Well everyone, I’m doing something new this week. I’m in Mexico (in August) sweating because it’s about 90% humidity when it isn’t raining. My daughter and I are doing a vegan/raw cleanse at a yoga retreat. Yeah. So anyone ever hear me talk about yoga? No? That’s because I haven’t done it in years, but I am now! Twice a day! So guess what I’m learning while here… Vegan food can be fabulous! Especially when it’s lots of fresh mango and avocado Surrender. As in my body surrendered into poses I didn’t think I could make. And then my shoulder surrendered when I tried a chaturanga and landed face first into my yoga mat. Oops. I can get used to feeling sweaty and sticky, especially when I’m exhausted from yoga and zenning out while watching the ocean waves. Everything’s good when reading a great book. Answer: All of the above! Yup, the food here is great. My shoulder did indeed give up the ghost on day 5. No more yoga for me. But that just means I have more time to read and watch the waves! And well, everyone’s sweaty here, so it’s all good!  BTW, I missed the turtle…

There are many things that inspire me, and one that’s close to my heart are movies. I love spending more than an hour or two getting lost in a good romance film. It’s like reading, except faster, and have more control of your imagination because the faces, voices and places are already visually given to you. But the feelings a scene invokes can sometimes be stronger since you can see it. Here are a few movies that have inspired me. The Notebook Noah and Allie. These two are my ultimate OTP. He was the cocky, fun, confident guy who was born on the wrong side of the tracks. She was the good girl, her days occupied with Mathematics and piano lessons who was spoiled by her rich parents. But it wasn’t until they met each other that their passions were unleashed and changed their priorities. Love letters, the one that got away, a man hellbent on finishing a house with the love of his life in his mind. There’s something about that first true love that changes something in you and stays with you, and every relationship after that will be tainted by that memory, because like Noah said, “It…

From Gail’s House Newsie News My new historical romance series called “The Baldwins of Manhattan”, is set in New York City in the late 1800s. Joseph Baldwin, the patriarch is a newspaper publisher who owns six major newspapers in the United States (think William Randolf Hearst). Each book in the series follows the lives and loves of the five Baldwin children – Adam, Allie, Mia, and twins Emma and Ava who live with their equally wonderful parents, Joseph and Clara Baldwin in a unique apartment building called The Sandanko, in the then remote upper area of Manhattan. (It was not called the Upper West Side until the 20th century.) Well, to be honest, Adam, lives in Chicago and runs his father’s Chicago newspaper there (Adam’s book will be the final book in the series, and wait until you see what I have planned for Adam! His life will be turned upside down when he FINALLY finds true love. But back to the Sandanko. I situated this wonderful living facility, just across from Central Park. This building houses 60 families and will provide the backdrop for the Baldwin family series and more series to come! In fact, The Sandanko will be…
