Valentine’s, the day for lovers. Well, now it is anyway – Emperor Claudius II executed two men — both named Valentine — on Feb. 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D.  

Not especially romantic but whatever. Like I said, now it’s for lovers. We won’t have the candy hearts with the messages on them this year (though I hear they’ll be back next year). The company that made them – Necco – filed for bankruptcy. Those hearts have been with us since 1866, so I hope they do come back.

But for me, as some of you already know, Valentine’s Day was Daddy’s birthday. He would have been 96 this year. He always celebrated by giving away gifts on his birthday. He loved those really old fashioned cards and searched for them and chocolate covered Brazil nuts every year for Momma. Sis and I got the smaller red heart boxes of candy. 

This year I’m celebrating with the release of the second book in the Conall Clan series – Family Ties and holding a Rafflecopter giveaway.

Book two continues with the Conall family, this time centering on Brent, Beta to Lou’s Alpha.

Be sure to enter the Rafflecopter and check out this new series. Book three – Life Mates, will release on March 1. But I don’t think that will be the end of the story with this family . . .
