Happy Friday! We made it to the end of the week. WooHoo!!! The beginning of this week we had arctic temps followed by a snow/ice event that led temps soaring up to the 50s! Talk about a roller coaster of weather. I’m looking forward to a nice, quiet and warm weekend. How about you? Here’s a few websites you may want to visit over the weekend. Ready?

I guess you can tell by my posts that I enjoy reading and I like to read a variety of genres. Mystery, suspense, romance, paranormal. There’s a brand new romantic suspense series with a touch of noir and a whole lot of heat (and I mean a WHOLE LOT OF HEAT) that I’m loving. The series is co-authored by two talented writers, Eve Kincaid and Lily Danes. Now I think I should mention here that Eve is my critique partner and I’ve had the pleasure of reading her new release as she was writing it. Honestly, she couldn’t write it fast enough for me. I loved it. You can get a taste of Kiss of a Stranger over at her website. She’s put up the first chapter for you to read. Enjoy!

During the week I came across a post about emails and among authors there is an on-going debate of how often emails should be sent to subscribers. That debate is usually followed by a lengthy discussion of how to get subscribers. 🙂 Dagmara, over at Glamista Home, shares some very good reasons why we should consider sending emails to our subscribers on a regular basis. When I get ready to send emails I do intend to send them on a regular basis to build a relationship. I enjoy receiving emails from the authors I enjoy reading and hopefully my subscribers will feel the same way.

Now lets talk about food. I stumbled upon Inspiralized.com and I’m hooked. Using a spiralizer looks like so much fun. And lucky for me, Kitchen Aid makes a spiralizer attachment for my stand mixer. I gotta get one. If you’re looking for a fun and healthy way to cook and eat check out Ali’s website.

What are you up to this weekend? Staying in with a good book? Or, doing a little cooking? Or, are you heading out?
