A taste of Midnight Magic


Meet Nick Roland. He has always played the white knight. Romance had burned him once before and with his best friend Jessica always trying to set him up with the perfect date it was a wonder he had time for anything else.
He’d heard the rumors about lovely Victoria Benson; however he could only surmise truth from fiction as they shared a landlady who liked to talk. He didn’t need complications of Victoria’s kind. No way was he going to get involved with her and her estranged boyfriend, Max who had been noted to be trouble with a capital T. However, one look in those haunted emerald green eyes had him stepping up to the plate as never before. Only this time he found his heart getting tangled up in the process.

Victoria Benson wasn’t looking for a relationship. She’d just been burned big time and there was no way that she was laying her heart on the line again. When Max up and left her with an empty apartment, a bounced rent check, among other things; she knew it was as good as over. And it was just as well as he’d put his hands on her for the last time. Of course, the order for protection she’d filed against him during their stormy relationship wasn’t worth the paper it had been written upon, and according to Max, was worthless.

Enter Nick Roland. This guy was every woman’s dream. This handsome prince knew how to treat a lady just as well as he knew how to rescue one. She could definitely drown in Nick’s deep blue eyes and she found herself drawn to him as a moth is drawn to the flame. However, it was the fear of the fire, which had her backing off.

Then Victoria’s world is turned upside down and she no longer feels safe in her own home and it’s Nick to the rescue. She trusts Nick with her physical safety but it’s no secret that she doesn’t trust him with the key to her heart. However Nick is willing to lay his heart on the line just as he is willing to risk the scorching flames for a chance to be with Victoria.

So, buckle up for the ride of a lifetime with Nick and Victoria at the wheel. Hold on tight for an explosive conclusion that will leave you positively reeling, once you catch your breath, that is…

Super Hero Powers


My husband and I often talk about Super Hero Powers. To some, you might think we were a little on the nutty side but hey, that's your opinion. As far as we are concerned we're the coolest Mema and PopPop around. We know about Superman, Batman and Ironman. To Vinnie and Nicky we are way cool because of this.

Tom would like the power of being invisible. It's an okay power, great for eavesdropping, but that is about the extent of that. My power would be to fly. I think it would be the coolest thing to get from Point A to Point B with no wait time.
This is what I had to tell myself when I got into this puddle jumper. I was using my super power. I was flying. I thought by the time the flight was over that I would have thrown myself down on the runway and kissed the ground but it had been a great flight. It had been positively euphoric and I can hardly wait to do it again.

A Mother's Love

No one will ever witness a mother’s strong will
While everyone else thinks she may be weak
That’s usually then when her strength abounds
Though her temperance might sometimes appear meek.

When they’re small she monitors their every move
In control of where they go and what they do.
She is their protection in a world so big and wide
The one when they are frightened they have run to.

Then one day she awakens and the earth has shifted
They no longer need her as they had before
So a little bit at a time she has to learn to step back
The little arguments have turned into a hard cold war.

Although she may disagree with her children’s actions
She may speak up when she thinks they’re headed for a fall
They brush aside the wisdom she tries to share
As they have now erected an insurmountable wall.

Sometimes she has to construct her own wall of defense
While she prays to God to bestow His strength from above
Keeping carefully guarded boundaries between mother and wife
While ever prayerful she has to put into effect some tough love.

The pain grips her heart as she feels powerless to help
And while her heart hurts to turn the other cheek
She knows if she doesn’t she will be just another enabler
So she digs her heels in when they accuse her of being weak.

She stands beside her husband to provide a united front
Though he doesn’t seem to feel the same intensity of pain
But a mother’s love runs deeper than any ocean
And she knows that these relationships will come through the rain.

As she stands unwavering while waiting for that break in the clouds
Wondering if there will be just a glimmer of some sunlight
She has faith that the light will eventually come bursting through
While keeping the Lord’s precious promises well within her sight.
