37 Years, But Who’s Counting? – #Anniversary – #HappyValentinesDay

February 14, 2023February 13, 2023 / Marcia / 30 Comments

Just a little heads up to let you know I might not be around as much today as usual. I do promise to check in as I can, but … today is our 37th Anniversary, and Mark and I are going to be out for a few hours, celebrating a wee bit with some “antiquing” at local stores, and having an early dinner. Just imagine. Thirty-seven years with the same person, not counting the four years we were together before we got married. So actually, 41 years total! It boggles my mind to realize it’s been that long. (And to think they said it wouldn’t last!! 😁)

Hope you enjoy today’s guest post with Wendy Scott, and I’ll be checking in throughout the day, when possible.

Have a Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! See you later!

“Almost Ready for Your Close Up, Capy!”

Yes, it really is a THING, and July 10 is it! If you don’t believe me, head on over to read Mike Allegra’s wonderful post on this very topic, with some of the cutest pics you’ve ever seen: https://mikeallegra.com/2022/07/07/is-there-a-capybara-appreciation-day.

I confess, I am a longtime capybara fan, but I know many of you may not really be familiar with this wonderful critter, let alone his very special DAY, so I thought I’d share Mike’s post. Do stop by. You’ll love it! (And you can find out more about Mike’s books there, too, especially his upcoming release, Sleepy Happy Capy Cuddles. I can’t wait to get this one for my granddaughter. And me! 😁

One Down and One To Go – Let’s Celebrate! #Sale

August 15, 2021August 15, 2021 / Marcia / 36 Comments

In celebration of my husband’s remarkable complete recovery from COVID-19, I have made an executive decision! (Alert the Media!) The best way I can think of to share our good fortune with others is to have a BIG SALE, so for at least a week (possibly a bit longer), my entire Wake-Robin Ridge series will be on sale for $.99 per book! Yep. You read correctly. That’s a savings of $2 on Book 1, and $4 on each of Books 2, 3, and 4. (Blame it on Covid Fog, as I’m not over it yet, but even so, I have enough brain power to know how lucky we’ve been so far.)

If you’ve been at all curious about this mildly paranormal series set in the breathtaking splendor of the Blue Ridge Mountains, now is the time to grab some books. Maybe you’ve even wondered who this little boy named Rabbit is and why a ten-year-old mountain boy raised in the wilderness would garner the lion’s share of attention from my readers. If so, you now have a chance to learn more about him (and his extraordinary abilities) for a ridiculously low price.

If you (like me) are stuck at home quarantining, or just trying to avoid being in many public places right now, reading is a great way to escape for a while. (Reading and writing are recommended by the Alzheimer’s Association as the best ways to stave off loss of brain function, too. TV isn’t even in the top ten! Just sayin’ … )

Hope you’ll consider joining my official Kick COVID in the BACKSIDE celebration by taking advantage of the first ever Complete Series Sale on these books.

In the meantime, PLEASE feel free to join the singing, dancing, and general HOOPLA of the celebration going on at the Meara household. (One of us is Hoopla-ing a bit more energetically than the other, but I’m giving it the best I’ve got right now.)
