One of my favorite vacation spots
is Monterey Bay, California. My husband and I travel in a 5th wheel
trailer and love the Marina Dunes RV Park.
The RV Park is within walking distance to the ocean beach which allows
dogs. That’s a perk, as we travel with a
dog who enjoys the coastline, a parrot who loves to watch people and a
forty-five year old box turtle who enjoys the sand.
I love to visit the Monterey Bay
Aquarium. I can spend a whole day there, sometimes more if time allows. Inside
there’s a cafĂ© and outside a deck for watching the marine creatures in the bay.
Can’t be beat in my humble opinion.
A few miles down the road on
Cannery Row is a fantastic mexican restaurant, El Torito. It has inside seating along ocean front
windows where you can view seals sunning themselves on the rocks, sea birds swooping
and diving in the ocean, and kaykas negotiating the shore lines.
Another must see is Cannery Row,
the quaint shops, variety of restaurants, and sourdough bread bowls are well
worth the visit. Not to mention the clam chowder.
Monterery Bay’s misty atmosphere
inspires my creative muse on each visit and we visit often. I’m working on a
paranormal romance set in the area.

Tagline: In his darkest hours she
is dragged into his magical world. If they survive, is she strong enough to
heal his heart and tame the warlock?
Book Description:
Years ago a sacred ceremony at
the Dragon’s Moon Coven, turned deadly. Son of the high priestess, Tristian
Shandie’s life changed forever. With a price on his head and revenge in his
heart, he has no choice but to follow in his father’s footsteps to a profession
shrouded in secrets. Now his skills as an enforcer for the Demon Overlord are
second to none. But dangerous secrets he harbors are a liability he can no
longer afford.
A chance meeting with a woman he
finds irresistible flips Tristian’s world upside down. Hannah is a cyber
security specialist with secrets of her own. Bad boys never appealed to her
until Tristian, who changes everything. In his darkest hours she is dragged
into his magical world. If they survive, is she strong enough to heal his heart
and tame the warlock? Or will their secrets destroy them?
Excerpt:
He offered his
hand to Hannah as she stood, wrapped an arm around her waist and guided her out
of the diner. "How about a ride up the coast?"
"Sure as
soon as you explain how you held those teens down without touching them."
She smiled up at him knowingly.
"And don't give me that crap about telling me or killing me."
A slight grin
curved the corners of his mouth. "How about on an as needed basis and you
don't need to know?"
A soft laugh
bubbled up from her throat. "If I had to guess, I'd say you're a warlock
with well-honed powers." She tilted her head up towards his. "Would I
be right?"
HIs grin faded
replaced with a stormy expression. "Where would you get that absurd
idea? They merely tripped and had
trouble getting up. I suggested they stay put until the police showed up. Simple as that."
"Right. Well on that note, I'll see myself
home." She turned to her car and opened the door.
For a moment, he
considered letting her go. Women are more trouble than they’re worth anyway.
That's when the meddling voice of Birch wafted through Tristian's mind. She's moved on, so should you. Damn faeries anyway. I'm sure he's using some
kind of magic to do this to me.
"Okay, you
win. But only if you tell me why you are disguising your magic signature."
He leaned against the car a smirk on his face.
