Favorite recipe I’m a big fan of anything to do with salad. One easy salad recipe that’s perfect for any meal is a spinach and strawberry balsamic salad. This salad only has five ingredients:
1 bag of spinach lettuce
1 pint of strawberries (blueberries can work also)
1 small bag of nuts- almonds works best but even better is honeyed almonds for that extra pizzazz of taste
1 block of feta or blue cheese. Mozzarella also works but doesn’t have that zing of flavor feta or blue cheese has.
1 cup of Balsamic vinaigrette
Mix all these ingredients in a bowl, but add the balsamic vinaigrette last or have it on the side for those who prefer to add their own dressing and serve.
Favorite book of my genre: Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden is one of my all time favorite books in any genre. It’s a near perfect Young Adult and Romance. Annie on My Mind was published in 1982 and still resonates over thirty-five years later. It is a must read, and will leave you crying happy tears.
What I Wish I Had Known Before I Was Published: Trying to get the word out about a book can be hard. Because there are so many books published every day, it can be hard to get your book noticed. One of the best things a soon to be published author can do is establish connections and learn the best ways to promote a book. Advertising and promotion are very important and can help with book sales.
Strangest experience: I can read palms, and a few times when I’ve read palms, especially with people I don’t know well, I find out things about a person that can be shocking. An example of this was when I read the palm for a woman and I asked if at one time she was romantically involved with two brothers at one point. She proceeds to tell me while she was on a cruise she met two brothers, and let’s just say she enjoyed their company at the same time.
The one person he trusted destroyed everything. Trusting again won’t be easy.

I had studied the front of Benny’s shop many times, but now for some reason instead of seeing just two large windows and the too-bright red neon sign, it gave off a welcoming vibe. It wanted me to come inside. Maybe the change was because its owner had invited me in?
I scanned the area, expecting someone I knew to appear, much like Theo had. But other than a few people on the opposite side of the street, it was empty. No one would stop me or convince me not to go inside. I was on my own.
I opened the door and entered, an electronic ding announcing my arrival. The front room was bigger than I expected, very airy and open with pictures of tattoos on the wall and a few chairs and couches near them. There was a rectangular aquarium near the front desk.
Music and some type of buzzing came from behind a burgundy curtain, which I assumed was where people were given their tattoos. I walked to the front desk, ready to call out a hello, when I noticed a pudgy black cat sitting in the middle of the counter.
