I really want to go celebrate at a yummy restaurant, but with all the weeknight family chaos it probably won’t happen. So I guess I’ll settle for Taco Bell, which isn’t really settling because it’s always a celebration if I don’t have to cook. Plus, I LOVE Taco Bell.</div>

No, I don’t do drugs. I’ve never even tried marijuana, ever.
I’m talking about this new fitness workout called HIGH FITNESS, and it’s
KILLER! It’s sort of like old school aerobics but with plyo moves
like burpees, jump tucks, and squat jumps, as well as some hip-hop moves, all
to way fun pop songs. Trust me, it’s a blast!</div>

A friend took my daughter and me to a HIGH class that Emily (the founder of HIGH FITNESS) taught. Oh my word--she kicked my butt! I had to
leave class three different times . . . to get a drink . . . because my throat
was dry. No seriously, because I thought I was going to DIE and so I had to
take a ton of breaks! But don’t tell anyone that.<o:p></o:p></div>

(The minus is because they didn’t include the “fizzy lifting
drink” scene, the lick-able wall-paper, or the final culminating scene when Charlie
gives back the everlasting gobstopper and Mr. Wonka whispers, “So shines a good
deed in a weary world.” On the other hand, they did away with the “Cheer Up
Charlie” song which should be worth something. Overall, completely
entertaining!)</div>

DEAR EVAN HANSEN: I can’t even…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t even know what to give this show. Ben Platt gave the
most amazing, raw, real performance I’ve ever seen in my life. Too real. There is no way someone can give a performance like that every day
for a year and it not affect them. I wanted to reach out to him and tell him to
stop doing the show. He’s going to be a psychological mess, if he isn’t
already. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the show, I seriously had to remind myself that there
are normal people out there and not everyone is all screwed up. Cuz life is
awesome, even when it’s not, because if it’s not today, it will be tomorrow, or
at some point, if you choose to make it awesome.<o:p></o:p></div>

Anyway, here’s to all the normal people out there. Stay awesome!<o:p></o:p></div>

My daughter started a blog (bakeryzero.blogspot.com – she’s
a health foodie expert!) and has motivated me to post on my own blog. Crazy—and
completely awesome—how daughters grow up and become the example.<o:p></o:p></div>

First, by way of follow-up to my previous blogpost, a pic.
of me and my bestie with The Tenors. Their concert was INCREDIBLE! You should
go to one. Love these guys! I tried to sing a duet with Fraser—he laughed at me.
Great times!<o:p></o:p></div>

I take the summers off of writing and do a lot of reading.
This summer I read mostly YA and romance, but took a break from those genres to
read <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Nightingale</i> by Kristin
Hannah. It came highly recommended by several friends. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some parts were a little
heavy for me (I’m a total lightweight when it comes to books and movies), but what
an engaging, well-written book. I liked it so much I made my husband read it
(which I can’t normally do since he’d last two pages--maybe--in my usual YA romance
reads). Anyway, he liked it too!<o:p></o:p></div>

