October 2008 So what did I end up going as? Well, I was pretty sure I couldn’t pull off Jennifer Beals. But just before the party I had a flash of inspiration. I went as a 42-year old, disgruntled Strawberry Shortcake. Here I am in costume with my friend Michele, who went as a Ghostbuster….
Tuesday, September 23, 2008 Colleen Coble, Jade Lee’s arm, Monica McInerney, Jordan Dane, Susan Mallery, Me, Elizabeth Hoyt and Kathryn Caskie I shouldn’t have to explain this one. I mean really, there’s a nametag and everything. Two cute guys who, surprisingly, were very excited to see me Last weekend was one of the best weekends…
Wednesday, September 10, 2008 My husband drove through Hurricane Gustav and all I got was this lousy photo. Okay, it’s really a cool photo. But you understand, in keeping with the t-shirt quote, I had to keep similar phrasing. Yes, that’s my book. My husband read it sitting in a Suburban SUV outside the hotel…
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 03, 2008 I guess it’s fitting that in the Fall, plants die. And while I expected the demise of Al, the Space Plant (may he rest in peace), I certainly didn’t expect my cactus, Bob, the Succulent (isn’t that fun to say?) to die as well. This is par for the course. People…
Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Woo Hoo! It’s STAND BY YOUR HITMAN launch week! And I’m coming from you live, from my daughter’s laptop because mine has some serious mental issues. Of course, I can’t talk, since I’m basically mainlining Midol right now. So, no fun photos, etc. I’ll just have to discuss the impending death…
Tuesday, August 19, 2008 That’s right! The kids go back to school today! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO! You know that commercial from Office Max or someplace like that where the dad is dancing around buying school supplies to the song listed in my title and the kids are trudging as though they are headed to their deaths?…
Wednesday, August 13, 2008 Okay. The call. A fascinating story – at least to me. As some of you may know, I met my editor at a conference and she’d asked me to send the first three chapters of ‘SCUSE ME WHILE I KILL THIS GUY, which was originally titled DEATH IN THE FAMILY (lame…
Tuesday, August 05, 2008 SFRWA is over and I had a great time that could only have been better if Jana and Kathleen were there! The workshop Gemma, Christie and I did with Leah and Eve went very well considering it was 8:30 a.m., we stayed up late the night before and Gemma had a…
Wednesday, July 30, 2008 Cheers from San Francisco! I’m here with Gemma, Christie and Jana for the annual Romance Writers of America’s Lounge Lizards ’08 Tour. Before I go any further, I just got a message from my editor, Lovely Leah, where she shares with me – and I share with you (because I’m ALLLLLLL…
Wednesday, July 23, 2008 I’m not sure if many of you heard but we had a weird, freak storm Monday morning. It sounded like the house was going through a car wash (something I’d personally like to see sometime). All power was off. This was followed by a very loud CRACK, which was obediently followed…
