and despair in the Pacific. Relieved to put the horrors of war behind him, Jim went
home to his apple orchard and a quiet life with his wife and children. Knowing Jim
could never return his forbidden feelings, Cal hoped time and an ocean between them
would dull the yearning for his best friend.But when Jim’s wife dies, Cal returns to help. He doesn’t know
a thing about apple farming—or children—but he’s determined to be there for Jim,
even as the painful torch he carries blazes back to life. Jim is grateful for his
friend’s support as he struggles with buried emotions and dark wartime memories.
Then Jim begins to see Cal in a new light, and their relationship deepens in ways
neither expected. Can they build a life together as a family and find happiness
in a world that would condemn them?Buy This Book

Graffiti: Art or Vandalism? Naomi Bellina author of Don’t Say No #RLFblog #graffiti
Don’t Say No I read a book some time ago that featured taggers, or graffiti
artists. I found the subject fascinating and had to do more research. According
to an article at the Center
for Problem-Oriented Policing, there are four major types of graffiti, all problematic
and some gang related. Then there are other articles like this one at Smashing
Magazine, that portray graffiti as art. Check out the examples they show here,
or these by female
street artists. I wouldn’t mind having some of this artwork on the building
at my business.If I did decide to decorate the outside of my shop, how would
I go about finding a graffiti artist? An Internet search brought up a Facebook page, a Tumblr page, and many
more sites all over the world. Not too many in my area, but I’m sure I could hunt
one down, possibly listing themselves as a mural artist.Beautiful as it is, sometimes the pictures are done without permission.
In Don’t Say No, unwelcome graffiti is painted all over the outside of a spa on
grand opening day. Curse words, not beautiful pictures. My hero and heroine come
up with a creative solution to solve the problem.Have you ever seen graffiti that you’d like painted on your walls?
Thanks so much for reading.About the Book
