatient, she jerked on the window. It always stuck because of a bad paint job. It made a loud creak and she cringed, waiting to be found out. After several seconds passed with no footsteps pounding down the hall, she moved the window up as far as it would go, with only a little more squeaking. <br /><br />The breeze wafted in and she inhaled deeply. There it was. The sweet smell of freedom. Grinning, she carefully popped the latches on the sides of the screen and pushed it out of the frame. Tilted at an angle, it was just narrow enough to pull into her room. She put it on the floor, leaning it up against the side of her desk. Rather ungracefully, she climbed onto the rolling office chair in front of the desk, and then stepped up on her math homework. <br /><br />This part always scared the crap out of her. She moved into a sitting position and stuck her legs out the window opening, scootching her backside along the desk until she was poised on the window sill. The wind played with her hair.<br /><br /><i>Don’t do it. Don’t—</i><br /><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b>Shit. She did it. Looked down. She always told herself not to, but did it anyway. The grass and bushes beneath her swayed and blurred in her vision and she put a hand over her stomach which was trying to make a quick escape of its own. Or at least the contents thereof. It wasn’t that far down, really. But it sure felt like a long way when nothing was holding you up but a four-inch-wide window sill. <br /><br /><i>Do it for Zack.</i></b></span></div>

<b style="color: magenta; font-size: xx-large;">This, too, she always did. It was part of the ritual. Tell herself to not look down, do it anyway. Feel like she was going to hurl, and then motivate herself with the thought of Zack. She reached out to what she called the perfect branch….</b></div>

<b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Hey, all! Today I have the honor of participating in a fundraiser celebrating the release of author Eryn LaPlant's newest addition to her FALLING FOR HEROES SERIES, FALLING FOR SACRIFICE! Eryn knows that there are all types of heroes in this world, so she has teamed up with the CABLE Project out of Drogheda, Ireland, to raise money in support of Hannah the Warrior Princess.</span></b></div>
<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><br /><br /><br /><br />Hannah The Warrior Princess is a 16 year old girl with Apert Syndrome and has been in the hospital for quite some time and would love to get home. She is a hero all on her own, but the amount raised will take a lot of financial stress away from the family and will help them achieve their goals of adapting their house for Hannah's return and in purchasing wheelchair accessible van. For more information on Hannah, please visit: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Hannah-The-Warrior-Princess-1419434105048542/">https://www.facebook.com/Hannah-The-Warrior-Princess-1419434105048542/</a><br /><br /><br />To help you join in support of Hannah, Eryn has set up a raffle with prizes donated by authors and others. Check it out here: https://rafflecreator.com/pages/23134/falling-for-heroes-fundraiser<br />For as little as $2 you can help to bring a child home to their family, and possibly win a prize! Won't you help us? Be a hero today and get some raffle tickets!</span></b></span><div>

Four Midwest lunch ladies on a cross-country road trip...<br />
<br />
DANIELLE~When a twist of fate reunites the widowed Dani with the hot roadie she met at a concert, will she have the guts to open up to Tucker and perhaps start a new relationship? <br />
<br />
SAMANTHA~Wild divorcee Sam discovers Kyle, the Canadian referee she met at the same concert, is in town for a Colorado Avalanche game. Although Kyle's logged some serious ice time, Sam's cold shoulder may put his heart in perma-freeze.<br />
<br />
ALEXIS~What can save Alex's marriage when her unemployed hubby's driving her crazy? <br />
<br />
MAXINE~When mid-life hormones make Max a sex-starved loon, can she ever feel close to her man again when he doesn't put out?<br />
<br />
Two women whose marriages are on the rocks~Will time apart from their spouses help them weather their matrimonial storms?<br />
<br />
Two single women who equate love with pain~Will they open themselves up to new possibilities?<br />

Four friends~Could their destination be Love? Or are they simply headed to Hell in a Coach bag?</b></span></div>

"Sam, what's going on? Did Kyle do something?"<br />

Her chin started to quiver, and then she wailed, "No!" She flung herself on my chest, sobbing. I patted her awkwardly on the back and wondered if I clicked my heels three times, could I just go home.

