A new kitchen and a new release @LeoRosanna.

They often say spring is the season of rebirth, of newness and fresh starts.
I've had a lot of newness in my life recently and most of it has been exciting. First and foremost among the chances has been the renovation of my kitchen, which is still ongoing.

When my husband Doug and I moved into our house just shy of ten years ago, we knew a lot of changes had to be made. Little by little, we've replaced bathrooms, a driveway, the front door, and lots of other little details. We'd been saving the kitchen until last, knowing it was a huge expense.

People told us it was a huge inconvenience as well. "You won't survive without your dishwasher," they warned us. "You'll be eating takeout for the next month!"

Honestly, it hasn't been so bad. My kids' teeth haven't rotted out from eating junk yet and we've actually made some proper dinners. Sure, we've had to store all our food in the basement so we've walked up and down the stairs a lot. A LOT.

But it's worth it in the end. Change is good. We keep moving forward.
Just how much have we changed?

Here's the "before" shot:

Here's the "in progress" shot:

As you can see, our contractor gutted the room. New floors tiles are now down and our cabinets are coming this week. I can't wait to see how it looks in the end.

Like any change, it scares me a little. It'll be unfamiliar and we'll be forced out of our comfort zones. However, eventually it'll feel as comfy as my favorite old gloves.

To top off all my recent changes, I have a new release as well! Predator's Salvation, Gemini Island Shifters 8, just released this week and I couldn't be happier with the response.

Now this is the sort of change I love!

Blurb:

The shape shifters from Gemini Island’s Ursa Resort have been through hell. In the battle with their enemy the Alpha Brethren, they suffered losses and are still dealing with the emotional aftermath. No one in this heroic group has emerged unscathed.

When mountain lion shifter Connor Church lost his best friend, he made a vow to protect his widow and small children. Of everyone on Gemini Island, he knows best how badly the young family has suffered.

Unfortunately, Elaine Gleason hasn’t made it easy for Connor. Drowning in grief, she moved her family far away. When a medical emergency forces them to return, she is confronted by unexpected feelings for Connor, a man who has always been one of her closest friends. Her emotions send her into a tailspin when it becomes clear Connor feels the same way. They fight the attraction, tortured by their loyalty to Elaine’s dead mate.

When a remorseless organ trafficker develops an obsession for Elaine, Connor’s
protective instincts emerge and he realizes his feelings run much deeper than friendship. The friends at the Ursa must do battle once more. But even if they win, can Elaine ever move past her grief and start a new life with Connor?
