Alex stayed home sick yesterday, so this morning was his first day of school:

ADVERTISE HERE
Pay it forward.
GRAVY
- My first novel started with a mole. Yes, a MOLE - a freckle, a birthmark, whatever you want to call it.
- I was at the pool with my daughter getting ignored by our swim instructor when a lifeguard with a particularly ripped abdomen walked by. He stopped to flirt with one of the female lifeguards and my eyes flew directly to an adorable mole on the top can of his six-pack.
- "How cute!" I thought (among other things). "He looks like a character in a romance novel!"
- So I went home and started writing fiction for the first time. That was over a year ago and I still haven't been able to stop. GRAVY is the story of a suburban housewife who wants another baby, but gets a man with a mole instead.
- GRAVY is now available on Kindle and Nook!

What an adorable photo of him. He looks so ready and eager!
Can't wait to hear the first-day-of-school story.
