An excerpt from Sunny with a Chance of Happiness:
An Unexpected Guest, Right on Time

George took a deep, nostalgia-laced breath, reached for his socks, and froze.

A rustling noise erupted from the trees and brush to his right.

Too big to be a squirrel.

Not big enough to be a bear, right? Anyway, black bears weren’t likely to be too aggressive this time of year. No brand-new cubs to keep an eye on like back in the early spring.

Still, George strained to listen and see, ready to head for the front door in a hurry. He’d heard the rumors about mountain lions still hanging on in an area they were supposedly extinct from.

Heard more than a few of those bone-chilling screams in the night, too.

When the brush finally parted, he let out a grunt and relaxed a little.

Not a bear or any sort of cat after all.

A dog burst out into the yard instead.

An excerpt from A Taste Just Like a Hug:
That Taste You Never Quite Forget

Venus wrapped both hands around the mug and took in a deep breath, and her smile wasn't quite as sad as before.

"You'll understand this probably better than anyone else I know," she said, "with the way you specialize in comfort food and how much it matters and all. It's just so sad when someone passes, and they loved making something special that you know you'll never get again."

Kay nodded slowly, remembering all the things she'd been lucky enough to learn from her parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles, and a bunch of people she'd met along the way. Not everyone got that chance to learn, or even if they did, the results never were quite right.

Some mysterious touch of magic—of love made so real you could touch and smell and taste it—passed away from the world.
