1. What is your favorite Thanksgiving tradition? Sleeping in and calling family on the other side of the country
2. How do you decorate your table and home? With fake fall leaves because this is SoCal where we have one long season
3. My favorite hostess gift is… To offer help with clean up. It solves the introvert “why are all these people here?” anxiety tendencies and is usually appreciated. Also, a bottle of whiskey goes a long way toward goodwill.
4. It’s time to pack up the leftovers, what do you do with all the food? Share it, use it for other yummy dishes or toss it?
Who said there would be leftovers?!? It’s an all-day graze.
5. Black Friday shopping – on line fun, up early with a cup of java and a long list, or last minute shopper and don’t care about the sales? Everyone else can line up for the deal of the moment. I’ll be kicking back with a big mug of tea and Tiny Editor on the balcony reading a romance a novel. But Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday when the indie booksellers like The Ripped Bodice tend to run discounts or special promo packages? It’s on.
6. I am thankful for… So much this and every year. I appreciate every single reader who has given their time to help my little novel Tides of Time. Readers have tons of choices out there, and it means a lot when they choose to spend it with my characters. Thank you for every page read, every social media boost, every review. You’re making a writer’s dream become a reality.

Aug 21, 2019 | August 2019, Blog, Luna Joya, The Extra Shot
Welcome to The Extra Shot where you’ll find an EXCLUSIVE excerpt from Tides of Time by Luna Joya.
If only the dimmed lighting and dark glasses could excuse her gawking at the man behind the front podium. All muscles and tanned skin, he looked up from his notes, and his gaze locked on her face.
The exhaustion of back-to-back shifts must have caught up to her. Or the cost of her magic decided to crash into her as it did for Delia, who’d black out from using too much.
Cami bit back a groan. She’d drawn so hard on her psychic ability to connect with animals last night and then her elemental magic this morning, she should’ve expected her powers would demand replenishment. Her magic craved fulfillment from a hot guy. This hot guy. She’d probably leaked the desire all over him. She swallowed, shoving down the need as best she could with the powers calling for collection of a debt owed.
With one hand bracing her sister, Cami tugged her sunglasses into her tangle of curls and blew out a breath. Feeding Mina was top priority. No more sexy daydreams about a handsome guy.
The fleeting second she’d given in to the fluttering in her belly had been the best part of her week. Time to return to the reality of her witchy family.
“Why do you know so much about bad boys and scandals?” She wrinkled her nose in an adorable grin. “It’s kind of hot.”
“Yeah?” He checked to see if she was teasing, but watching her lips move, all he could do was imagine what they’d feel like on his.
He hesitated. What was it about her that made him doubt himself? Most women moved along when they saw he was already married to the restaurant. But Cami was different. She had her own ambition.
He brushed his knuckles over her soft cheek before skimming them along her jaw. She shivered, and he grinned. He wondered if she tasted as sweet as she smelled, but he didn’t want to scare her off.
All he’d thought about this week were her golden eyes, her scent, and the pull she had on him. He’d never experienced a connection on this base level to anyone or anything other than the ocean. It was crazy how she made him think of the call of waves and swells.
She stretched her fingers to brush the nape of his neck. Sam stilled with every single nerve focused on that delicate touch. He almost lost control when she grinned a mischievous, sly smile and a dimple flashed. His breath caught as she pressed her lips to his and quickly deepened the kiss.
He’d been wrong about her. She might be reserved and serene on the surface, but her passion was wild and bewitching. She was anything but the calm cool waters he’d expected. She was a riptide. Sam’s last coherent thought was how he’d be happy to drown in her before need took over.
