Luna

Salsa for Summer Camp

By SC Dane
Aah, summer. It has finally arrived, and with it comes the feast
of the senses.
The touch of grass, a cool and lush carpet beneath bare feet,
the sprigs tickling between the toes.
The sounds of dogs barking as they chase screeching kids high
on the abandon of summer vacation. Screen doors slap, lawn mowers drone like flies.
The sight of tanned, bare chested men. Hands down the best part
of summer.
The smell of warmth and lazy flowers, cut lawns and salty oceans,
caressed aloft upon breezes that kiss the skin.
Finally, the taste. The tantalizing paramour to smell, who delivered
to our taste buds the appetizing aroma of the backyard grill, watering our mouths
for the dishes only summer can provide. Corn on the cob, watermelon, potato salad.
And fresh salsa, with bits of sun-kissed tomato, sharp onion,
and cilantro stretching from the baked earth of the garden to the vast blue of a
cloudless sky. An explosion of flavors worthy of being served on the Fourth of July.

Fresh Salsa

8-10 tomatoes
1 medium onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded
1/2 bunch of cilantro
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup white vinegar
Juice squeezed from one lime
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste.
Dice, dice, dice your butt off. Don’t cheat and grind the veggies
up in a food processor. You want this salsa chunky. Let it sit overnight in the
fridge, and stir it on occasion to get those veggies besotted with the vinegar and
citrus.
Speaking of besotted, ahem. Summer is also the season of Romance.
Strolls on the beach with your summer fling, and warm nights perfect for skinny
dipping.
Which makes it the ideal time to give thanks to the gals at MFRW
(Marketing For Romance Writers). Like a mini Amazonian army, they have recruited
and led many a writing soldier onto the battlefield of marketing and swept them
on to victory. They’ve done so with grace, humor that still leaves me smiling, and
a loyalty to their fellow authors that makes me proud to be a comrade in arms.
Thank you. Not only have you provided the leadership, but also
the forum with which we romance writers can compare and console and commiserate
with our peers. You’ve given us shoulders to cry on and ears to gripe to, and oh
yes! the steps from which to launch our passions.
They’ve also given me a place to roast my virtual marshmallows
during this Summer Camp fun. Visit tinyurl.com/mfrwgroup
to follow The Taste of Summer July 12-14th, and, because I know you want to, croon
out your tuneless rendition of Kumbaya. We’ll all join in (okay, we’ll laugh and
point), but it’s still good times!
See you ’round the campfire.

The powers that be at Amazon
got my author name screwed up for my “Luna” book, but my publisher is
working on getting that fixed.

Blurb for Luna:

Beth is a misfit struggling to be a responsible woman in human
society. Then she meets Alec, a mysterious stranger, who knows by her scent that
she is a rare Luna, the only being who can ensure the future of his wolf-pack. When
human beings injure Alec, Beth retreats from the stagnant safety of her human world
and surrenders her fate to the wolf-man.
Beth’s and Alec’s love for one another ignites the power of the
Luna that courses through her veins, and she must learn the laws of being wild wolf
if she is to live with Alec and his pack. But they are not the only wolf-people
who covet the blood of Luna, and Beth must learn to harness the consuming power
of her Luna and use it to safeguard her new family, even if it means giving up the
very thing she was born to protect.
Set in the countryside of Maine, this novel unfolds as Beth surrenders
her body to its absolute essence while she is protected by the loyal wolves she
is destined to love. But their world is not only precious, it is also perilous,
and Beth’s freshened passion for life just may be the catalyst for her death.
