MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2019 First off, I have a new book out! MAKE BELIEVE MURDER came out October 22! Yay! Halloween has come and sadly gone. And I have to tell you, the scariest thing I experienced this year wasn’t zombies in search of brains, monsters in search of mischief or skeletons in search of…whatever…
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 08, 2011 My camera sucks. Last night this awesome and amazing book club invited me out for pizza and beer, had a cake made with my first cover on it, gave me flowers, and actually read and LIKED my books! And this is the best picture it took. I need a new camera,…
Wednesday, October 08, 2008 I have no reason for posting this photo. It doesn’t relate to the blog. I just think it’s pretty %$#!*$#! adorable. So, Mr. Assassin and I are going to a Halloween party this weekend and the theme is the 80’s. We’ve run through the gamut of costume ideas; DEVO (Mr. Assassin…
Wednesday, September 12, 2007 I’m sorry this is late. I’m packing for a trip to Arizona in the morning and we had Tom’s parents over for dinner and I’ve had a few glasses of wine too many, but what the hell. I’m excited for two reasons – 1) I’m finally going to see the Grand…
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2007 One thing about kids no one told me – they can really make you feel old. Our Girl Scout troop participated in the Halloween Parade Sunday. The theme was 50th Anniversary – a very sad and pathetic theme by the way. So, we did a float featuring uniforms from the last…

I’m hoping to have it available in paperback form in a month. And I’m a nervous wreck. This is my first, non-Bombay book….
Wednesday, May 25, 2011 Me: How was school? Her: Unnnnh. Me: Anything happen today? Her: Unnnnnh. Me: What did you have for lunch? Her: Unnnnh (rolls her eyes – like I know what that means). Mr. Assassin Enters, Stage Left Him: Hey Meg! How was school? Her: Awesome! (Names have been changed to protect the…
Monday September 2, 2019 This is a true story…. My family recently stopped by the Super Target in Vernon Hills, Illinois and had the equivalent of a religious experience. Okay, not that kind of experience – it’s not like I saw Jesus in a Mossimo tote or ran across St. Francis, deep in thought in…
