What’s Your Nosh Tuesdays? Today Patricia Herlevi Shares

IMG_0343 Psst! Over here. It’s me, Sir Poops. Me and Hair Ball are actually hosting ‘What’s Your Favorite Nosh Tuesdays?’ Sorry, but we had to disguise ourselves as Mummsy when we sent out e-mails last week. We’re looking for some treats. And it’s a way for Newbie and Indie authors to promote themselves and their books, too.

Yeah. We like treats.  We like to nosh on just about anything. So please come share with Sir Poops and me.  What are your books? Show us your excerpts. Or, just be an attention-hog like me. I love all the attention. But please don’t forget to leave us your favorite nosh before you go.

So we’d like you all to welcome Indie Author, Patricia Herlevi to show off her stuff and share her favorite nosh with us. Everyone stand-up and give her applause. ***they both clap their paws together***

 

patricia Herlevi

SPAL & HB: Thank you for stopping by. Do tell us what you like to nosh on, pretty lady, when you’re writing? Tell us why you like it. ***they both wag their tales***

PH: Preferably chocolate, but yogurt with nuts tossed in or with Vega protein powder gives me an extra boost. When I can afford it, I enjoy eating Coconut Bliss, the vanilla flavor.

SPAL & HB: She likes chocolate. ***they lick their lips*** We want some. Is it crunchy or soft?

PH: Definitely soft and creamy, but chocolate is hard and crunchy.

SPAL & HB: We like things we can chew on. Is it salty or sweet?

PH: Sweet.

SPAL & HB: We like sweet. Does it get your creative juices flowing? 

PH:The chocolate definitely does--fair trade, organic dark chocolate.


SPAL & HB: Mummsy eats oraganic foodies, too. Do you have any published books out there?  If so. what are they? Where can we find them?

PH: Yes.  "Go Lucy" on Create Space and Amazon, http://www.createspace.com/3857631

Blue Agnes et Yves

SPAL & HB: Thank you for sharing your treats with us. And for  sharing your books with us, too. Mummsy read Agnes et Yves and really liked it. And to everyone else please help support your Newbie and Indie authors. Buy and read their books. Patricia Herlevi writes humor in her books.

HB: We hope to see you again.

SPAL: Yes. And we’ll make sure Mummsy gets Go Lucy. And also, please bring some of that organic chocolate with you when you come back.

HB: Yeah. Make sure it’s the crunchy kind. And don’t tell our Mummsy either.

SPAL & HB: Bye. ***they wave their paws and their tales as they watch Patricia walk away***

HB: She was a nice lady.

SPAL: Yes. Nice lady who likes organic chocolate. I hope she brings us some.

I’m Doing a Threesome Today

FOOLED YAs! NOT REALLY! But I got your attention. Right? Today, I’m doing three mini book reviews. I intended to do these a while ago but it was around the time Glowstick came to live with me. Well, to let you know, he’s back with my daughter and she’s still doing outpatient rehab. Things aren’t exactly the way I want them, judges look at grandparents like they’ve got ten heads, and DCF... well…whatever. That’s all I have to say about that.

So on with the book reviews…

I heart me this first book --- like twenty-five hearts. It’s the second book in the Sabrina Strong Series.This book is soooo hot it sizzles. Lorelei introduces us to more hotties.

vampires trill

Sabrina’s got herself some problems. Men. Vampire, werewolves, an incubus, and a Nephillim. Like they say, you can’t live with them or without them. But here, I think she could dump a few and would probably like to. Some want her dead. Some want her in their bed. Some want to marry her and get her pregnant with some super-hybrid-baby. But her heart belongs to one person. A shape-shifter but he died. Oh my…

You can find Lorelei’s book at Amazon .

Pricing:

Paperback sells for $16.95

Kindle Edition sells for $6.95

Second Book

This one get’s Shelly’s TFF Award --- what does TFF stand for? That’s my secret but I’m sure you can figure it out. It’s hilarious, delightful, and original.

Agnes et Yves

The story Patricia created revolves around three characters. Agnes, Yves, and Ann Marie.

Agnes is an art journalist for a mainstream art magazine in L.A. She’s got serious issues with her newest assignment. French artist. French men. French anything. Her published piece and odd behavior gets her fired. After, she sells everything and hops a plane to Spain. Those were intentions anyway.

Yves is a French artist living in Paris, France but his inspiration has dried up. And his live-in lover/muse is driving him crazy. Ann Marie. He’d love to dump her. And she’s doing everything to make him settle down and conform to her standards. This does not include painting.

Strange and unforeseen events bring these three together into a hilarious love triangle.

