Wednesday, April 08, 2009 The Assassin actually ate the chocolate that used to live inside these wrappers. This was a tough decision guys. You really stepped up last week with the whole, “What If…” thingy. But I had a whole week to think about it so there’s no more beating around the bush. The winner…

What If Sami Worked For Hallmark?
Tuesday, February 10, 2009 I was thinking, if Sami from Stand By Your Hitman got a job writing greeting cards, it might go a little something like this: They say blood is red But in veins it looks blue And the heart isn’t heart-shaped What the fuck is that all about? Happy Valentine’s Day Dumbass!…
Where Am I? How Did I Get Here? Hey, Is That Cake?
Wednesday, February 18, 2009 I love this sign. I took the picture at the Denver Airport. It’s so encouraging, “75 Feet! You Can Make It!!!” And by the way, it has nothing to do with the blog. Working on revisions is always a bit of a shock. This is because my fabulous editor, Lovely Leah,…
Things You Shouldn’t Come Home To…
Wednesday, February 04, 2009 For those of you who don’t know, I have recently taken a day job. It is a long story that I’ll go into another time. Anyway, it’s an awesome job and I’m really enjoying it. And yes, I’m still writing my books, so don’t worry. By the way, did you know…
We Are Family! I Got Ethelred the Unready in Me!
Tuesday, January 27, 2009 Grandpa Unready – Smiley Family Photo Album I have this thing for history. No, let me get it right. I have this THING for history. While some people dream of retirement on a sandy beach somewhere doing crossword puzzles and drinking margheritas, I dream of retiring to a university town, on…
So, Whaddaya Think?
Wednesday, January 21, 2009 Okay, technically speaking, I shouldn’t even be writing this. I should be camped out in a locked room with five thousand donuts, a gallon of Diet Coke, freebasing Midol and finishing what will forever be known as “that damned book.” But I can’t let my Killer Divas down AND I do…
The Furnace That Ate Christmas
Wednesday, December 31, 2008 Before the Ice Age: After Ice Age: You’ll never guess what I got for Cmas! Go on! Guess! No? Seriously? Okay. Well, maybe I should just start at the beginning. I woke up Christmas Eve morning to find that 1) there was a mysterious (and very large) crack in the picture…
Am I The Only One Who Finds This Creepy?
Tuesday, November 25, 2008 I ask because, well, I wonder about myself sometimes. Truth be told, it is just a female kitten with an E collar on so she will quit rubbing the fur off of her chin. But try coming home to find her sitting in the corner a-la The Blair Witch Project. She…

Some Random Christmas Eve Thoughts…
Wednesday, December 24, 2008 Merry Christmas Eve! As I sit here at my laptop, mind racing over everything I still have to get done, I have a few, special thoughts to share with you. I have an uneasy feeling my eldest isn’t buying the Santa thing this year. Something about the way she just handed…
