Ann Omasta

Ann Omasta is a USA Today bestselling author.  Ann’s Top Ten list of likes, dislikes, and oddities: I despise whipped cream. There, I admitted it in writing. Let the ridiculing begin. Even though I have lived as far south as Key Largo, Florida, and as far north as Maine, I landed in the middle. If I don't make a conscious effort not to, I will drink nothing but tea morning, noon, and night. Hot tea, sweet tea, green tea––I love it all. There doesn't seem to be much in life that is better than coming home to a couple of big dogs who are overjoyed to see me. My other family members usually show significantly less enthusiasm about my return. Singing in my bestest, loudest voice does not make my family put on their happy faces. This includes the big, loving dogs referenced above. Yes, I am aware that bestest is not a word. Dorothy was right. There's no place like home. All of the numerous bottles in my shower must be lined up with their labels facing out. It makes me feel a little like Julia Roberts' mean husband from the movie Sleeping with the Enemy, but I can't seem to control this particular quirk. I love, love, love finding a great bargain! Did I mention that I hate whipped cream? It makes my stomach churn to look at it, touch it, smell it, or even think about it. Great––now I'm thinking about it. Ick! ** I would LOVE to send you a free copy of my novella, Aloha, Baby!

Holiday in Hawaii

It's only after I clobber the plastic, board-shorts wearing Santa Claus in front of the hotel that I notice Russ, the handsome tourist who has been flirting with me all week, watching. Surfer Dude Santa responds brilliantly to my burst of violence by changing his tune from Mele-Mele-Mele-Mele to Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say on a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day...

Whoa, that was magical. Russ flashes a sweet smile in my direction. You're like the Fonz. At my confused expression, he clarifies, "You know...from Happy Days."

Returning his smile, I furrow my brows into a puzzled expression because I have absolutely no idea who he is talking about.

Russ turns beet red under his freckles. I guess I just gave away my nerdy classic television show obsession. That show was popular way before our time.

I like how he said 'our time.' It makes me feel closer