You can find Patricia Herlevi’s book at Amazon .

Pricing:

Paperback sells for $10.80

Kindle Edition sells for $9.99

The third book

This one gets TWENTY-FIVE SHINY SHELLY STARS. Why give five when you can give more. Right?

bad day

Devon Cooper did a genius job creating Bad Day. Who’d ever thought one could find love and lust being stuck in an elevator because of a bomb threat? This story will not only get you laughing but crying. As funny as it is, it’s also sensitive. I highly recommend this book, too.

You can find Devon Cooper’s book at Amazon .

Pricing:

Paperback sells for $14.99

Kindle Edition sells for $3.09

Ooooo! And starting Tuesdays, I’ll be doing ‘What’s Your Nosh Tuesdays’. It’s to help promote the new and Indie author’s books or, a piece you’re working on. So a lot of you will be getting an e-mail from me with interview questions.

That’s all for today folks.

Later in the ink all,

Shelly

Unfortunately, This Blog is Going on Hiatus

IMG_0264 Good morning, everyone!

Yup. I have to put my blogging on hiatus. For one, I’ve been given a mission to keep Glowstick safe and some how get my daughter straight (she’s in the above picture with Glowstick).

Within the last 48 hours, new info has surfaced on my daughter. It’s not good. Especially since, I’ve taken the time to get her into the programs she needs.

In her own way, she’s head butting the right thing to do and is choosing her toxic master. I can only hope and pray that this toxin won’t vomit out who she really is. Over my dead body, she loses herself to this demon.

I’ve had to make the decision to file for custody of my granson. Sadly, this will put her at odds with me but the baby is the innocent victim and has no say in his mother’s whims.

Emily

And I struggle with this…being at odds with my own daughter.

Today, I was going to post three great book reviews: Agnes Et Yves, by Patricia Herlevi, Bad Day, by Devon Cooper, and Vampire’s Trill, by Lorelei Bell. All three are great reads. Really. I loved each book. All well-written. That’s all I can do for now. Sorry, guys. I can barely focus at this moment.

Also, Lorelei Bell awarded me the Random Acts of Kindness Award, and I can’t even get my brain in order to do this properly, other than to say, thank you.

So for awhile I won’t be posting. I can’t do it all. The work, other peep’s edits, the baby, and getting Secondhand Shoes out. This all really sucks. Family comes first above all else.

But I will keep up with the blog reading/comments and from time to time I will keep you all informed on what’s going on until I can return fully.

Today, I have to prepare numerous documents for the courts that I’ll be filing on Tuesday. A lot of my time will be spent in the law library to aide me in acting as my own attorney on behalf of my grandson.

Glowstick needs me and so does my daughter.

Your prayers, positive thoughts, and aspirations are truly appreciated.

Indie Author, Patricia Herlevi, Agnes et Yves is Ready to Order

I promised Patricia, I’d share her new book with everyone on my blog today. Of course, there were interruptions like getting called into work. NoNo needed to be picked up from someplace and taken to another place. But hey, I’m Wonder Woman, right?

Anyway, Patricia, is an Indie author. She’s also a freelance writer and is the blog keeper at Patricia Herlevi. Her writing is inspirational and spiritual. She’s a great photographer, too.

Agnes et Yves

Book blurb: Meet Agnes Cass, a jaded arts journalist and Francophobe residing in San Francisco. Agnes' initiation into French art occurs when the editor of Art World assigns her to cover French expatriate painters. Watching every French stereotype come to life before her own eyes, Agnes exposes the sexual exploits of the French artists. Meanwhile she falls in love with a flamenco guitarist on tour. As her life grows more intolerable she decides to escape to Spain. Destined for Barcelona and a steamy romance with an unsuspecting Spanish suitor, Agnes' plans derail when her plane is grounded in Paris during a transportation strike.
Agnes encounters Yves Gervais, a Picasso-obsessed painter going through a "Blue Period". His muse-turned-tyrant Anne-Marie launches a makeover plan for the painter that involves a real job, marriage and children. The more Anne-Marie insists on having things her way the more the artist regresses into childish behavior, seeking his freedom to paint above all else. Meanwhile an art collector takes an interest in Yves' future work. The painter grows desperate without a model. When push comes to shove, Yves breaks it off with his muse and woos the unsuspecting Agnes, but will frog legs win the day?

It’s in paperback only for 10.00 dollars on Amazon.

It’s on my TBR list, folks. Look for a review from me in a couple months.

Okay. I need to dash off to my next adventure. Dinner with friends this evening.

See you all later in the ink,

Shelly
