Things of Love from 2007

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Here’s a cyber list of things I loved LAST year - 2007. The things I loved last year did not have to be invented/created/released in 2007. I simply enjoyed them in 2007.

I found it hard to pick just one thing, so in some cases I listed more than one. You can comment on my list and or post your own list in the comments section. Come on, share!

Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year!

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

Happy Holidays, everyone! I trust you had a nice Christmas celebration and continue to enjoy the holiday season.

I want to thank all the readers and visitors who’ve stopped by my site. Thanks for your comments and emails.

Many of you have asked about VACATION SOUVENIR. Thanks to Siren Publishing, I have the rights back to my story (that was a nice Christmas present.). I’m in the process of revising and lengthening it a bit. Then, I’ll look for a new home for it.

Other writing projects I’m working on include the sequel to VACATION SOUVENIR, and a few new stories. I hope to complete them soon and have them out this coming new year. I have posted blurbs about two of the stories — KAYLIN’S SPECIAL DELIVERY and THE BIRTHDAY TREAT — in the ‘Coming Soon‘ section. You can read more about them there. In the near future, I’ll post excerpts. So come back for a sneak peak.

For now, I’d like to leave you with the perfect breakfast recipe to enjoy, especially during this holiday season and New Year — Gold Coast French Toast. As you prepare it, the smells of the cinnamon and nutmeg waft through the air, leaving a delicious scent and a good feeling. You won’t be able to resist it, neither will the person for whom you prepare this. He or she will feel the love when eating your French Toast and want to return the love right back to you.

I used challah to make my French Toast but you can use any egg or sweet bread. Be sure to cut thick slices, so that the bread doesn’t collapse when it is dipped in the egg mixture and cooked. I like to eat my French Toast with maple syrup alone. If you want something more, in addition to the maple syrup, you can sprinkle confectioner’s sugar over your French Toast and serve with a side helping of fresh fruits ( as seen in last photo below). Enjoy!

I wish you a happy and joyous New Year filled with lots of good and hot reads.

Best,

Paz

Vacation Souvenir Review

Friday, March 9th, 2007

Hi everyone:

It’s been quiet here for some time now. Sorry about that. Three months into 2007, I trust everyone is having a good start to the new year, so far. Life has been keeping me busy. I’ve also been working on stories and looking for homes for them. One should be coming out soon (more on that later).

I’m happy to know that folks are still reading Vacation Souvenir. I recently received a nice review from My Book Cravings. You can read the review here. Thanks, Robin!

Also, feel free to stop by Between the Sheets, the blog I share with wonderful writers Anisa Damien, Jade James, and Lyric James.

Best,
Paz
