Thank you! We'd already brought in a lot, as needed, but didn't want to risk the rest with two nights of frost.

For #FirstAndLastFriday, I'm sharing the first & last lines from chapter 1 of Arranged in the Stars, a Mistaken Identity MF Sci-Fi Romance, which I re-released earlier this week! It starts in Prince Deion's POV then switches to Princess Ro'sa's.
books2read.com/arrangedinth...
#SciFiRomance #BookSky

First and Last Friday from Arranged in the Stars by Jessica E. Subject.
First lines: “Trade places with me.” Sweat poured down Prince Deion’s face. He’d never been more nervous in his life.
Last line: She had a full day ahead of her and a handsome prince waiting to seduce her, whether in her dreams or after the ceremony.
The cover for Arranged in the Stars by Jessica E. Subject shows a dark-skinned man looking down, lovingly, at a green-skinned woman. He is bare-chested with a stone chain around his neck and a metal hoop around his ear. The woman has auburn hair and is looking to the side with her arms around the man. At the bottom of the cover is the planet Earth surrounded by stars.

Risk of frost tonight, so we had to do a quick harvest of tomatoes and peppers. Hopefully it won't be the last one of the year.

A container of sweet green peppers with some of them turning red.

Baskets of green and red tomatoes with a smaller basket of ripe grape tomatoes.

What’s with the color of the MCs' suits?
The suits have to do with aerobatics. I use my favs, the CF Snowbirds and the RAF Red Arrows, for inspiration. When the pilots fly in display shows, they wear red suits. The ground crew wear blue suits.
books2read.com/3secretstolove
#SciFiRomance #BookSky

What's with the color of the main characters' suits?
Red flying suit is for pilots during public displays.
Blue suit is for ground crew.
This avoids confusion during aerobatics shows and clearly distinguishes the pilots from the crew.
The cover for 3 Secrets to Love by Jessica E. Subject shows a large, hairy, man in a red flight suit with his arms crossed. Beside him is a dark-haired woman with her hair up and wearing a blue suit and a white camisole underneath. She also has her arms crossed. They are standing in a futuristic looking room with a blue tinge and many windows.

One more day of wearing a Holter monitor. One more day of the itchy, stickiness and all the wires. One more day of resisting the urge to tear it off and throw it away. One more day until the rash across my chest can begin to heal. (This is day 14.)
