While you’re enjoying your parades and cookouts this weekend, don’t for get to take a moment to remember those who gave their all to make this great country what it is today. Then take another moment and remember those who are continuing the thankless task of keeping our country safe and free.
Have a safe and wonderful 4th of July!

Seriously though, I’ve been a bit absent from my blog and the web over the past few weeks and I figure it was about time to explain. Back in May I started not feeling so well. After a trip to my doc I ended up in a kidney specialist office with a preliminary diagnosis of Nephrotic Syndrome. Needless to say, finding out your kidneys are damaged is a scary thing. Learning that the doctor doesn’t know why is even worse. He ‘thinks’ it was caused by the same virus that causes strep throat. If untreated, it can apparently travel through the body and wreak havoc on the internal organs. Who knew?
So, in order to determine the exact cause, I’m in the process of having tests run and fighting fatigue while I wait. I’m probably facing a biopsy sometime in the next month or so. I’ll admit when my doc first mentioned it, all kinds of scary scenarios raced through my head. The word ‘biopsy’ is never associated with anything good, despite what my doctor tells me. Since then, I’ve had time to get things in perspective. Hell, I’ve given birth - twice! I’ve had needles in my back before, so what’s one more? And if it will give us the answers that will hopefully make me better, then I say bring it on. If by chance it is something worse, then at least I’ll know what I’m facing. Either way, it’s time for answers.
Meanwhile, my posts on here may be a bit sporadic, and for that I apologize. Some days are harder than others and between working a ‘real job’, taking care of my kiddos and hubby, there’s very little energy left for writing and such. I am still trying to plug away on some new projects. It’s a slow process, but I endeavor to continue and push through this bump in the road. I’m going to try and do better at keeping up on my blog so be sure to keep checking back because you never know when something blog worthy might pop up.
Thanks,
Michelle
5 stars!
This was a great read! Michelle Cary captured all the emotions, thoughts and everyday dilemmas that wives and mothers everywhere feel, and somehow managed to turn it into a sexy, steamy, romantic voyage of rediscovering your spouse, as well as yourself.
I only have good things to say about this book, and I have never read a more real-to-life author. If you haven’t already, be sure to add Michelle Cary to your list. And while you are at it, grab yourself a copy of For Better or for Worse, you won’t be disappointed.

Finally! After months of edits, galley proofs and what seemed like endless road blocks I have a release date. Mark your calendars everyone. October 24th will be the e-release for my first ever romantic suspense novel. I’m so proud of this story and I can’t wait to share it will you all.
All this week I’m the Author Spotlight over at the Whipped Cream website. Each day this week there will be an article I wrote posted. Simply read the article and answer the question to be entered to win a free downlaod of my latest release For Better For Worse, available now at Loose ID. It’s that simple.
On Saturday I had my very first book signing. It was held at the Borders Express in the Voorhees Town Center (formally the Echelon Mall) in Voorhees, NJ. I was so nervous that moring I didn’t eat and my husband was a gem. He not only kept the kids out of my path he took dollbaby to a friend’s birthday party that should wouldn’t have been able to attend otherwise. I walked into the store nervous as hell and wondering exactly what I was supposed to do. Thankfully for me within a few minutes of being there I sold a book and from there I found my footing and dug in.
Many people wouldn’t even look at me when they walked in. Others would give me a curious glance and say hi, but kept walking. Other’s would engage me in coversation, but didn’t purchase a book. All in all by the time my two hours was up, I’d sold six of the ten copies the store had ordered. With nothing to gauge by I can only assume that’s a good thing. At three o’clock I signed the remaining stock, packed up my things, purchased a couple of books for my kiddos, thanked the sales associates for having me and left.
The great thing is, I’ve been invited back for a second signing when my next book hits print next year!
