A Month of Memories…

December 1, 2012

I didn't post all this week...still crazy from the holiday, and so much going on personally and at work.  So I thought I'd pop in on this bright and beautiful Saturday morning, the very first day of December. There were alot of GRATITUDE posts floating around Facebook in November, everyone posting days of what they were thankful for.  November was all about thankfulness, as it should be.  We should stop and take notice of our blessings...we tend to spend way too much time complaining about what we lack.  So November was a great time to take stock and see things right side up. December, to ... Read More

Off The Beaten Path with Cynthia Ellingsen

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 have the fabulous Cynthia Ellingsen here!! *cue applause* Cynthia and I met at this past summer's RWA National Conference, where our mutual editor introduced us at the Berkley cocktail party.  We were fast friends!  What fun we had out on the patio (waiting for the heater) ...

My squee moments…

November 12, 2012

I mentioned that I was signing at the John Cooper School Signature Author Series last Friday... Did I mention that I was going to meet Kathryn Stockett? Well I did!  I mean, not like hey we're bff's and dishing about lotion scents and recipes, but I did get my picture taken with her and Tate Taylor, who did the movie version of THE HELP. Yeah, I was excited.  AND if you didn't see me squeeing all over Facebook, I had a childhood fangirl moment with the oldest Hardy Boy, when he was there with two other authors as the cover artist.  He does photography now.  AND he gushed over my cover.  ...

Hold on, it’s gonna be a crazy week!! :)

October 27, 2012

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!

October 23, 2012

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 ...

If you could only…

October 11, 2012

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

Off the Beaten Path with Pamela Morsi!

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 have the fabulous Pamela Morsi here!! Pam and I were separated at birth—I’ve decided this.  We both love to write about small towns, we have a similar writing style in my opinion (or maybe wishful thinking), and we both have the most unappealing brutal writing process EVER. And I ... Read More

Let the lunacy commence!

October 9, 2012

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

A Day in the Life…

August 20, 2012

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…

August 15, 2012

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. ... Read More

Drawing a Blank…

August 13, 2012

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

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 ...
