Time for Self-Pimpage

christmasmagicsmallThat sounds dirtier than it is… Really. *laugh*

I published my first book in December, and I wanted to let you guys know, since you’ve been such a huge support for me and this site.

Christmas Magic is a novella, meaning it’s very short (just about 9500 words). It was intended to simply be a sweet, quick-read Christmas story.

“Luke Taylor looks like an ordinary man, but when his father retires, his life changes forever. One day a year, he becomes the world’s greatest gift-giver: Santa Claus. Christmas magic swirls through the air in Santa’s village at the North Pole. It changes Luke into Santa, men into reindeer, and allows Santa to find his Mrs.

Sadie Green is an elf who works in the dollhouse workshop. Christmas magic is at work when Luke bumps into Sadie one cold night just before Christmas, and these two soon realize they are soul mates.

Whether it’s the Northern Lights, elves and Santas who barely age, or the ability to live in negative-forty degree temperatures, Christmas magic works in amazing and mysterious ways.”

If you’d like to check it out, you can buy it on Amazon.

If We Controlled Your Remote… 1/15/16

Have you ever been at a loss as to what to watch? Too many shows to pick from? We’re here to give you our opinions on what we feel is worth watching. Check it out and then let us know in the comments below what you’re choosing for tonight!

Megan’s Choice

bluebloods115smallIt’s been one of those weeks where either myself or one of the kids are ill, making it an overall long and tiring week. I am looking forward to kicking back and relaxing tonight with some great television, and Blue Bloods definitely fits the bill.

Last week’s episode was a roller coaster for our favorite police family, as Frank struggled with his old partner publishing a book about the “good ol’ days,” because he felt that the book didn’t represent who he was today. Jamie and Eddie had a difference of opinion when Eddie signed them up for an undercover detail by bugging a detective nonstop, and that didn’t sit well with Jamie because he doesn’t want people thinking that he used his last name to get special treatment. Eddie explained that she doesn’t want to work the beat for the rest of her career, and they came to the conclusion that they would remain partners for now but that their future goals may find them going down separate paths.

Erin had the ultimate backbone of the episode when an investigator for her office was murdered while working on a case against a construction company with ties to the mob. All of the witnesses had mysteriously gone missing. Erin wasn’t going to let her friend die in vain, so she kept digging and discovered that it was actually the father of her ADA who’d been working with the mob – as was the ADA in proxy through his dad. In the end, Erin managed to bring everyone down, and I was impressed at how tough she was in order to solve her friend’s murder.

In my opinion, it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing if Jamie and Eddie went on separate career paths, because then it would it open the door for a romantic relationship between them without the issue of them being partners getting in the way. Erin has always been one of my favorite characters because she is an excellent example of strength and intelligence for a female lead, which we need on television so that this up-and-coming generation of girls can see what they could be one day. This show always manages to teach us a lesson and also remind us of the importance of family and loyalty… All things we are short of in society as a whole.

On tonight’s episode, “Cursed,” when a local mobster is gunned down in his car, Danny and Baez try to get information from the mob’s low-level errand boy they find tied up in the trunk before the gang retaliates. Also, an NYPD officer asks for a new shield number to honor her late father, but Frank is conflicted, as it’s the same number as his deceased son, Joe’s.

Find out what the Regans have to teach us this week tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching MasterChef: Junior, Hell’s Kitchen, Hawaii Five-0, and Undercover Boss.
