Words...Words...Candy...and More Words
Okay, I'm sure I was the only one that went way, way overboard in indulging my Trick or Treat candy weakness, right?  I had a whole bowl of yummy chocolate goodness, and a whopping two kiddies showed up at my door.  Jeez!  You can see my dilemma and why I felt inclined to help myself to the mini Twix, Snickers, Kit Kats...etc...  Either way, it's back to the Gym to work off the Sweet tooth before it becomes more like Sweet Love Handles!  I've been hard at work on editing and writing for the last few weeks, and I tell you, the old adage, "Be careful what you ask for..." is chiming in my word overloaded brain.  Still, I wouldn't have it any other way, and I'm blessed with the ability to do what brings me the greatest joy!  The edits for book two in The Match Broker series are done (at least the latest go round is), and my release date is May 14, 2014.  Now it's on to finish up book three in the series.  I've just completed and released my latest holiday novellas on Kindle, A Heart for Christmas, and Two Hearts for Christmas, and combined in print in Love at Christmastime.  I've been receiving great feedback from these Sweet romances.  I wanted these books to have mass appeal.  It was important to me to create a family that everyone could identify with, root for and laugh and cry with.  I believe the Darcys are one of my favorite group of characters to date, and I can't wait to see what they'll prompt me to write next Christmas.  ;)


Autumn has brought lots of excitement in the Watson household.  My son just turned 16 last week!  He's a great young man, so I wanted to indulge him in his one request (Besides the X-Box One he wasn't getting, or the Limited Edition Retro Air Jordan's for $170), to have a sleep over with a few of his buddies.  My daughter cut a deal with me.  If I brought home an Arizona Iced Tea, and Jalepeno Cheetos, she'd be on her good behavior and leave Brandon and friends alone.  A small price to pay for not hearing..."Mom, tell Alyssa to quit bugging us before I kill her!!"

Thanks to Aleve, flannel pajamas, and a few chick flicks from the Watson Vault, I was set for the night, and didn't really mind that my entire house shook from the boys playing X-Box on surround sound.  The boys were in the house, and not Lord knows where, doing who knows what.  Which reminds me a lot of my teenage years.  My friends and I were lucky in that our parents didn't mind us hanging out over each other's houses having get togethers.  I guess their line of thinking was that it was better to know where we all were, as opposed to worrying about our being out running the street doing things we weren't supposed to be doing.  ;)
I guess I really don't mind living out in the country with the cows and being over five miles from the nearest store, and having more strict teenage driving laws.  If Brandon wants to even think about sneaking out of the house to get into mischief, he'll have to do it on horseback!