Though she is in love with her husband, her insatiable appetite is making her miserable.<br /><br /><i>Could their destination be Love?</i><br /><br />Two women whose marriages are on the rocks. Will time apart from their spouses help them weather their matrimonial storms?<br /><br />Two single women who equate love with pain. But when a twist of fate reunites Dani with her roadie, will she have the guts to open up to Tucker and perhaps start a new relationship? And when Sam discovers that Kyle, the Canadian referee she met at the same rock concert, is in town for a Colorado Avalanche game, she may find that her own broken heart has a chance at mending. <br /><br /><i>But even Shakespeare knew “the course of true love never did run smooth.”</i><br /><br />What can save Alex’s marriage when her hubby’s driving her crazy? How can Max ever feel close to her man again when he never puts out? And just when Dani and Tucker are getting close, dreams of Darren’s death begin to haunt her. Can she move past them? And what about Sam? Although Kyle’s logged some serious ice time, her cold shoulder may put his heart in perma-freeze. <br /><br /><br /><i>Is happiness around the next corner? Or are these four women simply headed TO HELL IN A COACH BAG?</i></span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i><span style="color: magenta;">It was one of those mornings for newspaper-writer/photographer Hope Creswell.</span> </i></b><br /><br /><span style="color: #fff2cc;">The alarm clock didn’t go off and she cut her finger on broken glass. Not one to let such things get her down, Hope headed into her assignment meeting with excitement, only to leave it stunned. Her new assignment is to trail the sensational rock-star, Chase Hatton, for an article. Chase Hatton. No one knows the power that name holds for her. No one knows of the childhood friendship that blossomed into romance, only to abruptly die on the night of Hope’s senior prom. No one </span><br /><span style="color: #fff2cc;">knows of the ache still filling her heart. </span><br /><br /> <br /><b><i><span style="color: magenta;">What starts out for Chase Hatton as an average publicity trip to Chicago suddenly becomes complicated.</span></i></b><br /><br /><span style="color: #fff2cc;">His manager tells him Hope Creswell will be interviewing him in the morning.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #fff2cc;">He spent eight years trying to forget Hope, and now she would be in his penthouse in a matter of hours?</span><br /><br /><br /><b><i><span style="color: magenta;">When Chase opens the door to his penthouse and finds Hope on the opposite side, his heart begins beating a rhythm the rocker has yet to capture in any of his music.</span> </i></b><br /><br /><span style="color: #fff2cc;">The smoldering embers of their former romance are fanned by their mere proximity. Will they both be burned again? And what about Hope’s boyfriend, Phillip? Where does he fit into the picture that Hope is developing?</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /><br />I have decided to take on a commission on the north side of our house in an area known as The Ivy Bed. As you can see here, the area is quite broad, running from the base of our house to the property line, thus encompassing the entire side yard. On the surface, the rolling swells of The Ivy Bed appear serene, safe--seductive, even. But if you look closer, there is evil afoot. Evil I have vowed to destroy. The evil commonly known as...WEEDS! <br /><br />Though the mission is foolhardy, and the odds are stacked against me, I have nonetheless taken it on. I believe in my heart of hearts that the ivy deserves to roam freely in its bed, unobstructed by weeds or wayward tree sprouts. I spent my initial day walking the line. Analyzing, strategizing, gathering my courage. Tomorrow I enter the zone.<br /></b></span><br />

Though he is on The Outskirts, and my work is in the heart of The Ivy Bed, we are within shouting distance. Okay, talking distance...but I can't touch him. Well, I could, with a long stick, but none are to be found. </span></b></span></div>

It is a relatively safe commission, as the Weeds near the borders are sparse. But God help him should he cross over into The Neighbor's Lawn. Things would not fare well for him there.<br /><br />The removal of Weeds has begun. They do not go willingly. I must avoid the many landmines in the form of Hawthorn Needles. Hawthorn Needles contain a venom that makes pain radiate throughout any area it punctures. The suffering lasts for days after injection. </b></span></div>

The coach dropped us off near Trinity College for a couple of hours and we went to see the Book of Kells and the library, built in the 18th century. This is still a working college so there were students everywhere and you did feel like you were walking across a college campus instead of in the heart of Dublin. The Book of Kells is a ninth century highly illustrated book of the gospels discovered in a, you guessed it, peat bog. (How it wasn't lost to the world is truly a miracle. The picture below is from the library's Long Room. George Lucas wanted to copy its design to use as the Jedi library, but they refused to let him take pictures so he simply recreated it from memory. Over 200,000 old books are housed here.</b></span></div>

<b><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">We had a Farewell Dinner (I had Sticky Caramel Pudding, which was awesome!) with wine and a toast to our tour guide. In the morning our bus took us to the airport. Customs was easy, I slept most of the flight home. We retrieved our car from hotel parking and had a fairly eventless ride home. A spectacular sunset welcomed us. It was a wonderful trip, but always good to arrive our your own doorstep! </span></b></div>

We had open-faced ham sandwhiches and chicken salad and these Guinness brownies that were out of this world. The tables were beautifully decorated and there was a wide variety of art around their home, very eclectic collection.

