By: Macy Beckett And if you think I'm referring to Christmas, you're wrong! Despite "much mistletoe-ing" and "hearts glowing"  in December, Thanksgiving is the holiday to rule all holidays, and I'm going to prove it to you! So sit back, grab a slice of pumpkin pie, and prepare to be enlightened, friends, for I give you: The Top Five Reasons Why Thanksgiving is the Best Holiday Ever 1. No presents . I love giving to others, but the pressure of finding The Perfect Gift for dozens of friends, colleagues, business associates, and family members makes me want to hide beneath my desk and assume the fetal position. Can't we just stand in a big circle and pass a $20 bill to the person on our left? Guess not. But that's what makes Thanksgiving so awesome: We get to relax with our families and enjoy a good meal without the stress (and expense) of gift giving. 2. Football . I don't like tossing the pigskin, nor do I enjoy watching it, but I wil...

Pour the champagne and cue the dancing girls! Wait, strike that. Cue the dancing GUYS! Because my debut novel has FINALLY released! Woohooooo! Welcome to Sultry Springs, Texas: where first loves find second chances... Nine years after June Augustine hightailed it out of Sultry Springs with her heart in pieces, one thing stands between her and her dream of opening an upscale martini bar: a bogus warrant from her tiny Texas hometown. Now she's stuck in the sticks for a month of community service under the supervision of the devilishly sexy Luke Gallagher, her first love and ex-best friend. If Texas in July wasn't already hot enough, working side-by-side with June would make any man melt. Luke wants nothing more than to strip her down and throw her in the lake--the same lake where they were found buck naked and guilty as sin all those years ago. In their heads, they're older and wiser. But their hearts tell a different story... And what do reviewers have to say?...

I'm Macy Beckett, and I have a confession. See the pretty cover up there? The one with moonlight dancing over a placid Texas lake? Well, I've been having a secret, obsessive relationship with that book. (Shh! don't tell my husband!) It all started a couple of months ago when the FedEx man delivered a batch of ARCs (advance reader copies) to my doorstep. Sultry with a Twist is my debut novel, so this was the first time I'd seen my work in print form. It was magical. It was stunning. It was A REAL BOOK! It also occurred to me that if I was holding my secret lover, other people were, too. (She gets around, but that's okay. We have an open relationship.) Not only had print ARCs gone out to bloggers and reviewers, but the digital copy was available on netgalley . That meant strangers were reading my book! Commence screaming! That's when the nasty beast Anxiety  wrapped its tentacles around my body, bent me over the sofa, and had its way with me. Holy ...

Happy Friday, everyone! Macy Beckett here, and if you haven't noticed, our topic this month on the Casa Blog is HEAT. Oh, the possibilities! I could blog about this: Who doesn't love MAGIC MIKE? (Source: Ew.com) Or this: Macy's toes on vacation! But I'd rather CRANK UP THE HEAT with a giveaway! I have an ARC of Sultry with a Twist  in my hot little hands, and I'm giving it to one lucky commenter . Win me, baby!  Welcome to Sultry Springs, where first loves find second chances... When June Augustine hightailed it out of Sultry Springs, Texas, with her heart in pieces, she swore she'd never return. But nine years later, one thing stands between June and her dream of opening an upscale martini bar: a month of community service under the supervision of the devilishly sexy Luke Gallagher, her first love and ex-best friend. As lust turns to love, June must decide where she belongs: in the glorious anonymity of Austin or back in Sultry Spring...

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I’m Macy Beckett , the new kid on the blog, and I’m thrilled to join my Casa Sisters in discussing our favorite summer pastimes. As you probably guessed from the title, we’re going to talk about this: (Image source: Jenny's Southern Comfort) Oh, yeah, baby! Bring on the fruity firewater! Alcohol has many names—booze, hooch, alky, sauce, spirits, social lube—but no matter what you call it, a cool libation is one of my favorite summertime pleasures. Why have literal sex on the beach, (sand…ouch!), when you can experience it in liquid form? How about one of these Parrot Bay frozen daiquiri pouches? Just throw ‘em in the freezer for a couple hours and viola—a tropical vacay in your mouth! One of my friends calls these "Capri Sun for parents." (Image source: Monarch  Beverages) Another personal favorite is the TGI Friday's Orange Dream mix. Just pour it in the blender, add ice, and in minutes, you're sipping a grownup ver...
