Where I’ll be

This post is to let you know that I’m going away again. Yes, I was just gone a short time ago, but I actually don’t have control of these dates – only if I go or not!

But before we get to my next trip, I want to point out an excellent article in Publisher’s Weekly on The New E- in Erotica. One of my publishers, The Wild Rose Press (IMPROPER NIGHTS, THE LADY’S BARGAIN) is mentioned in this article. It looks as though erotica romances are here to stay!

As for my trip, I leave tomorrow for three days with my husband and nine-year-old twins on a 37 foot sailboat. It’s been my husband’s dream to have his own boat and so we decided to “test it out” by finding a time-share-like set-up. This way we aren’t obligated and stuck with a boat to sell if we decide we didn’t enjoy it or have the time for it.

We took lessons back in April (among rain and storms) but have yet to go overnight on the boat. We’ll have to bring our own sheets, pillows, towels, food, drink, etc. And all of our clothes, of course. We have stops planned which aren’t too far away and will decide at the time whether to dock at a marina or to anchor.

Husband and kids are very excited about this trip. Me? I’m a wee bit nervous to be honest. I’m relieved we aren’t going very far and that the sailboat does have a motor, if needed. Still, the last time hubby and I went out on our own, we had a very hard time docking with just the two of us. It’s a big boat for a skipper and ONE crewman to maneuver and tie up!

So, the blog will be quite over the next few days. And when I return on Saturday, I’ll no doubt be spending much of my time preparing for my birthday party on Sunday.
