This next week is going to be a whirlwind... :) I remember this from the past Spring, when THE REASON IS YOU was about to launch. The week before is a blur of blog posts and tours and giveaways and never-ending anxiety. LOL. Well, that's about to start again. When JUST ONE DAY released recently, (my e-novella) I didn't have time for anxiety.... It was so fast and spur of the moment, I didn't get a chance to obsess over its entry into the world. Hmmm, that may be the way to go. :) Now... BEFORE AND EVER SINCE is about to step out there. Just 11 days away. *nail chewing and pacing ... Read More
Countdown: Two Weeks!
That's right. Just two weeks from today, on Nov 6th, BEFORE AND EVER SINCE will be officially out in the world. It will be floating around cyberspace in Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, The Book Depository, and any other online book sites, and nestled in all its paper glory on the shelves next to THE REASON IS YOU. And if I'm really lucky, it will be placed on the New Releases table as well. If you've preordered it, it will come singing (I believe it, so it's so) to your house that day, or download right into your Nook or Kindle, waiting for you to open it. :) And there are ... Read More
If you could only…
Short and sweet, but something to get you thinking today.... If you could choose one day in your life to go back and revisit...what would it be? Any day...at any point in your life... And push yourself. We all have the easy picks. Children's births, obviously. Try to think outside the box. And would you change anything, or just want to watch again? Share! ... Read More
Let the lunacy commence!
I've been very lax of late on my blogging, and I apologize. Deep, scraping bow kind of apologize. Everything is about to explode in my world--in a good way--but explosions nonetheless. But first I want to put a shout out for my Off The Beaten Path blog feature tomorrow! This month I have RWA-WF chapter's very own Pam Morsi! SO excited, and you will love her wit and charm. She's giving away a signed copy of her latest book THE LOVESICK CURE to a random commenter, so be sure to come play with us!! JUST ONE DAY, my first time writing a novella, started with Nook First last week, which runs ... Read More
Off The Beaten Path – with Claire Cook!
Here we are again at Off The Beaten Path! A once-a-month opportunity to get to know a very special romance or women's fiction author, in a fun and hopefully interactive way. We all like to get to know our favorite authors a little better, and I want to make that fun for everyone. This month, I'm so excited to introduce the fabulous Claire Cook!! So pretty in pink!!! I fell madly in love with Claire's writing back in the day when Must Love Dogs first came out. I owned a little bookstore back then, and ran a small bookclub out of it. Must Love Dogs was one of our picks, and I was in ... Read More
Where’s The Beef?
Today I want to talk about meat. Yep. My daughter and I were talking about whether we, at this point in our lives, could become vegetarians. See, I've never been one that had to have meat with every meal. Don't gasp and throw your hands up, you carnivores out there. I do love a good steak here and there. I'm from the south so fried chicken is a staple. And a big juicy burger is one of my favorite foods. But before I met my now husband, my daughter and I lived on mostly pasta, veggies, and turkey, with the occasional chicken and ground beef. Very occasional. He and his son ... Read More
Why coffee is my BFF
I wasn't even going to post anything today...it being an official Be Lazy Day and all. It's not that at your house? Sorry about that! But anyway...I was flipping through my email and got the automatic feed from Jenny Hansen's blog about So Much Coffee, So Little Time and I just couldn't stand to not do something. She talks about her love for the brew...even posts pictures of her favorite mugs. I can't lie down on this. I have to join in the crazies. Coffee...I've decided...was Heaven sent. I mean, God put those wonderful little beans on bushes for a reason! Now, I guess you could ... Read More
Back To School…
This is a big year in our house. The last of our little birds has started her senior year. That pic up there is her first day of Kindergarten, and her first day of 12th grade. Click here to read the rest of this post at Women Unplugged... ... Read More
A Day in the Life…
Three times this week, I had the question posed to me asking how I have time to write with a full time job, so I thought I'd shed some light. It's no big deal, not shocking. I'm far from the only one that has to juggle a day job and whatever else our calling might be. But it is a little fun to lay it out, in a way. So here's my very not-exciting day in the life... 5:00am alarm goes off...I either stumble to the coffee pot or hit snooze. 5:09am alarm again if snooze...let's face it, I hit the snooze. NOW the coffeepot 5:15am shower 5:30am coffee...sit with my old lady ... Read More
Stealth mission needed…
I have to 'fess up. I love dogs and like cats, and am basically an animal lover in general. Rarely will I pass up a chance to pet something furry, and baby-anythings just do me in completely. My old lady dog, Ruby...proof of my love... However... I'll refrain from posting a picture of what has become the bain of my existence lately. :-) .... read more of this post at Women Unplugged. ...

Drawing a Blank…
Ever have those moments when you have a blank screen or piece of paper in front of you, and absolutely no freaking idea what to say? Yeah, this is one of those. I struggled for two hours on what to post today. Put it on Twitter--"Please help me come up with a blog post, I'm drawing a blank!" I got a few ideas, but nothing that really worked for what I wanted to post. My son said I could blog about him, but I'll spare you the drama... :) I could post about my daughter, but take his drama and double it, and I wouldn't put that on you either. Well, except that she's joining the ... Read More
Off The Beaten Path – with Karen White!
I'm excited to announce a new feature here at the blog. A once-a-month opportunity to get to know a very special romance or women's fiction author, in a fun and hopefully interactive way. We all like to get to know our favorite authors a little better, and I want to make that fun for everyone. And who better to kick this off with a bang, than the fabulous Karen White!! I had the honor of meeting Karen in person at the RWA National Conference in California a couple of weeks ago, and it was one of the great highlights of the week for me. I found out that we both have teenagers destined to ... Read More
Up and Coming…”Off The Beaten Path”
I'm excited to announce a new feature here at the blog. A once-a-month showcase of a very special romance or women's fiction author, but not in your normal run of the mill Q&A. When I did a blog tour, I got many of the same questions over and over, and quickly tired of talking about myself...lol. I want to make this a fun experience both for the readers and for the author. It's called "Off The Beaten Path", and will be fun posts or a different kind of interview. Something to help us get to know our favorite authors, outside just talking about their books, their writing process, what ... Read More
TGIF! Best posts of the week
It's Friday!!!! And that means it's time to share the best of the blogisphere for this week. I've been recooperating from the chaos of RWA National Conference, and getting used to working the day job again...lol... so I haven't had much time to surf. But here were a few worthy stops to check out. Both will make you think about what's important in life. Taking note of the little things in life, over at It's Only A Novel. A very poignant post! A word about balls and balancing life...by Jenny Hansen. Curious? LOL...go see. Enjoy, my friends!!! ... Read More
Where I’m From…
This was an exercise from last year, and while I'm not a huge proponent of recycling, this one has been on my mind lately. My parents old house across the street from me is for sale, and they've cut down the big swing tree in the backyard. The one with the chains that grew into the tree. It's all in pieces at the street, and I've stared at them for the past two days. This is an amazing thing to do for yourself, and the template is at the bottom for you to give it a shot. Here's a little piece of me. Where I’m From… I am from Coca-Cola and orange soda straight from the bottle, and ... Read More
