My answer:
This is a good question, and maybe you can even help, because I find my situation to be strange. I can’t read if there is music on. I find it too distracting. Whenever the hubby is home, especially when we are sitting in the backyard by the pool, it’s a given, there is music. However, if I am in my “reading room” or reading in bed, I have to have the TV on but with the volume low. Strange, don’t you think? When there is music, I have trouble staying focused even if it’s one of those books that I call a “transport” book, the kind of book that I am so engrossed that I don’t know what is going on around me. Music is the one thing that can interrupt that state of mind, whereas the TV doesn’t. I really don’t know why that is….any thoughts????
We have another thrilling E-VENT coming up on 6/27 at 3 p.m. ET in honor of release of THE JEFFERSON KEY by internationally bestselling author Steve Berry. The Jefferson Key landed at number four on the New York Times bestseller list last week! Details are below.
One party-goer will win the entire Cotton Malone series, autographed by Steve! 10-others will win a signed copy of THE JEFFERSON KEY!
**Also, be sure to enter the “Save History with Steve Berry” contest**
Would you kindly let me know if you can attend? Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you—
All the best,
Sarah

Tricia from Meryl L. Moss Media is once again giving me the opportunity to host and introduce a very busy, talented and Best Selling author. So without further ado, a very warm welcome for Ms. Lori Foster !!
Lori believes it’s important to give back to the community as much as possible, and for that reason she ran special contests in conjunction with a publisher, facilitating many first sales for new authors. She routinely organizes events among authors and readers to gather donations for various organizations.
Along with her good friend, Dianne Castell, Lori hosts a very special annual “Reader & Author” event in West Chester, Ohio. Proceeds from the event have benefited many worthy causes, including the Hamilton County YWCA Battered Women’s Shelter, the Animal Adoption Foundation, The Conductive Learning Center for children with spina bifida and cerebral palsy, and The One Way Farm, Children’s Home.
In 2007, Lori put together The Write Ingredients a cookbook of recipes donated by popular authors. Proceeds from the cookbook go toward Lori’s ongoing “Troop project” of collecting and mailing fun, and sometimes necessary, items to our troops.
In 2008, Lori coordinated with other authors of her choosing, and through Berkley, arranged for the publication of The Power of Love, a special romance anthology of novellas about empowering women. All author and agent proceeds from the anthology go to the Hamilton Co YWCA Battered women’s shelter.
In 2009, Tails of Love, another romance anthology with Lori and other contributing authors, was published through Berkley with all agent and author proceeds to benefit The Animal Adoption Foundation.
In 2010, The Gift of Love romance anthology, with Lori and other contributing authors, was published with proceeds to benefit The Conductive Learning Center, a school for children with cerebral palsy and spina bifida.
In 2011, The Promise of Love, a romance anthology with Lori and other contributing authors, will be published with proceeds to benefit the One Way Farm, a home for abused and abandoned children.
Undercover mercenary Trace Rivers loves the adrenaline rush of a well-planned mission. First he’ll earn the trust of corrupt businessman Murray Coburn, then gather the proof he needs to shut down the man’s dirty smuggling operation. It’s a perfect scheme—until Coburn’s long-lost daughter saunters in with her own deadly plan for revenge.
With a smile like an angel and fire in her eyes, Priscilla Patterson isn’t who she seems to be. But neither is the gorgeous bodyguard who ignites all her senses. Joining forces to plot Coburn’s downfall, Priss and Trace must fight the undeniable heat between them. For one wrong move, one lingering embrace will expose them to the wrath of a merciless opponent.
