I posited this question on Facebook and found the answers incredibly interesting. Firstly, my response: Loyalty. In truth, no one is 100% honest. Sometimes people aren’t even honest with themselves. With loyalty, I know they will do their level best to take care of my heart and have my back.
I was shocked at the number of people who said the two concepts were one and the same or that you can’t have one without the other. I beg to differ. Continue reading

I was born and raised in the Czech Republic. It’s a beautiful country in the heart of Europe and if you haven’t been there, you need to put it on your bucket list. I’ve been married to my American husband for over twenty years, we have two teenage daughters, and we live in Atlanta, GA. I’m currently promoting two books, the first one was released on October 12 and the second one five days later, on October 17, 2014.
The first book is Recklessly Yours — it’s the first of a new series called Diary of a French Girl. It’s about an 18-year-old French girl, Giselle, who never met her American father until her dad dies and she comes to the US for the first time to meet her wealthy grandmother. As a typical European teen, she has somewhat distorted view of America. So the book is a bit of a journey not just into her family but her love life as well. You see, Giselle loses her virginity in America to a former NAVY Seal who’s hot but a bit wild. It’s a new adult genre that has some erotic chapters, but it is a great story first and foremost.

For those of you who don’t follow me on Facebook, I periodically ask questions of my friends, on my timeline, about all kinds of things. After having a conversation with my daughter about the different words for breasts, I decided to ask my Facebook crew how they weigh in on the terms. Terms ran the gambit from breast, boobs, tits, boobies, mammaries, the girls, to milk jugs, twin peaks, bazookas, knockers, fun bags, sweet tomatoes, and many others. Continue reading

Hi Blakely! Thank you so much for having me on your blog today 🙂 I’m a British gal who grew up in Portugal. I starting writing full time in 2011 and have since published eight books. My latest, which will be out in November is a contemporary romance called And Then There Was You. It’s about infidelity, passion, love. I’ve just had feedback from a beta reader who told me it made her laugh and cry. She loved it! Phew 🙂 Continue reading
Ugly love by Colleen Hoover is by far my favorite book this year. I’ve read other books I really enjoyed like Wonder by R.J. Palacio or ones I didn’t care for like Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn (I know I’m in the minority with that one). Why did Ugly Love speak to me so clearly? I’ll tell you. Continue reading

I’ve recently published my first book called Forgotten Things to Say, a collection of poetry reflecting the journey of a young heart trying to forget a past love. It’s available for 2.99 USD on Amazon and FREE on KNOLL, so it would be totally awesome if you could check that out. Continue reading
November is the month for me to get off my ass, literally and figuratively. Although I’m not entering any of the Nanowrimo contests and I’ve already started my novel, I am using the daily discipline to help me finish Blue Persuasion this month. That’s right, you heard it here first! Continue reading