BY FAR my favorite Christmas gift this year was two tickets to The Tenors (formerly The Canadian Tenors) in concert in Atlantic City this Spring (seriously, best present ever!!), and a Tenors' song serenade from my 11 year old son.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was a huge sacrifice for him because although he sings this particular song at the top of his lungs when we're driving in the car, he's shy singing it solo since he's going through the squeaky voice change thing right now - ha.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Plus, his goofball older brother kept sabotaging him (refer to video; I was dying!!😂) I sure love my fam!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are a few short snippets from the video, and below that, a link to the original song from The Tenors! (Their voices tho...!💛)<br />
<br />
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Lato; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">TEASER</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Lato; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Twenty years ago American scholars stumbled across a gene exclusive to people with abnormally high intelligence levels. They were nicknamed Smarts, the Einsteins and Mozarts of the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Lato; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Lato; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since childhood, JENNIFER RICHARDSON has been forced to hide her Smarts. Obeying her parent’s wishes to stay under the radar, she’s perfected invisibility as a shy freshman at Princeton University. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Lato; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Lato; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But someone knows who, and what, she is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Lato; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Lato; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When motorcycle riding bad-boy LUKE STRONG abducts her and takes her to his home of Wonder, a hidden village of Smarts, Jennifer has one goal: escape. But motives shift when she uncovers a globally devastating plot, the bitter secrets threatening everything she knows and loves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Lato; font-size: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Lato; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yet she has a dark secret of her own: an intense attachment to her kidnapper. Will Luke turn out to be the hardened enemy he plays, or could he possibly be her rugged and loyal rescuer? And can they both see past their lies and learn to trust each other before it’s too late?</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Lato; font-size: 15px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 15px;">
<div style="font-family: lato;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;">EXCERPT</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As
he walks toward the crowd, girls hug each other and scream like they’re at a
rock concert and he’s a mega superstar. A group of five girls to my left are
particularly salivating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I’ve
died and gone to heaven,” one of them says, hanging onto the girl beside her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“What
I wouldn’t give to have him all to myself for a night,” the other says back. I hug
my arms in and hide the fact that I’m sizing the girl up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Are
you crazy?” the one with a low ponytail cries. “That’s way too much
testosterone for you to handle, Kirsten.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They
laugh through wide, excited smiles and Kirsten says, “But wouldn’t we all give
up our souls for the chance…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“He’s
coming closer!” another shouts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I follow her dreamy gaze to the back of the
outdoor arena and my right heel begins a nervous, rhythmic tap as Luke gets
closer. He walks ten yards behind his opponent, dressed in the same
black, long sleeve shirt and bottoms. His fitted attire manifests his strength,
from his broad shoulders and protruding chest down to his strong, muscled legs.
He really is built to perfection. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Oh
sweet mother of Adonis, look at him,” Kirsten breathes out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“We
are,” another says reverently, and I can’t help but roll my eyes. I hear them
join in on the shouts and cheers while my focus stays centered on Luke.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">His
body language screams power. His head is casually bent, he’s got a natural
swagger, and he exudes confidence. I can’t imagine anyone standing a chance
against him in the cage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“You
know what always gets me scratching my head?” Nash asks. “It’s the way none of
this ever ruffles him.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He’s
right. As Luke moves into the cage through the
door next to where I sit, he looks like he’s casually climbing
into bed for the night. And <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I’m</i>
trying my hardest to think of something other than the guy I can’t stop staring
at.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He’s
fascinating. I feel a strong desire to know him, find out what drives him, discover
why he’s willing to kidnap and fight. I want to understand the way he handles
his family, why he teases someone he loathes, and how we’re connected.</span></div>

<span style="color: #131313; font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">At first, the book had a paranormal bend, but I decided
to take out the sci-fi parts and go the contemporary romance route
instead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reasoning behind this
is sort of funny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am a complete

<span style="color: #131313; font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;">Anyway, I thought it would
be sort of fun and challenging to find the middle ground of our two polar
opposite interests, to delve into all the ways life hovers on the edges of
reality: dreams, comas, our bodies, our brains, the way adrenalin allows us to
lift cars off of people in emergency situations, how some people can hold their
breath for ten minutes or more…all those amazing phenomenons of life (some of
those themes will be included in my next books, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Smarts Series</i>).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

She's not singing "Fallin' For You" because that's a song from <i>Reflection</i>, Book 1. So here's my daughter's tribute to <i>Reaction, </i>Book 2, since that is what we're celebrating today! Good song for the playlist, but too popular to be included. Scroll down for <i>Reaction's</i> playlist. </span></div>

doing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Were we now so distant that

I walked closer, he came into view.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

of yours cast its spell on me once again?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And will my eyes ever behold anything more appealing than that
distractingly drop-dead gorgeous face of yours and the sexy way your simple
long sleeve shirt and jeans hug just enough to hint at the remarkable body
hiding underneath?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will I ever get
used to the crushing desire I feel for you as I stare at you helplessly?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I watch your head tilt down, then turn

I cut in, “I told you already, he didn’t even acknowledge me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He doesn’t want to be friends anymore,

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“So
much uglier,” she responded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

when he pulled up from the truck to stand, leaning his backside against the

here,” he said, tugging the end of my shirt lightly and then guiding me by my
waist into the crook of his legs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My hands held his sides, reminiscent of the past.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was solid as a rock—that was
something that hadn’t changed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
was holding him in an intimate spot, and yet nothing near the way his hands
slowly began brushing through my hair.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They didn’t stop there, they moved to my face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His fingers caressed my cheek, and then ran along my jaw
line in a little lazy wave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then
his knuckle went to my lips.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
tried to repress a smile, but it surfaced.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

so funny?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I love music, especially the chill, urban vintage, instrumental-ish kind that fits well with this series. Thanks to <a href="http://christysloveofbooks.com/">Christy's Love of Books Blog</a> for letting me copy her idea of adding music videos to the post. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ENJOY!!</span><br />

