The book will be out sometime next year.<\/p>\n<p>I also received word that same day that The Wild Rose Press wants to contract the second erotic romance I wrote (as Callie Croix) for the Dumen Ranch Series.

Right now I&#8217;m cooking a big dinner for 15 of us: sweet glazed meatloaf (hubby&#8217;s absolute fave), cream cheese mashed potatoes, spinach salad with fresh fruit and a raspberry vinaigrette dressing, a vegetable medley baked in homemade cheese sauce, and for dessert, a very decadent chocolate mousse layer cake. A totally low cal dinner for their last meal here in Vancouver \ud83d\ude42 I think a long family walk after dinner is in order, maybe down to the Spirit of the Sea Festival here at the beach to watch the fireworks later on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought this picture was especially appropriate considering the writing slump I&#8217;ve been in recently.
