One Good Catch

It's Friday the 13th. Again. Most of my plans for the upcoming weekend involve getting posts ready for the A to Z Challenge both on my blog and on the other two blogs where I'm a co-host, IWSG and the A to Z Challenge Blog home. I'm pleased to help Heather M. Gardner with the release of her novel. I'm sure the 13th will bring her good luck, not bad.

A little wisdom to take us into the weekend.
"A dog owns nothing yet is seldom dissatisfied." Irish Proverb

One Good Catch, A Maguire’s Corner novel


Ignoring a recent trauma that is affecting her everyday life, ER Doctor Kate Maguire engages in some high risk activities, but putting herself in these dangerous situations isn’t enough to feed her edginess. She needs something more. When her brother’s high school best friend comes back to town, it’s her chance for a ‘no strings attached’ fling with the man who still headlines in all her best dreams.

Rhys MacGrath’s days of one-night-stands are long over. The pro-football player might be side-lined at rehab for a shoulder injury, but that doesn’t mean he can’t admire and desire the all-grown-up, so-damn-hot, version of the tomboy he once knew. His sudden interest in Kate might be aggravating his best friend, who doesn’t approve, but it’s her indifference that’s driving Rhys crazy.

Everything heats up when Kate’s nosy nature sets her in the line of fire of an arsonist forcing them to deal with more than just the sparks igniting between them.

Heather M. Gardner's love of books began on the hand-woven rugs of her small town library where her mother worked. There she had a never-ending supply of stories to read at her fingertips. As a teen, her favorite genres to curl up with were romance and mysteries. When she started to create her own stories, they were the perfect fit.
Heather resides in New York with her best friend who is also her husband, plus her talented and handsome son. She is currently owned by four stray cats. Heather's a full-time mom, works part-time from home, a chocolate enthusiast, coffee junkie, cat addict, book hoarder and fluent in sarcasm

Hope your weekend plans are a little more exciting than mine though I'll be really happy when all the posts are scheduled and ready. Do you know any dissatisfied dogs? And a little Pratchett to honor the loss of another icon of fantasy and science fiction. Starting to make me feel old. Do you agree with Terry's description of English?

Hi Susan .. good luck with your weekend plans .. it's Mother's Day here, so life takes on a different light (even though I am not a mother .. I can relate!!) ...

Interesting that quote .. I keep coming across different forms of English in other countries ... it is an interesting language.

Good luck to Heather - the story line sounds tantalising .. cheers Hilary

Terry's observation is funny.

Congrats to Heather.

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

Big congratulations to Heather!

The Armchair Squid said...

I do think that's a fair assessment of the English language. We're hoarders, too - most words of any language in the world, by a healthy margin.

Congrats to Heather!

Sounds like an interesting book; I say that a lot when reading synopses of books; but lots of great plots out there written by great authors! Wishing Heather much success with the book!

Sounds like a good weekend you have planned; it will be good to have the A/Z done; I have 14 of them done; have all the letters, just need to write the rest of them. Planning to definitely by the end of the month :)

Enjoy the weekend!

It is interesting how different English can be in different English language countries. Like your 'sitcks' that we call crutches.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

Terry had a great sense of humor.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

And it keeps growing in number.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

I don't think I'll get done this weekend but just getting a few more done will take some of the stress off.

Pat Hatt said...

Congrats, Heather.

Hope you get all the posts set up for the a to z.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

I know you probably had your posts done months ago, Pat.

Tyrean Martinson said...

Congrats to Heather!
And best wishes on your A to Z posts!

Christine Rains said...

Yay for Heather! I'm so excited to read her new book. :) And so sad about Pratchett. I have most of the Discworld books. He'll be missed. Good luck with your posts!

Chrys Fey said...

I'm glad Heather is being featured on so many great blogs. :)

Heather M. Gardner said...

I'm a very lucky blogger today!

Thank you so much for posting about OGC!

Best of luck with your A to Z posts! I better come up with a theme soon!

As much as I love and miss Terry Pratchett, I really don't think you can apply that definition only to English. I mean, they're all like that. Unless they're France, where there are laws against using non-French words.

Jennifer Ruth Jackson said...

Another great cover! Is it me, or are novels getting amazing covers the last year or so? Then again, I'm a sucker for the color.

I cried over Sir Pratchett, though I never met him. I think some of my family members were confused by it... my emotion.

The Happy Whisk said...

Not much to say so I'll do what Alex calls the lame comment and just say howdy, have a good weekend. Catch ya on the flip side.

Tara Tyler said...

yay for heather! and looking back, saw some great advice for a to z spring cleaning of the blog and i like finding bloggers from good comments too!

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

I need to get so much done this weekend.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

Won't be long until your son is reading Discworld.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

She deserves the support. She's so kind to everyone.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

You're so busy right now. Hope the theme comes to you soon.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

Is that for real? How dare the French not let us invade their speech?

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

You might have cried because you were so ill too. It is a lovely color.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

I appreciate every time you and Alex visit. It's like friends giving me a genuine wave.

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

Thanks for reading the back list. Never can get enough advice for A to Z.

The Happy Whisk said...

Alex is a good egg.

But yeah, I get the wave thing, I feel that way too.

Happy Weekend.
