Notes
Hello Readers,
I hope you had a great Easter Day! The weather here was beautiful and I spent time in the sunshine and fresh air which lifts my mood and my heart. Music is a HUGE mood lifter for me, forever and always.
Please take time to do something that lifts your mood and your heart too. Life is full of things that can bring you down, but don't let it. Remember tomorrow is a new day full of new possibilities.
I would like to take a moment to tell you about an extraordinary woman. She is my friend's daughter. She has devoted her life to helping animals. Jamie created Gateway Pet Guardians and started the Shelter Slumber Pawty, which has gone global. She has helped many humane societies and rescue shelters. She also does work for the ASPCA. Jamie was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and has undergone one surgery and will be having a second surgery very soon, which is just the beginning. As anyone knows those kind of bills add up. Jamie's friend started a GoFundMe for her to help with those bills. If you are able, please donate. It doesn't have to be much because every dollar helps. Thank you.

Causes I Believe In...
I have no affiliation to any of these organizations. I do not get kickbacks if you donate. I believe that we should all support saving the wildlife and other resources of our planet so this and all future generations can study them, explore them, and enjoy them.
Save the Date: Dr. Ed Migneco's Book Signing

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Have you ever dreamed of places you wanted to see? Of course you do, everyone does. That’s what I did as a kid. I dreamed of everywhere. I wanted to travel to beautiful, exotic, exciting places and leave my boring home town behind. My adventures took on the forms of dreams, and stories in my head. I would wake up in the morning thinking what the heck am I doing in this blue room with sexy men all over the walls? Wasn’t I just swinging through the jungle trees with a hot guy in a loincloth? Oh, right. I’m back in my bedroom. (Enter frowny face here.)
I worked in the library when I was in high school to absorb anything and everything. I really loved that job. Okay, it got me out of study hall, but so what.
Paranormal drew me. I read up on all aspects of the paranormal written, and allowed in high schools back then. I lived in the paranormal world, and still do today, which is why I feel comfortable writing in that genre. I was reading about vampires, and werewolves, and ghosts back in the day (my daughter hates it when I say that), but the vampires and werewolves I read about back then were certainly not the sexy, go ahead and bite me baby, ones that we have in YA and adult fiction these days. Thank you progress!
Many years and two kids later, I’m back to dreaming of beautiful, exotic, and exciting places, and men who are heroic in their own way. Are they still sexy, you say? Damn straight. Gorgeous, sexy, hot, there are an endless amount of adjectives to describe the men I write (and read, definitely), but they are also flawed. They are human after all, well, except for the Time Walkers. They are just down right slap my fanny, gods.
The one theme that runs through all my stories is TIME. ~~Love Spans All Time~~ That’s right, I said it. I truly believe it too. Borrowing a quote from a damn good movie here: "It is said some lives are linked across time, connected by an ancient calling that echoes through the ages." (Prince of Persia).
I invite you to take a peek at my Books. Maybe you’ll find something that piques your interest.
HAPPY READING!!!!
