Welcome to 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition!!!!! *I might be a little excited and hyper. ROFLAMO*
This is a Page Brief that’s new and never posted anywhere else. Yep new and never posted anywhere else. It’s being posted for the first time as part of the 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition!
Join me daily here on the blog for next Page Brief. There’s also something special for the last day of August 2026 as a wrap up for the 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition. 🙂
*holding up a glass of champagne* Wheeee…onto today’s 2026 Book Birthday On My Birthday Tradition Page Brief!!!
Today’s Page Brief features characters from Wicked Impulse, Rowan, Book #19. Enjoy!
From time to time there’s multi-part Page Brief’s that go together. I think of it as a Page Brief Serial and I name them. The below Page Brief Serial Chosen by You features the books at the time I wrote these Page Brief’s that were available in my Rowan series. Eventually when books are released in the Rowan series an Page Brief might be written and if it is it will be added to the Chosen by You Page Brief Serial. So this Page Brief Serial is a continuous one (at my discretion/time permits).
Chosen by You is a multi-part Page Brief Serial and best read in order for the most enjoyment. They are usually in order of the Rowan series for which they are written about (unless otherwise noted).
This might be a rough draft so excuse any typos and so on.

Alessandro enjoyed the feeling of the wind against his skin. He inhaled deeply loving the scent of the air around him. Rowan no matter what time of year was always beautiful. Just like the woman who came off an adjacent trail. He stopped and ran in place.
“Come to join me.” He teased.
“I don’t jog as you know.” Melody wrinkled her nose. “When I woke and found that you were gone I decided to come find you. How can you even jog in this weather? It’s too hot to jog.”
“I knew you were up late last night so I decided not to wake you.” He jogged over to her and kissed her on the cheek. “No matter what time of year it is you say it’s whatever weathers it is to even jog.” He pointed out.
“True.” Melody laughed. “I prefer to photojog.” She held up her camera.
Alessandro knew that was what her family called it and had fondly adopted the phrase for her and his brother. Melody didn’t jog but she photojogged with him. Meaning she walked and took pictures as he jogged. He would usually do a loop and come back to meet up with her. Her sister Blake was usually his partner. While Luciano, his brother, who was dating Blake kept Melody company as they photojogged together. Which in no included jogging and was all about taking pictures.
“Where’s Blake and Luciano?” Melody took his picture.
He was used to her taking pictures of him. She claimed she needed a whole lot of pictures of him for her collection.
“There they are.” He said as he spotted them coming off another trail.
Blake was jogging while Luciano sauntered behind her snapping pictures. When Blake spotted him she came toward him. She joined him jogging in place.
“Let’s get our jog on and let’s leave these two to their photojog.” Blake rolled her eyes. “Maybe one day we can convince them to jog with us.”
“Never.” Melody and Luciano said simultaneously.
“Maybe you can get a bike so you can bike while we jog.” Alessandro suggested. “I sent you both some links this morning.”
“I saw that this morning and wondered what it was about.” Luciano frowned.
“It has something to do with someone he was speaking to yesterday.” Melody gestured with her hand. “Seems like in some other city he has some people we know who jog or run. They have a group of non-runners or non-joggers who bike with them.”
“Ok. I still don’t see the appeal.” Luciano took a picture of Blake.
“The appeal is the non-runners or non-joggers who bike heckle the runners or joggers.” Melody snickered. “Supposedly it’s to be motivational. I think is just hilarious.”
“Oh. Now I see the appeal.” Luciano looked contemplative. “I better check those bikes out.”
“We can go later. There’s a bike shop in downtown Rowan.” Melody bounced on her heels. “This is going to be fun.”
“Alessandro.” Blake hissed. “Why would you share that? It was between the runners and joggers. It was a joke.”
“I would share it with my operation forever.” Alessandro winked at Melody.
She blew him a kiss.
“Boy she has you wrapped around her finger.” Blake snickered.
“Among other things.” Alessandro imagined when he got her alone later.
Melody got very amorous after watching him exercise.
“Ewww… That’s my sister. I don’t need to know all of that.” Blake glared at him and jogged off.
“Like I don’t hear enough about you and my brother Luciano.” Alessandro followed her.
“Your brother is a sharer.” Blake laughed. “And he shares with me all the time.”
“If I can’t share with you about your sister. No talking about my brother in that.” Alessandro shuddered. “Whatever tone you’re using.”
He caught up with Blake.
“Can you believe the two of them are our operation forever?” Luciano mused.
“And we’re lucky to have them.” Melody laughed. “Especially with all the entertainment we’re about to have once we get the bikes. Let’s plan.”
Alessandro knew the idea would intrigue Melody.
“A sneaky way to get her to join us and not realize she’s exercising.” Blake said quietly as he caught up with her.
“Not exercise per say. But some activity we can all enjoy together.” Alessandro shrugged. “I love spending time with your sister.”
“Like I do with your brother.” Blake sighed. “Even though we couldn’t enjoy this. One of my favorite things together. I was fine with it.” She paused. “But I’m glad you figured out a way for them to take part.”
“Now if they let others take pictures.” Alessandro glanced at her and Blake had the same look of disbelief on her face he knew was on his. ”Yeah. Don’t think that will be happening. Unless we buy our own equipment.”
“They do tend to be a little possessive with their camera equipment.” Blake snorted.
“Maybe while they are plotting about bikes we can plot about getting some camera equipment.”
“Already bookmarked some stuff.” Blake nodded. “I casually asked Luciano and he had no clue why. We can surprise them one day and do a photojog instead of a jog jog.”
They continued to jog while they figured things out.
