November Blog Break

I'm taking November off for a couple of good reasons.

1. I'm doing NaNoWriMo

2. We're babysitting grandkids in Hawaii the last half of the month. Our oldest granddaughter is going to be in the Macy's Day parade on Thanksgiving Day, so her parents are going to New York to be there too. I know. Rough life right?

Happy Thanksgiving and if you celebrate it. And Happy November otherwise!

Do I Like Where I Live?

Still on a blog break

I'm a special guest today, over at Richard Hughes' blog here.  You can find out there if I like where I live. There're lots of pictures.

ETA: A video made by my city wasn't available in time for Richard's post, but here it is.

The Rebels of Cordovia by Linda Weaver Clarke

I'm on blog break through July.

 In The Rebels of Cordovia by Linda Weaver Clarke, the time period is set in the late 1700s. Centuries after the legendary Robin Hood, a group of men and women find themselves fighting for the same cause: for their rights, for freedom of speech, and equality. Robin’s Rebels realize they must fight against the tyranny of a wicked king and help the people survive this oppression. In the small country of Cordovia, groups of rebels begin springing up, but its Robin’s Rebels who get the attention of the king.

In this battle for freedom, a tender love story begins to blossom. Daniel, a rogue and a leader of the Freemen, doesn't realize that the sweet feminine woman he has met and is falling for happens to be the leader of Robin’s Rebels. Realizing the importance of uniting all the rebel groups, Daniel tries to recruit Robin’s Rebels but they refuse. Now he has to find a way to convince them. When he finds out the leader is actually a woman, what will his reaction be?
