Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm a huge night owl! In fact, I have to struggle to get work done in the early morning hours. For whatever reason, my body wants to sleep but at night I come alive! Maybe because I was born at 11:45 pm. I don't know. One thing is for sure, it works really well for me because I can get my little ones to bed and stay up late writing and working into the wee hours, among other things.

It actually gives my honey and I more time to hang out, watch movies, cook a late dinner and be romantic. So when the weekend rolls around, we are total night owls! We've been known to leave our little ones with our teenager and drive to the lake and watch the swans swim. Everything changes at night. For me, those changes are beautiful and calm. Peaceful. When most of the world is sleeping, we go out and live. Night owls have to eat too. One of the favorite Night owl spots for late night dining is Waffle House!! Who doesn't love a buttery waffle drizzled with maple syrup? Go in the fall. They have a yummy pumpkin pie waffle that is to die for! We love to go eat in quaint Italian restaurants or hidden away Mexican cafes. We've been known to have a coffee in a cozy coffee shop while the rain slides down the windows.

Nighttime is in my blood. Of course, since I'm a night owl, I have a telescope and love to gaze at the moon and twinkling stars.

Early bird gets the worm? She can have it! I'll take my romantic, magical nights instead!

Stop by Vivi Dumas today to hop on the 14th day of the MY LITTLE TEXAS TORNADO tour.

Growing your #Characters! #Amwriting #Amreading #Romance #Western

If you're a writer you know your characters must grow or the plot will become stale and boring. If you're a reader, you know you want to read about characters who go through challenges and become a better person.

Today is Day 11 of the MY LITTLE TEXAS TORNADO tour with a pit stop at URBAN GIRL READER. Click on the link to make sure you enter to win a copy of the book!

Savannah Moon is a total snob, engaged to an even bigger snob. Wouldn't you like to see her become a better person? It was quite a challenge but alpha male, Colt Daniels didn't have too much trouble thawing the ice.

What is #Sexy? #sensual #erotica #chemistry #love #romance #fetish #nightowl

What is sexy? Funny how our opinions differ on what is sexy. For some it's the eyes, the smile, a kind soul, an intelligent mind, a sculpted body or a combination of all these traits. What do you find sexy in a man or a woman?

Leave a comment and your email addy and I'll enter you into a drawing for my 5-Book Collection of the very best of Alisha Paige's Sensual Dark, Romance! Prize to be drawn on February 20th and announced here! Tell me your secret fetish and I'll enter you into the drawing TWICE!

I have a fetish for hands. Big, strong hands..sigh! I'm totally in love with my husband's hands. The man can be totally clothed and lay one hand on my knee and I'm done for. I'd love to hear what drives you crazy!

What's the secret ingredient to the best books? Is it the plot, the setting, the characters or the writer's style? What do you think? Are you a writer? Do you have one thing that sets you apart from other writers? Do you have a secret ingredient? How secret is it? I have a secret but I'm not sharing. If I did, it wouldn't be a secret. If you're a reader of mine, you may already know. You're welcome to guess if you like.