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><b>We continued north to slip into Northern Ireland and find out how Belleek Porcelain is made. In 1849 John Caldwell Bloomfield, an amateur mineralogist, inherited property in the County of Fermanagh in Northern Ireland which encompassed the village of Belleek. (Wouldn't it be nice to inherit a village?) Like Henry Mitchell, he was concerned for his tenants during the Great Potato Famine, so he had a survey done of the land and found it was rich in minerals. <br /><br /><br />So Bloomfield had the feldspar, kaolin, flint and waterpower that was necessary to make the ceramics. The clay he made was incredibly thin and pearly, but deceptively strong. He had the materials, but not the artist's skill to form it. He searched out Robert Armstrong at the Worchester Porcelain Co. Once Armstrong saw the beautiful white ceramic material, he signed on. Now they just needed a backer. Enter banker David McBirney, an acquaintance of Armstrong's. The only thing left to acquire was rail service. Bloomsfield rallied and lobbied and soon they had trains that brought in the coal for the kiln, and took the finished product to customers far and wide. I love stories like this when someone is so resourceful and overcomes obstacle after obstacle to reach their dream. John Caldwell Bloomfield put Belleek on the map and made Ireland one of the top porcelain distributing countries in the world.</b></span><div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><b>Tuesday ~ We drove to Clifden for a bit of shopping, then on to Kylemore Abbey. Although some of the online reviews said, "Just take a picture from the road. Don't bother to pay the admission and go in," we loved it here and wished we'd had more time. But we like history, and might be somewhat unusual in that way. We started by eating lunch and browsing the gift shop for souvenirs. After finishing, we headed up to the abbey.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><b>Margaret and Henry Mitchell honeymooned in Connemara and fell in love with the region. When Henry inherited a sizable amount of money from his cotton merchant father he left his career in medicine. He and Margaret built Kylemore Castle between 1867-1871, along with the gardens. It took one hundred men four years to complete and has 33 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 4 sitting rooms, a ballroom, billard room, library, study, school room, smoking room, gun room and various other offices and domestic staff residences for the butler, cook, housekeeper and other servants. It was a sort of experiment, to reclaim bogland and to encourage others to do the same, during the time when locals were recovering from the Great Potato Famine. He provided work, shelter, and later a school for his workers' children. He represented Galway in the House of Commons for 14 years.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><b>Tragically, Margaret died in 1875, at the age of 50, after contracting a fever on a visit to Egypt. Henry was heartbroken and built a church to memorialize her. </b></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">In 1903 he sold the castle to the Duke and Duchess of Manchester. They only stayed at Kylemore Castle a few years, but in that time they made extensive changes, including changing the magnificent ballroom into the kitchen. Their lavish lifestyle was financed by the Duchess' father, American businessman Eugene Zimmerman. </span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"> The property was heavily mortgaged due to gambling debts that were incurred and on the death of Zimmernan in 1914 the property was taken over by a London banker. It lay dormant until 1920 when Benedictine sisters who had been forced to flee Ypes, Belgium in World War I, purchased the estate.

<b><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"> driver had to take the bus through this opening. He slowed a little bit, but there was literally an inch on either side. If he had even wavered a little... One thing about Irishmen, in my experience, is they drive like madmen. Martin, our black taxi tour driver in Belfast went up over a curb at one point, and when we came back that direction he stopped, got out of the car, and returned with the hub cap that had fallen off when we hit the curb. Gotta love it!</span></b><br />

When Cromwell's forces landed here he said something to the effect of, what is this country? What's the good of it? There are no trees to hang anyone from, no water to drown them in, and no earth to bury them in. He was a real sweetheart. Some people describe this area as being like landing on the moon. We stopped along the road and our tour guide scrambled up the rock, calling for us to follow. It was a challenge. We climbed through this crevice and he would tell you where to step. "Left foot, there, to the right a little." Coming down was even more challenging. He was like, "Now just drop." And I was like, "Dude, that's a long way down. Maybe not for you, but for me.

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><b>So when I went to bed I tried not to think about the fact that we were in a castle and it was probably haunted, and I fell asleep fine. But in the middle of the night it sounded like someone was in our room stepping on stiff wrapping paper. <i>Crinkle, crinkle, crinkle. </i>It was so close! I held my breath and listened.

