Momnesia Soundtrack!

Hey there music lovers! Exciting news! I've created a soundtrack for my novel, MOMNESIA, and it's up and ready for you to enjoy!

Whether you're a "Momnesia sufferer" or not, chances are you'll enjoy the songs on the soundtrack. Visit this page on my website --Momnesia Soundtrack!-- and you can listen to samples, buy individual songs, or choose to get the whole soundtrack!

Throughout the book, the main character finds inspiration in some of the most unforeseen places, including people, horses (ahem... a city girl catching a loose horse?), books, and especially music! Some of the songs that are so significant to her play a featured role throughout the story, eventually coming to have entirely different meanings by the time you get to The End. Others are mentioned more in passing, but are still great songs.

Hope you enjoy the music!

Can Married Life Be Exciting?

Married life. You live with the same person, day-in and day-out for years on end. You know how that person brushes their teeth, how many times they're going to sneeze, and the punch line to every joke they tell.

Married life with kids? You're worn out from the daily duties, a great percentage of your conversations are about the kids or logistics surrounding the kids (which one are you picking up from what activity, at what time?), and there's barely any energy left for... well, anything.

So, is there a way to have all the benefits of marriage (companionship, friendship, and ten thousand other great things that can be hard to think of at times), yet still have excitement, adventure, and romance?

I think there is, but it takes some work, creativity, and willingness on both people's parts. So, here is the question:

What do you do (or would like to do) to keep your marriage from becoming like a boring television program you've already seen a thousand times?

I'll start: Get ready separately, then go to a trendy bar or restaurant for a drink, like you did when you were dating.
