That Much Closer to ... Gettin' Lucky

Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
Addendum: I think that's supposed to happen at the end of a post, but what the hey! I can do it anywhere I want, it's my blog.

 Only 2 1/2 weeks away from the Last Move! 

 Right now DH and I are on Maui, having a fabulous vacation on the in-laws. (Thanks, love you guys!) When we get home, it's pack up the last of our things, and hit the road. 

 So, pretty much I'm posting this picture 
because ... 

 I didn't have any pictures of those cute shamrocks, and it makes me feel pretty darn lucky just looking at this! 

 The DH and I get to move back to North Idaho in May. Wahoo!

 If you've never been to Coeur d'Alene, it's one of the cutest little resort towns on the lake you'll ever visit. We were lucky enough to live there several years ago, but my husband's job moved us to Portland area. 

 That turned out to be great. I would never want to miss living that near the ocean, and so  many art museums, galleries, theaters, etc. And did I mention the shopping? Hello, Nordstroms!


But after a short detour to my home state of Montana, which didn't work out for family reasons, we're headed back to our favorite place to Stay. Put. For. Good.

 So, y'know, look for me in the area. If you drive through on the interstate or stop down by the lake, wave! I'll be the one in the boat, short blonde hair flying in the breeze, big smile on my face.

 And I like to think this move is lucky for readers too, as I'll be continuing to write full time. 
Book 1 of The LodeStar Series (erotic sci fi romance) is set to debut soon, 
I'm writing Book 2 of a light BDsm series for Samhain, 
and I'm planning a fun, hot (did I mention FUN?) series set in Coeur d'Alene.

 For more info, visit my website!

 best,

    Lake Coeur d'Alene is definitely one of those magnificent places in the lower 48. I remember going to an educational conference there back in 2001 or 2002 in July. It was absolutely gorgeous!

    I'm happy you have found your stay-put-for-good place. It is always grounding to know you have found a home. I'll definitely put you on my list of beg-to-visit you the summer list. :)

      Maggie,

      No worries, you and DH are on the 'please come and visit' list!

      And I'm hoping readers will visit in the new series.

      M.S.,

      We seriously need lakes nearby, too. A boat has been our family RV since our boys were small, and we've never regretted that. Still running that same SeaSwirl, in mint condition.

      Love Michigan! So gorgeous ... but wouldn't want your winters. You're tough, you Michiganders.

      thanks for stopping,

    I am glad you are settling in a place you love... Hubby and I wanted to settle in SC down by Hilton Head/Savannah area but We ended up in Fayetteville, NC which is treating us pretty good... One day we hope to settle in the low country.

    I need a hammock on that porch, and when I'm done reading I want to jump in that beautiful lake!

      Danita,

      I have written parts of three books on that deck! Just got to hand my friends the print copy of Walking in Fire, the first book I wrote (partly) there. Very fun.

      Wish you could hang your hammock there. We'd read and then jump in. Coeur d'Alene Lake is really nice to jump into ... July, August and September are primo. Other than that it's a bit chilly.

    Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?

    I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems
    with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
