Thanks for
having me today, Vonnie. It’s always a pleasure to visit you!
In the
summer of 2010, I went a little crazy and wrote three books for a brand new
series from The Wild Rose Press called the Class of '85. Why, you might ask?
Because the series title hooked me. Having graduated from college in 1984, I
have some wonderful memories from the early 80’s. Great times spent with good friends.
June 18th through the 22nd, five books from this terrific,
multi-author series are free, including the first one I wrote, Lonely Road To You. To
celebrate, I'm taking a trip back to the past and reliving those years. Today,
let's talk TV!
I’ll admit, I didn’t watch a lot of TV back then. But there were
times when we ditched studying for some mindless relaxation. And I do mean
mindless. This was the era of the nighttime soaps. Dallas and Dynasty topped
the ratings charts. I wasn’t a fan, but there were some entertaining and
innovative sitcoms I enjoyed. The Cosby
Show was a hit. And what about a show that took place in a bar? Cheers took the sitcom away from family
values and gave us something completely different. Then there was Magnum PI—Tom Selleck in a Ferrari—what
more is there to say. LOL
My
heroine in Lonely Road To You is a children’s book author and illustrator.
She heads off on a cross-country road trip to her 25 year high school reunion.
Instead, she finds adventure—and love—with an old classmate along the way.
For more 80's nostalgia,
follow me as I continue on my mini blog tour where I'll be talking about 80's
fashion (shudder), the movies that held us enthralled, and how life back then
was different for kids than it is today. Find me at these places:
So, what were some of your
favorite TV shows from the early 80's? Let's immerse ourselves in
nostalgia!
