• I am 98% done with my second romance novel, tentatively called 2 Cats, a Bodyguard & an Heiress. 

Some stats for the past year:

• Over 10,000 views
• Over 7,000 visitors
• Over 130 comments

Most of my views come from these countries:

• United States
• The Philippines
• Canada
• United Kingdom

Some of my most popular posts:

Welcome to My Blogiversary Party!

It’s time to celebrate!

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I started this blog. Time really does go quickly.

First, I want to thank everyone who has liked, commented and followed my blog. I have enjoyed interacting with you and look forward to many more years!

Now to the party:

Come on over and make yourself at home. The day is warm and breezy here on the beach. The pink chair is mine, though 🙂

Sample all the food, especially the fruit and desert buffets.

For entertainment we will have:

* A Feng Shui consultant to help balance your life energies to bring you luck and prosperity.

* Jackie Chan & Jet Li may stop by to give a martial arts demonstration.

* A surfer hunk will give surfing lessons for anyone brave enough to tackle the waves.

* And something for my male friends, a bikini model will be available for photos.

Fun for all!

But the highlight of the party will be when one lucky person wins a signed copy of my new book – Hong Kong Treasure (released on Chinese New Year, Thursday, February 19, 2015).

To be eligible for this grand prize all you have to do is Like my Facebook Page and Share this post. The contest will end Wednesday, December 31, 2014 and the winner will be randomly picked from eligible contestants and announced on this blog on Tuesday, January 6, 2015.

Hong Kong Treasure is a romance with a little mystery and action thrown in for good measure.