Synopsis:<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></i>
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Harmony…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></i><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I’ve previously
had that in my life, but only once, briefly, a while ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was during the time I’d started my first
year of college.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My own apartment,
a new old car, and a life free of deadbeat stepfathers, all of which was
fulfilling enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But if it
wasn’t, I also had a best friend, soul mate, and boyfriend all in one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, life was near perfect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">But one stormy
night can change everything… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">For many months
I rested in a prolonged sleep, fighting for my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, more than <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">fighting</i>
for it, also <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">dreaming</i> of it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dreaming of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">him</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank goodness,
the dream is over and I’m back in the real world now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And all I want is for everything to return to the way it
was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But nothing’s the same; most
of all, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">us</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Once again, I
find myself at the crossroads of a ruthless battle, this time not for life, but
love.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do I fight for the guy I
twice fell for, or do I let her take him away?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">Out of the three books I’ve
written, I’m most excited about <i>Reflection</i>.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">Possibly because it’s one of few books out there that target
the New Adult audience.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">New Adult is a crossover
category from young adulthood into adulthood, targeting a college aged audience but
proving an appeal to both young and old alike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">And why not?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Arguably, those college years are the
most thrilling, </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">independent, self-seeking,
and decadent years of a person’s life.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Summed
up best by the lyrics of a Wade Hayes country song, “I’m old enough to know
better but I’m still too young to care.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">As a teen, it’s exactly what I
wanted to read about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And as an
adult, it really hasn’t changed that much; the magic of those years still
resonates in me.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Perhaps
that’s why I chose to write within this new genre. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">My debut full-length novel,
<i>Reflection</i>, is a New Adult romance about a bright, spunky high school grad who
leaves her rocky childhood and small hometown behind, and ventures off to
college.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>True to the genre,
<i>Reflection</i> is more than teen fluff yet fresher than the heavy, adult
stuff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a book about growing
pains and growing up, living and surviving, dreaming and fulfilling one’s
dreams.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">A blog tour is a great way
to introduce this stirring new category in books, and I hope you will follow
mine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but as soon as I have a pen (or keyboard in this case), I turn all Shakespeare/English Teacher – long words, flowery prose,
etc. It’s like when you answer the
phone and your voice automatically goes two pitches higher. Weird how that happens.</div>

have to change into exercise clothes, getting naked and cold in the

have to shower, maybe even wash my hair if I get really sweaty, and that means
I would have to straighten my hair again, which takes forever. And I hate that feeling of my throat
and lungs burning, which will happen the very first mile since I haven’t jogged

little anymore) said I needed to “juice up” my blog posts by adding
pictures. I disregarded the
implication that my first post was dry, but leave it to brothers to tell it
like it is. However, since Adam
was the first person to read <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Reflection</i>,
and the one person who continually motivated me to see the novel to its
completion by constantly asking, “How’s Heather doing?” (Heather is the female
love interest in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Reflection</i>), he gets
a perpetual pass.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

Furthermore, I’m taking his advice. So, here’s my first pix:</div>

This is the screensaver that has been on my computer for the
past two years. It’s Nick’s truck
(Nick is the male love interest in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Reflection</i>). Random how I got the pix: We took the family to Wingers one
night, and this blue, beater truck was in the parking lot. It was the first time I’d seen a
real-life replica of Nick’s truck.
I freaked out, snapped three pictures with my phone, and was convinced
The Hat was eating wings 20 feet away from me!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seriously though, characters can
become that real-to-life! I can’t tell you how many
nights I had to tell them all to quit talking in my head so I could get some sleep! No, I’m not crazy; I just have a very
colorful and constant imagination. </div>

But let me back up and share
how this book business began for me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve always loved to write. In third grade I wrote the following poem:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">The breezes and the

I took a long leave from <i>formal writing</i>, and resumed my
senior year of high school, when a unique opportunity fell into my lap. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
From my previous post, you may have gathered that my family
wasn’t the most affluent. Though
funds were low, college was still a hopeful ambition; and scholarships were the
most effective road to that end.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Which ultimately lead me to applying for the “Miss Teen
California Scholarship Pageant”, then the title “Miss Teen California”, then a full ride scholarship to my college of choice (Brigham Young
University), and finally, a 1990 jam-packed with pretty incredible
experiences. Here’s a throw back

