WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2007 First of all, I MUST apologize for not blogging last week! My wonderful friends here at Killer Fiction have graciously forgiven me but I want to apologize to everyone else who reads this. No, I don’t have a great excuse like George Clooney begged me to run away to Italy with…

Momma, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Hitmen…
WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 2008 When my son, Jack, was three (five years ago…aka – a lifetime) we had this conversation in the car on the way to preschool: Jack: Mom? Me (driving the car): What? Jack (with a sigh that made him seem much older – as if he’d conquered potty-training years before…which he hadn’t):…
Suddenly Seymour…
WEDNESDAY, JULY 09, 2008 And now, for an update on previous posts, we turn to Leslie Langtry, who, just minutes before was standing next to this plant in her back yard! By the way, my husband accidentally cut the top off the stalk in the photo – yes Virginia, it really is longer now. Well,…

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 2008 So, about a month ago, I had this brilliant idea. (Please roll your eyes here) Since we had Spring Break coming up, I dragged (kicking and screaming) an old event from my past into the light. Did any of you ever have a Kidnap Breakfast when you were younger? If so,…

Leslie Langtry; Army of One
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 2008 Many people might be surprised to know that I have more handguns than my husband. They would be equally shocked (and maybe somewhat concerned about knowing me) if they knew that several of my guns are more expensive than his (by the way, the same is true for my shoes and…
Spartans! Prepare for Pottery!
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2008 So, I’m doing all this research for book 4 – Coney’s book – including Ultimate Fighting, Mixed Martial Arts and Pankration. Don’t get excited – I don’t know where this is going yet with him (although I like the idea of oiling him up for something) – but there is some…
Now Is The Winter Of Our !@#$#*!!! Discontent…
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2008 I’m sooo sick of advisories; snow advisories, wind advisories; flood advisories, low temp advisories, Godzilla attack advisories – and these are just the ones in February and the !@#$%$# month ain’t over yet! Damn Groundhog. My husband, in an attempt to distract me from constantly bitching about the weather, saw fit…

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2008 From our trip to the Sears Tower – this sign is at the top. I’ll be the first person to admit, I’m a black belt word nerd. I love to see how people use them and misuse them. The other day, I was at a bookstore reading cover copy when I…
It’s A Bird! It’s A Plane! It’s Super Tuesday!
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 06, 2008 Me & Bill in San Francisco where my husband was worried he’d have to protect Clinton from me. As I sit here in my Maleficent jammies, sipping green tea and staring at the nine inches of snow I’ll be shovelling soon, I think about how “great” it is to be an…
