Happy day after Valentine’s Day! I hope everyone had a great
day with lots of chocolate that doesn’t stick to your hips (I feel like
chocolate, given out of love, should not have calories. What do you think?)
I’m not a big one to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I mean, I
love to get presents, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t have to get a present on this particular day.
The best Valentine’s Day gift for me would be if my husband
took me out to dinner—and it doesn’t have to be a fancy restaurant, just our
favorite hangout would be wonderful—then set me loose in a bookstore so I could
browse for hours. At the end of our “date” I would pick a book to buy.
That’s it. A cheap date, that’s me. In fact, my husband and
I have recreated these types of dates on almost every one of our anniversaries.
BIO:

After earning a degree in journalism from Ohio University,
Sharon found the stories inside her head were more interesting than what was
going on in the world around her. Yet, it wasn’t until years later that she
decided to pursue her secret dream of writing a romance novel. Since then she’s
been published in romantic suspense, paranormal romance and contemporary
romance and historical romance.
Sharon’s other job descriptions include chauffer, laundress,
cook and mediator to her three very busy kids, her husband and two dogs. She
lives in southwest Ohio with her brood although her dream is to someday retire
to St. Maarten and live on the beach.
If
you’d like to find out more about Sharon and her books, you can visit her at
her website.

She’d love to hang out with you and talk about her passion—books.
The Notorious Lady Anne (On Sale Now):

Lady Anne, a legend of the high seas, has spent the last eleven years plotting revenge against her father, the owner of Blackwell Shipping. She’s targeted the Pride in hopes of plundering its captain’s company secrets. But beneath her fierce courage and bitter determination, Anne has the delicate heart of a woman—a heart that cannot help falling for Nicholas. Now Anne must make a difficult choice: bring down Blackwell or surrender to love.
Hi, Sharon and D. We ended the day together, laughing really hard at things that wouldn't be funny to anyone else. It doesn't get much better.
ReplyDeleteAwww. It's those kind of moments that make the memories.
Delete*Waves* Hi Sharon. Oh that is heaven. Being unleashed in a bookstore. Well, one that offers coffee.
ReplyDeleteThat's usually my Mother's Day treat!

It was heaven. I ended up buying a Julia London book. Now I can't wait to read it.
DeleteMost of the time my husband has to work so the ideal Valentines day was being with him. I'm STILL looking for your book.
ReplyDeleteJerri - We're like that too. Yesterday was the first Valentine's Day in forever that we didn't have to work.
DeleteYou can find Lady Anne at any fine online retailer :-)
My husband finally starting to get well after a month of serious illness has been a wonderful Valentine's Day gift for me. But he did manage a lunch out for the first time and that was wonderful too!

Jacqueline - I'm so sorry for your husband's illness and so glad that he was well enough to go out to lunch. I can really relate. My husband suffered a traumatic brain injury in May 2011. We are still dealing with the consequences but its wonderful to have him back with me.
DeletePrayers and thoughts to you and your husband. Remember to take care of yourself too!
LOL, Sharon! My husband tells me I'm a cheap date, too. We usually do dinner-and-a-movie dates - nothing fancy. He surprised me (and bebe) with roses yesterday, though...
ReplyDeleteAwww. Roses. How sweet. Yellow roses are my favorite. See, I'm not even traditional in that either!
DeleteI think your ideal Valentine's date and present sounds pretty perfect to me too, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Cait! It's my most favorite-ist thing to do :-)
DeleteThe hubby and I always exchange gifts. Nothing much, and we always buy a little box of candy for the kids. This year I got a caramel and chocolate dipped apple and my favorite dark chocolate raspberry truffles with a card. Then we sit and watch a few shows on T.V. and visit with the kids. Nothing fancy for us, but this weekend we will make red velvet pancakes and pink chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast :)
ReplyDeleteYour book sounds fabulous, Sharon!! Congrats!!
Ooooh. Red velvet pancakes. Now that sounds delicious.
DeleteWe never do much other than to say Happy Valentine's Day to each other, usually from different continents.
ReplyDeleteUsually my husband and I are the same way. Well, not the continent thing :-)
DeleteUsually my hubby cooks dinner. That's about all we do on VDay. We're going out to dinner on Sunday night with the kids, though.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Sharon!!
Thanks, Sara. I don't think my husband knows how to cook dinner
DeleteYour book sounds delightful, Sharon. Best of luck with it. As for Valentine's Day, even though my husband preferred green plants, he always brought me live flowers on VDay--because he knew I loved them.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbara! Your husband sounds like a keeper :-)