This picture definitely dates me. But if you went to high school in the 90’s, you’ll
appreciate the puffy bangs. And
your thoughts, like mine, might roam to movies like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Back to the Future</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pretty

while humming the tune to “and it ain’t no lie, baby bye, bye, bye”. Good times!!<br />

But back to the Miss Teen thing. With the title came a year of appearances, speaking
engagements, and introductions to lots of neat people. The year went fast, and when it was
over I wanted to share it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So began my first book: an autobiographical account of
spotlight moments during my yearlong reign as Miss Teen California. I completed the book a few years later
and put it on the shelf, only to pull it off for my daughter and a few other readers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My second book was a children’s picture book about a kind
young princess whose beauty shined, not because her face was flawless, but
because her heart was. An artist
friend drew the illustrations, and then we sent copies and queries to five
different publishers. The
responses were all the same. In a
nutshell: authors must illustrate their own work, or send in words only and an
illustrater is assigned by the publishing company. Lame standard rule if you ask me, but whatever. And that ended that.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Travel in time approx. ten years later. I was in my bathroom one evening drying
my hair in front of the mirror, and a scene popped into my head. A spunky, unassuming girl locks herself
out of her second floor apartment, and decides to scale the decks behind the
building to get to her open back window.
Once there, she realizes she’s not strong enough to pull herself up and
through the window, and finds herself dangling two stories high, utterly
stuck. The scene continues from
there (excerpt taken from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Reflection</i>):

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">Right as I was about to consign myself to
a bushy grave, a voice broke in, just loud enough to prick my ears, sending a
pulse of shock waves underneath my skin. “So, what’s the plan from there?” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">Automatically my leg flung toward the
railing again, slipping right off, even more awkwardly than before. He’d
witnessed the entire circus act, of this I was certain. My eyelids closed
against the humiliation. Wishing with all my wish-power to disappear, I
continued to dangle from the ledge, more irritated with the faint snicker from
below than my slipping hands. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">I wrinkled my nose. “I…I’m not sure.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">“That’s not like you. You have a solution
for everything.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">Though as a general rule his words sent
my lips upward, this time I grimaced with each one. I could picture him, that
irresistible half smile, steadying the emotion on his face, entertained with
his front row seat to my silliness. Without question he was massaging his chin
and probably wondering why he bothered with such a senseless girl. But Miss
Senseless continued to hang, kissing the stucco and grasping the windowsill for
dear life. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">“You are in big trouble!” I yelled so
there would be no question he heard. By his response, he definitely heard. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">He burst out, apparently unable to hold
it in any longer. It wasn’t uncontrolled. To most it probably sounded like a
small chuckle. I’d spent enough time with him to gather that he was, first,
considerably amused with me, and second, too considerate to say what he was
really thinking, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Wouldn’t that be </i>you<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> in trouble?</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">“You have my keys!” I accused. “Thanks to
you, I locked my door this morning.” I cleared my throat to indict him, but
that only made me lose my grip even more, my arms burning and my hands now
numb. And slipping rapidly. I resisted calling out for help as long as
possible. Clearly, he would wait as long as it took. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">Really, neither of my two options was
more inviting—either fall to the ground and crash like an idiot or receive his
help. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">Very reluctantly, I elected for the
latter. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">“Okay,” I finally gave in. “I’m stuck.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">My comment thrust me into his eyes:
watching a girl hanging two stories high, her head cocked back so the scrapes
on her nose wouldn’t worsen, her legs flopping, lifeless. My laughter—though
imperative at the moment to keep within certain bounds—came with more force
than his. What was the use in trying to hold it in? I knew me well enough for
that. So I let it flow. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">“Come help me!” I squealed, leaning my
head back in a fit of giggles. “I’m going to fall!” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">He was already on his way. From the
corner of my eye I watched the masculine grace of his movements as he climbed
the balcony. He was on the deck in a blink—a natural athlete. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">Too casually for the circumstance, I
greeted, “Hi.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">He smiled slightly and then scratched his
head in such a way that I knew the “Miss Senseless” thing was right on. “Hi,”
he responded. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: red;">“Hi,” I repeated. And then we both laughed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Not sure why, but I hate being a "groupie." It took me forever to join <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jessica-Roberts/174139906035619">Facebook</a>, I refused to go
see <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twilight</i> on opening night, and
you’ll never see me use acronyms like LOL or TTYL. So it's super foreign for me to think that I'm really doing this. I'm writing my very first blog post. Ah, what the heck, LM**... haha<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On that note, I'm not really a swearer, (in my writing or in real
life). Okay, once when I was
pregnant my husband made the mistake of asking me how I felt, and I
told him precisely <i>what</i> I felt like; there was only one word. But generally there are other words. And I like to use those more. </div>

