Happy Valentine's Day

I hope you all are having a special Valentine's Day. I am celebrating with my guests and I am very happy they are here. We also had some beautiful snow today, large lacy flakes, like a special valentine. It won't stay, tomorrow will be sunny and in the 40's, but it was beautiful while it lasted.

The Hot Springs tourist season seems to have gotten off to a good start. There are a lot of visitors in town this weekend. Saturday was a busy day at Oaklawn. The big buzz at the track is about the Apple Blossom on April 9th and the Arkansas Derby on April 10th. I still have one suite available for that weekend. There are a lot of people still looking for accommodations, so don't wait if you want to be here for the big races.

I am reading the eighth book in the Riley Jensen Guardian Series, Bound to Shadows, by Keri Arthur. These are gritty urban paranormal stories with a great cast of characters, lots of magic, werewolves, vampires, fantasy and some sex. This series is the first I have read by her and I really enjoy them. The author is from Melbourne, Australia and the books are set there, which is fun. I am looking forward to the new release in May. And, the books she published with ImaJinn books are going to be released by Bantam, which will make them more accessible to her fans. This is a great author to look for if you like these kind of books.
