Rocky Road Candy... today is Rocky Road Day!
By Lyncee Shillard (Guest Blogger)
Hey
hey everyone!
I’m
so glad to be here again. And thank you Lisabet for having me again!
I’m chat about accordions, rocky roads, wood bison, and to give
away a 10$ Amazon gift card.
Let’s
start with a couple of did you knows for June….
It’s
national candy month (yup we need an entire month devoted to candy) –
what’s your favorite???? Mine is peanut M&M’s.
It’s
national accordion awareness month – I’m not sure why. I mean I
have nothing against the accordion but to honor this awareness here
is a accordian random fact: "Play
Your Accordion" was a television game show/talent contest that
aired in Russia.
Now
for June 1st
…
It
is rocky road day (I have a recipe for rocky road candy with vodka
and without over on my blog if you are interested). I prefer turtle
sundaes over rocky road sundaes. Do you love rocky road sundaes?
It’s
also catchfly flower day. Now to be totally honest I didn’t know
these were flowers. They grow like crazy all over where I live, and
we call them weeds. BUT it seems that it traps flies and other
insects on it’s sticky petals. The flies are tricked by their
appealing scent (yeah, not sure what scent appeals to flies but it
can’t be good) and fly in then are caught in the sticky goop.
Emilee
knows about deadly tricks. She goes to Alaska thinking she’s going
to get the interview of a lifetime, only she ends up the target of a
serial killer…
My
newest romance suspense, The Prank, is up for pre-order at
https://books2read.com/u/m2ZLBd
and will be available on the 15th
(maybe earlier!)
When
Emilee
learns that the reclusive Ted McGraft is going to visit a wood bison
reserve in Alaska, she jumps at the chance to get an interview. She
figures spending time with big, ugly, hairy things is a small price
to pay for this career maker opportunity.
Only
she arrives to learn that her cousin has pranked her…. Instead of
landing an interview of a lifetime, she needs to figure out how to
stay alive. She finds herself trapped in an Alaska snowstorm with
a sexy animal reserve owner, and a serial killer.
Excerpt
Emilee
held the phone in the air and started to turn a slow circle.
"That's
because you don't know my pen name, dumb ass. And why you would have
let me come if you didn't think I was a reporter?" She lowered
the phone. "Oh my God, you're some kind of serial killer? And
the guy shooting at us is your partner? I’m involved in some sort
of sick cat and mouse game.” Her hand disappeared into one of the
pockets of her pale blue coat and when she pulled it out, she held a
pepper spray canister. "I’m no timid mouse. I do kickboxing
three times a week. Have taken over thirty self-defense classes. And
I'm licensed to use this.” She waved the canister in his face. “So
back up, sicko, and tell GI Joe to crawl out of the slime pool he’s
hiding in."
He
stood for a minute, unsure if he wanted to laugh or choke her.
"You're the one who contacted me to come up here. Unless things
have really changed since I've relocated to Alaska, serial killers
lure their victims in, not just wait for them to call pretending to
be a reporter." How could one female annoy him and turn him on
so much in such a short a period of time?
“It
could be a new angle you and your perverted partner worked up to fool
the Criminal Mind type of people. Get a bunch of smelly, hairy
animals and when people come to see your farm, you torture them to
death.”
He
curled his hands into tight balls to keep from reaching out and
shaking the woman.
"My
phone isn't getting a signal," she growled, moving closer to the
window. An eerie whistle filled his cabin and Gurther started to
growl. Emilee's eyes narrowed, and she lifted the canister, pointing
it at him. "What was that?"

And
now for the 10$ Amazon gift card give away… Emilee was tricked into
going to Alaska, tell me of a time you pranked someone or was
pranked. And if you don’t want to share or don’t have anything to
share – just drop me a hi.
I’ll
announce the winner on Thursday.
If
you would like to come and hang out with me…we will talk doughnuts,
vodka, and planners…