On the subject of intelligence (sorry, my thoughts tend to
skip around), I’m psycho about
editing. I have a hard time
reading anything with typos. I’ve
been known to take a red pen to the newspaper. That said, I’m sure there are several mistakes in my book, so
I’m already eating my
words. <o:p></o:p></div>

I grew up in Foster City, California, my dad passed away when I was in high school, my mom bounced a lot of checks trying to care for 6 kids. (She’s gonna kill me for saying that. But she’s the best mom in the whole world. Love ya, Mom!) My family is all over the place; I have sisters, brothers, steps, halfs, we’re one very extended, big happy fam.<o:p></o:p></div>

In reference to the last line of the previous paragraph, you might suspect (and you'd be right) that I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You know, Mitt Romney, Stephenie Meyer, Steve Young, Donny and Marie, David Archuleta, Motab, Christian, LDS or Mormon as some call us. And if you’re not savvy to the 21<sup>st</sup> century or you’re one of those who believes that shows like <i>Big Love</i> are indicative of reality, I’m here to set the record straight. I’m the most normal, earthy, laugh-out-loud type of person you’ll ever know. I have one husband, and even if he wanted more wives, it’s against the law – duh. And though I talk about it casually, what I believe is what defines me; it’s literally who I am. I wouldn’t say I’m religious or spiritual, because doing so somehow seems to undermine the value of my beliefs in the world’s eyes. I don’t talk faith, I talk life, and to my knowledge, they’re synonymous.</div>

I love movies. My favorite is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Sound of Music</i>. Yeah, yeah, pretty vanilla, I know. Yet it's a comedy, a drama, a passionate romance, and a musical all in one (I do fast forward the “Climb Every Mountain” song). But what more could you ask for in an
escape? I’m a dreamer. I have to say, contrary to most of the
human population, I hated <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Dark Knight</i>. I left the theater feeling
dark and depressed. If I wanted
that, I would watch the news.
Movies are there to take me to better places. If it doesn’t do that, I don’t care how
awesome the acting (LOVE Christian Bale, though) or the scenery or the story or the
redeeming value, it will never be a favorite.</div>

I also love to read. I used to read a lot of philosophy. That was my college major for a quick
second, and then I took an epistemology class, and that cured that. But I still love C.S. Lewis. I’m a historical romance lover; really,
I’m an any-time-period romance lover. Ironic, since I’m not really a romantic person; I don’t do sappy very
well. Recently, I loved The Hunger
Games. I guess you could say my
favorite reads fall into the young adult category. Maybe that’s why I chose that as my book audience. There’s something about “firsts” that
make those years magical.
First looks, first kisses, those special, thrilling moments, I can’t get enough of that junk! I also like fantasy, adventure and sci-fi.</div>

I love playing sports. Recently I played in an indoor co-ed soccer league, I play in a women's volleyball league, I love to snow and water ski, I try to golf, if I were a guy I'd play football for sure, and I love to watch sports on TV almost as much as Kyle (my husband). I'm sort of tomboyish, a blue jeans kind of gal, been a city girl my whole life, but I’m a country girl by heart. I grew up playing soccer and climbing trees. But I will say that my toenails are always painted. I can easily tap in to the inner girly in me. </div>

I love people who can carry on an intelligent
conversation on any subject. I
believe it’s called being “well-rounded”. I also love a good sense of humor. Being around funny people is the best,
isn’t it? Witt - it’s awesome!</div>

I’m, I’m, I’m. This is all about me. Was I supposed to do that? The truth is, on the
outside I’m an extrovert, but on the inside I’m an introvert (did that make sense?). Said simply, I wear my emotions on my sleeves, but I'm also a very private person. So you can understand why I'm all over the place. Also
foreign to me is not writing a book necessarily, but sharing it with
others. It’s a very exposed
feeling to have strangers literally reading my thoughts. <o:p></o:p></div>

But if you’re reading this blog, you’ve perhaps already read the teaser for my new
novel, <i>REFLECTION</i>. I hope you
liked it, and I hope you like the book.
If I had to overview <i>REFLECTION</i> in a few words, I would
say it’s a sweet, spicy college romance with a twist. <o:p></o:p></div>
