😘🥰😍

Congratulations! 🎉👏👍

I bet the Doctor was so sorry. So very, very sorry.

Unless you're traveling in an old-timey blue phone box. Then, no worries. 😉

Ooh-la-la! Just saw the cover art for my next book & it is stunning! Coming soon, a sci-fi adventure I call Indiana Jones meets Romancing the Stone...in space!

Can't wait? Check out my other books w/equally stunning covers!

Time for Love The TimeGuard bracelet molded itself to his wrist with a gentle hiss. It wasn’t so tight as to block bloodflow to his hand, but it came close. The activation light began to strobe.

A black & white cat named Ella stretched out on a floral design rug in a patch of sunlight. Her expression says leave me alone, hooman.

Cat +sun = do not disturb.

LOL! Points deducted if you didn't!

Platform shoes. THE funky footwear of the 70s. I had a pair exactly like these on the cover of my 1976-set coming of age novel MY BICENTENNIAL, and so does the book's narrator, high school senior Deidre Daly.

National Library Week is April 19-25th. I got a head start on the celebration in my April newsletter, in which I wax poetic about my love of libraries & librarians.

I guess a bathroom break is implied and doesn't have to be shown, unless as you say something important will happen there (like a bomb under the sink).

I remember fans of the TV show 24 demanding a scene of Jack Bauer visiting the loo, because no one believed he'd go 24 hours without needing to.

Looking for some comfy, cozy mystery reads? Here ya go....

Love it! If you've got to deal with potty breaks, might as well have it be in an inappropriate place!

If anyone is on Facebook 🥴 and in 20Booksto50k, they got a more detailed explanation of why Draft2Digital made their changes. (Not saying I agree, but I like having information.) www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

Square image promoting Book 2 in the Beryl Blue time travel adventures, It's Been A Long, Long Time. A crowd of people in 1930s clothing gather around a large outdoor movie screen with an image taken from the book's cover, a vibrant pinkish-purple background and the setting sun behind a purplish 3-story building; light spills out of the building's upper floor window, framing the silhouette of a man gazing out. In the foreground, a woman in a summery red dress is looking back anxiously over her shoulder. Above the image is the exclamation, "It's a hit!" and at the bottom is the book's title and a 5 star review quote: "...funny, romantic, sexy, adventurous, clever, and driven by the big-hearted, wise-cracking, and delightful Beryl Blue. Bonus: Hot Guy Sully is in it. Swoon."

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 15C

She took Sully’s arm. Light winked off the thin gold band that circled her third finger. Her put a ring on it finger. My stomach sank to my toes & kept going to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

Now I knew why Sully hadn’t kissed me.

He’d moved on. With a vengeance.

Square image promoting Book 2 in the Beryl Blue time travel adventures, It's Been A Long, Long Time, with a trio of books in various formats (tablet, phone, print). The cover image portrays a vibrant pinkish-purple background and the setting sun behind a shiny new blue 1946 car and a purplish 3-story building; light spills out of the building's upper floor window, framing the silhouette of a man gazing out. In the foreground, a woman in a summery red dress is looking back over her shoulder. At the bottom is the book's title and a picture in the lower left of the author, looking quite ridiculous as she grins and holds a yellow teapot and teacups. At the top of the image is the book's tagline, "fate happens when you're making other plans."

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 15B

Down the block, the deli door popped open. A man wearing an ugly Stetson straw hat stepped out. My belly both clenched & pirouetted. Then sank all the way to my feet.

Sully.

Of course. Fate wouldn’t have it any other way but to throw us together. Time & time again.

A shiny new blue 1946 car is in the foreground of a purplish 3-story building; light spills out of the building's upper floor window, framing the silhouette of a man gazing out.

At the bottom is the book's title (It's Been A Long, Long Time: A Beryl Blue, Time Cop Novel) and at the top of the image is a quote from a 5 star review: "...a story of action, adventure & a second chance at a love that defies time itself."

#TimeTravelAuthors Day 15A
Clearly, I like the word sank. Here's 3 from Beryl 2:

The dog tags clinked as I picked up the chain & focused on the wearer’s name, service # & religion.

My heart sank. Not Sully's. But really, these tags being his would’ve been a coincidence right out of a Dickens novel

Sounds like Dali was the wedding planner.

A square image with an orange background featuring a book cover on the right with the title "My Bicentennial” above the image of the lower legs and feet of a teenage girl standing on a yellow bathroom scale dotted with purplish daisies. The girl is wearing purple polyester pants and orange platform shoes with spongy white soles. The author's name, Evie Kelley, is inside a silver triangle where the weight numbers would typically be. To the left of the cover is an illustration of a page from a 1976 yearbook with characters from the story in a grid. Above the images is a quote from a 5 star review of the book that reads: “I loved every groovy page!" Text at the bottom of the image reads: “Evie Kelley's My Bicentennial. Prom, platform shoes, and coming of age in the far-out year 1976.”

Introducing MY BICENTENNIAL, a 1976-set #comingofage #novel. A book for those who lived thru the ’70s (& had the Pet Rock to prove it), for people who love that far-out time & for high school girls of any era who struggled to fit in—before realizing standing out is more fun.

A book cover with the title The Nascent Bloom: Book 1 Caught and the author's name, Evie Kelley, is in the foreground. Text to the left of the cover reads: a YA sci-fi suspense. Text at the top of the image reads: "5 stars; fabulous read, rich in voice, setting & character. This book had me racing through the last 50 pages."
