And it&#8217;s October, which means awesome baseball! Except my team didn&#8217;t make it to the postseason, I still had fun watching all year. So who do I root for to win it all?<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #333399;\">Work in Progress News ~ <\/span><\/strong>I&#8217;ve been working on my ski patrol story, titled Letters from Victor. Maybe I&#8217;ll get it done before ski season! Wouldn&#8217;t that be great? I&#8217;ll put sweet chocolaty offerings on my Muse&#8217;s shrine, we&#8217;ll see if that helps. I signed up for the Romance Times convention in Dallas in May of 2015, and I refuse to go without a new book out, so maybe that will light a fire under my butt.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong> Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/strong><\/span> Keith Urban&#8217;s new one.
