Hot Summer Nights Blog Hop

BWS tips button Welcome to the Hot Summer Nights Blog Hop where bloggers reminisce about their favorite summer memories. Comment on my blog and one randomly selected participant will receive a copy of The Lodge, a mystery set in Alaska. What better way to beat the heat?  (Book shipped to U.S. address only, recipient will be notified hopefully by May 31, but no later than June 2, 2013). 

Then hop along to the other bloggers’ giveaways and posts. There will be two grand prizes, a Kindle Fire and a $100 Amazon Gift Card. Go to EACH blog and comment with your email address to be entered to win. Two winners will be chosen at random and notified no later than May 31, 2013. For more information visit http://bookstogonow.blogspot.com. 

It seems all my favorite summer memories involve escaping the heat with nature’s diverse environments – lakes, rivers, mountains. I have many fond memories of kicking back with friends and family amid stunning mountain scenery of tall pines, streams fed with snow-runoff, crystal-clear ice-cold lakes and elk, deer and moose grazing in open meadows. Days were spent exploring the back roads and trails on horseback, on foot or by four-wheeler and fishing, but the nights sitting around the campfire were magic. With the only light coming from the fire, moon and stars the scene is set for romance and snuggling with your sweetie, relaxing and sharing stories with the important people in your life.  
 

Find out which environment is best for escaping the heat and finding love, the jungle in Marked in Mexico, the desert in Desperate Dreams or the high mountains in Big Horn Storm.

    I agree with you: retreat to the mountains in the summer. Return home with mountain-grown peaches, apples, and plums. Yumm! Them's good eattin'.

I would like to introduce Australian western author, Susan Horsnell, and welcome her to Embrace Adventure.   Just living in Australia conjures up all kinds of adventurous images in my mind, and I dream of going there someday. For now, let’s get to know Susan, and we can live our Australian dreams vicariously through her.   First, Susan, tell us a little bit about yourself.   I have been retired for almost 5 years which is wonderful. I now have the time to do the things I have always wanted. As a child I was a dancer, did TV work as well as Pantomimes at clubs during the holidays. We have a young granddaughter who is also fast becoming an accomplished dancer. We have a granddaughter who is a brilliant horsewoman and is very good at Marshall Arts, her sister is also very good at Marshall Arts. We have 2 gorgeous grandsons who are also into sports. We are very blessed.   What are your hobbies away from the computer?   We have 2 Jack Russell’s ...

Marked In Mexico’s Jessica, hasn’t figured out a way to break it off with the arrogant son of a prominent senator, who happens to be her boss at the law firm where she works. Oh, and did I mention her dad is totally pushing for her to marry the cheating scum? So, what’s a girl to do? Take a vacation with her best friend and try to get her priorities in order, which sounds like a great idea until…   An idyllic Caribbean vacation turns deadly when hostages are taken at one of Mexico’s most popular Mayan ruins. The kidnappers believe the abduction will be a simple way to negotiate the release of a colleague from a Texas prison, but matters become complicated and the stakes much higher when they realize one of their hostages is the daughter of a powerful U.S. Senator and another is an ex-Army Ranger, who has no intention of playing by the rules.   I’ll be giving away a $10 Amazon...
