HEALING SUMMER Blog Tour

The lovely and hilarious Elizabeth Seckman is here for her HEALING SUMMER blog tour. Give her a warm welcome. For fun, I gave her the following prompt to finish: "I had no idea I was dating a paranormal creature..."

I had no idea I was dating a paranormal creature. My family says it’s ‘cause  I am as clueless as a polygamists’ wife on the Jerry Springer show.

I say that's not fair!

I mean, sure he was slightly hairy. I thought he was Italian! And yes he'd bay at the moon...periodically...he's from Jersey...I thought he was calling for a cab.

And that flea infestation? Well, I figured worse case...he's a dog. Like a man dog, who brought home an STD.

But I never figured him for a werewolf!

How did I finally figure it out?

Well, contrary to what people say, I do have some smarts, and I was pretty sure something was up when the vet called to schedule his yearly physical- and rabies vaccine.

I was like, oh now, this ain't right. So I went to wiki answers and asked...my boyfriend's been acting funny doin' this and that and...well, someone said, he might be a werewolf!

So, I called my niece...she's ten and she reads books, so she knows just about everything there is to know about that sort of stuff...and she said to give him silver. If he can't touch it, he's a werewolf.

Off I went to Wal Mart and got him a silver necklace. I made it a cross just to be sure. Then while he was eating his kibble treats, I snuck up behind him and put it around his neck. Now let me tell you...he sizzled!
I shouted, "Oh my gawd! You are a werewolf!"

Well, long story short, we've been happily married now for a year. It works pretty good. I can put up with his fleas and his plugging the drain with hair ‘cause he's still my man... I mean come on, no marriage is perfect.

Maybe Love, Not Time, Heals All Wounds

Ditched at the altar…biopsied for cancer…Mollie Hinkle is having a bona fide bitch of a summer. When life sucks so hard it takes your breath away, what's a girl to do? Pack a bag, grab a few friends, and leave the past and the worry in the rear view mirror. What wounds can’t be healed by a drive across the Heartland, where quarter flips at cross roads determine the route and the future? All roads lead to Craig, the second son and bad boy of the haughty Coulter line. Has fate brought her to the miniscule Montana town to find happily ever after or will it just break her heart?

“Healing Summer” is the second book in the Coulter Men Series.