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><b>I'm pretty sure ghosts don't use toilets and that the sound I heard was the paint crinkling on the ceiling as someone walked above. But, since I was awake, I got up to use the bathroom. On my way back to bed the bathroom door swung to with a loud, creepy creak. I ran the last several feet and launched myself over Don and into bed. Luckily I was able to fall back to sleep pretty quickly and had a good night's sleep... </b></span></div>

</b></span> <span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"><b>Back on the bus, we took off for the Ring of Kerry. On all of our trips I tried to get a picture of a sheep, but it is very difficult when you are whizzing by on a coach and your camera has a delay on it. I would get a sign, or a tree, or a truck, etc. I burned through a dozen batteries because I kept my camera on, waiting for that perfect shot. The roads around the Ring of Kerry are curvy and hilly. Our driver, Patrick, who had to be in his eighties, was not intimidated at all. The speed limits were ridiculous! It would say 100 km/hour around some of the tightest curves and down some of the narrowest lanes. Fast as Patrick flew, we never neared those speeds! But on this day he went fast enough to make several of the passengers physically ill.I felt bad for them. But the Ring of Kerry was glorious! It is a circuitous route along the coast of southwest Ireland in County Kerry.</b></span><br />

After this we climbed down the hill and ate lunch at the Rock House (really good beef stew and chocolate cake!) We bought batteries from a sweet older lady in a gift shop. They didn't last long as I think they had been in the shop about as long as she had been. </div>

Friday morning, the first day of our tour ~ we left the Westbury behind and moved to our new hotel, The Brooks. Since it was only a couple of blocks away, we rolled our suitcases on over. We met Steven, our tour guide, and checked our bags before hoofing it to Starbucks again for breakfast. We weren't due back until 2ish, so from there we headed to the National Museum which had an excellent exhibition on Kingship and Sacrifice. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"><b><br />
</b></span> <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"><b>The collection was called that because during ancient times human sacrifice was part of the rituals involved in kingship. Part of the exhibition is a replica of a cauldron found in a Danish bog. Originally done in silver this cauldron shows scenes of human sacrifice, a god-like figure holding victims over a cauldron. It also depicts other rituals of kingship and sovereignty and what is believed to be Celtic deities.</b></span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"><b><br />

The bogs of Ireland have produced perfectly preserved bodies that are centuries old. It was incredible, really, to see a fur cape and leather vest in immaculate shape, raised from a bog where it had been since somewhere between 400 BC and 200 BC. How they cleaned the muck and grime off them without ruining the pieces...well, it has to be quite an art! On top of that, there were burial pots that some archaeologist or historian had pieced together, bit by precious bit. I think we look at these things on display and think, cool, but kind of take it for granted. Look at it harder and think about the person sitting there with a bunch of cracked shards of pottery trying to see the whole and spending hours putting what they have together to make what you're seeing.</b></span><br />

Scientists could tell you that Gallagh Man (County Galway) generally ate a high protein diet but his last meal was cereal and milk. (This blows my mind that they know what this Iron Age man's last meal was!) Using modern equipment like MRIs and CT scans they could tell you how each person died, and they all were gruesome deaths. They could tell you which were defensive wounds, how the blow to the head was likely to have happened, which stab wounds came first. It was kind of creepy knowing what these people had gone through in their last moments. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"><b><br />
</b></span> <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"><b>They could tell what kind of status they held by looking at their clothing or accessories. For example, one necklace found in a burial site had lapis and other rare stones that had to be brought from overseas, indicating a person of wealth. Clonycavan Man was discovered in County Meath in February 2003 while workers were cutting peat. His hair appeared to have a gel in it to slick it into a type of mohawk. Ingredients in the gel were traced to France or Spain, so the man must have been of wealth to have acquired such items. Deep axe wounds to the skull indicate he was brutally murdered about 2300 years ago. Oldcroghan Man (found on Croghan Hill, Offaly) was quite tall for his time period (6'6). He had neatly manicured nails and was also murdered. I found it all fascinating. <br />

Like many other tourists, we purchased t-shirts at the shop and a mirror for our bar. </div>

Back at the hotel we met a couple named Douglas and Barbara at the Welcome Reception. This was our first meal at our 5 star hotels and like the rest we had a menu to choose between three appetizers, three entrees, and three desserts. </div>

The rest of our group headed to bed but Don and I went back to O'Neal's for some Irish music and dancing. The place was packed so I couldn't get good video, but I'll add a little here so you can hear the audio. There was a male and female step dancer and they held a little dance off, which was fun. You can hear a little video of their tapping, but can't really see anything. Of course, they were incredible. </div>

So, finding out that Guinness is so good for you that they give it to you as a new mother or a blood donator, we imbibed in a few, plus some of the wonderful ciders, and Bailey's...and we returned to the hotel to get a good night's sleep before leaving Dublin for our next location...</div>
