USA Today Bestselling Author Mary Smith

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope everyone is well! I just wanted to give you a little update about what is going on in my author world. Thanks to Angie , the best PA in the world, she has helped me complete the FINAL Roster of ... drum roll please ... THE NEXT GENERATION OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE BEARS! That's right, 20 more books of hot hockey players will be coming your way! I can't promise no more tears, BUT ... BUT ... I am thinking of doing these a little bit different. I am looking to make these more romantic and less dramatic. Now, don’t get me wrong, there will be some drama. I can’t create stories without some drama! HAHA! However, maybe not as my normal amount of drama. Now, this is where you all come in at! Are you ready? Sometimes the hardest part of me creating stories is coming up with names! Typically, I use a baby book. (I know that sounds silly, but it helps). Sometimes, I just see a name on a cashier, or salesperson, and I mix up the letter...

I love to watch movies! Probably too much, but I love to watch movies. Like books, they can touch you in some way and impact your way of thinking. Some make you laugh; some make you cry; some make you think, and some bring back the best and/or worst memories.  Let's begin with my list ... 1) Harry Potter    I have loved Harry Potter since the day I read the first book, in the early 2000's. A friend had recommended it to me and from the first chapter I was hooked. I even have a HP tattoo! When the announcement came regarding the movies, my heart sank. Come on, we're all Boo Nerds and sometimes the movie just ruins it. (Need I remind you about Percy Jackson  😒😒😒 ) However, when the first movie dropped, I was there with my overpriced popcorn ready to be transported to Hogwarts! Needless to say, I love them. Yes, there are changes from the books to the movie, but not enough for me to really complain about. And I still watch them to this day!  2...

As the states begin to open up and life returns to some sort of normalcy, I started to think about vacation. I need one! From the move from West Virginia to Texas, the stress of packing/unpacking/tossing/keeping/donating my items, and my insane book release schedule, I am maxed out on stress! So, my husand and I sat down the other day and decided on a couple of places to go, later in the year. It's nowhere SUPER fancy, but just a get-a-way for us two. It got me thinking about where I would like to go, that I haven't already been and/or have been and want to go back to. 1) Nashville, TN I have been to Nashville several times in my life and I swear every time I go, it's better than the last time. From the bars, food, music, and everything in between, I love it. Now, I don't think I would like to live there, because ... OMG ... it can be expensive. However, if you know me, I find the deals! (Thank you Groupon!) So, I am hoping to get back there soon and enjoy t...
