Welcome! All aboard for Secret Cravings Publishing
2nd Anniversary Blog Hop!
Thank you for joining me on this stop of the SCP Cruise! I don't know about you, but after the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I needed this little getaway.
One of my favorite escapes when I can't go on vacation is to write! Writing allows me to go places I've always wanted to see or experience. Reading is another favorite escape of mine; when I read, I am transported to another place and time, and when I come back I am refreshed and ready to face the world.
For the most part ...*winks*
One of my favorite escapes was writing Skin Deep, my first erotic novella with SCP! Here is a little peek ...
Emily Monroe, a statuesque high school English teacher, is convinced that getting a tattoo to cover the remnants of her brush with Morphea is the only option left to open the door to self-acceptance, allowing her to finally move on with her life after the devastating diagnosis left more than physical scars in its wake.
Instantly, he recognizes a kindred spirit in Emily, and a
tenuous bond is formed. When the intimidating yet teddy-bear of a man offers
her a glimpse into his passionate side, she is moved by what she sees and takes
a leap of faith. Together they traverse the physical and emotional journey of
freeing themselves of their perceived flaws, an erotic undertaking that proves
to them beauty is only Skin Deep.
If you have a moment to watch the trailer

I've always wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise,So that is my domestic choice. Internationally, I really want to see Australia and New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteI love going to Amish country in PA and hubby did too, but I want to see the Alps and he wants to go to Australia, and I pray we will be able to do that! rhonda_nash_hall@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteI would never survive in Alaska. I hate the cold weather. See you on the trip home.
ReplyDeleteI love traveling and would travel much more, if I could for economic reasons. I do love Italy, Rome is my absolutely favorite of cities. It has so much to discover, old and new, the food, atmoshpere...

ReplyDeleteMy favorite vacation spot would be Israel. Only been there once, but can't wait to go back.
