Do You Remember When Flight Attendants Wore These Uniforms?

I looked at this video with flight attendant uniforms, and to be honest there were a lot of uniforms I didn't recognize.  So, I'm posting the video for everyone to look at, and the person who is familiar with the most outfits worn by stewardesses will win a prize: a bag of print books, but none will be mine. 

Just leave a comment giving me the number of uniforms you remember, and the one with the highest quantity will win.  Go to:  http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/lifestyle/2013/08/fab-flight-attendant-flashback/

Have fun folks.  I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. 

Thank you for reading my blog, and I hope your week is fantastic.  I'll see you next Sunday.

Best always,

Does Sex Sell?

We see all the glossy magazines with photos of beautiful models both women and men.  They advertise clothes, shoes, perfumes, hair products, makeup and numerous other items.  There are even more advertisements on television with gorgeous women and hunky men. 

What woman hasn't drooled over the beautiful swishing hair of actress/model Andie McDowell? Everyone would love to look like the models who wear Cover Girl makeup. Sometimes, dancers are used to model clothes and shoes, especially kids' shoes. 

You're probably wondering what is bringing about all these thoughts, so I'm going to get to the point now.  My publisher decided a while back to make new covers for my books; you know update their look.  The first thing I noticed was there is a sexy looking couple on each cover. 

The romantic couples look great on my new book covers, but I am going to be eager to learn if these covers sell more books.  What do you think, does sex sell?

Have a great week, and I'll see you next weekend.

I Am Back

Hi Folks,

As you can see I have been working on my blog again.  It's so much fun rearranging things.  Wink!  I have been busy writing on a short story, and I'm about to finish it up.  Also, if you look down the right side of my blog, you'll see I have downloaded new book covers.

My publisher, Eirelander Publishing, decided the bookcovers for my mystery trilogy needed to be updated.  They are going to be re-released at the end of August.  Until then they won't be for sale.  Another change is my publisher will not have a store front at their site to sell books, but all books will be sold at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, All Romance E-books, and other spots. 

Below is another contest at Romance Books 4 Us.  Be sure to join in the fun and win some great prizes by going to http://www.romancebooks4us.com
