I've been on Goodreads for awhile now, but I'm sad to say I've never explored Listopia.

I know! What's wrong with me? Sometimes, I just don't know.

I got around to looking at it today and I'm in love. Love, love, love!

So, I'm a sucker for a marriage-of-convenience story (as you may have guessed from reading Legal Ease). Well, looky here! I can go to Listopia and find lists of books that fit that category!

I can even sort the modern day ones from the historical arranged marriages. So neat!

If you haven't played with Listopia yet, go to the "Explore" button on the top right hand side of your Goodreads screen. Select Listopia from the drop down menu and then look for the "Search" box to search lists on the right side.

You can search lists and also add your favorites to a category. Have fun! I'm going back to the lists to find some new reads.

I was thinking about names for characters today and I have to say, I think the name sets up so much about the character.

It brought to mind a name I couldn't have made up if I tried. It couldn't be any more perfect for a leading man if I tried.

Wolf Cutter. That's right. I actually knew a man once named Wolf Cutter. Oh, and to top it off, he was a General. Yes, General Wolf Cutter.

I'm sticking that one in my back pocket for a future book!

What are some other names I want to use someday? Hmmm. I know I want to have a Remy. A female character named Remington who goes by Remy for short.

Let's see. I've got a Laura coming up in a book I'm working on. And, Cade and Shane. They're brothers.

I once met a man named Justin Case. Seriously. Justin Case. He loved to point out the irony of his name. I think I'm gonna skip that one.

Back to writing. I'm working on Jennie and Chad's story while my son naps. Gotta squeeze in the chapters while I can!

Find out about my breakfast of Crow Confit in my guest log post from last week. Thank you for having me, Melissa!

I'm so proud of my friend. He and his dog serve on a search and rescue team that travel around the country doing incredibly hard work during emergencies. He just returned from Oklahoma and I'm sure it wasn't an easy trip.

If you've never stopped to think about what search and rescue handlers and their dogs do, they train tirelessly, study an endless list of topics to be prepared to handle anything that comes up, leave their families and jobs during deployment, wait on standby for hours and sometimes days and then work through exhaustion and emotional stress in the face of natural and other disasters.


Thank you to all of you for all you do. You are truly amazing.
