//Jackson has been enjoying the summer, by which I mean, he totally wears himself out playing and then crashes into deathlike sleep for hours on end. He never moved when I took this pic. I was playing around on Twitter this morning as I contemplated what to blog about today. My list of potential topics […]
//I’ve been thinking about our customs around saying “thank-you” to people. Since our topic at the SFF Seven this week is whatever is on our minds, I’m going for this! Way back in January 2013 I did a post on why I hate thank-you notes, and I tell you – I *still* get people finding my […]
//SO excited to read Anne Calhoun’s latest – THE LIST – out today! Anne is easily one of my favorite living writers of erotic romance. Yes, she’s also my friend, but I feel I can say this in all honesty because I first read her books, THEN stalked her and made her be my friend. […]
//Me at the Lori Foster Reader and Author Get Together with Stephanie Collins of Book-A-Holic Anon. She won my Ruby basket in the raffle, so this is the triumphant celebration. So, I’m going to go a bit eBook ranty today. Those of you sick of hearing about this from me may be excused. It’s Friday, […]
//I had a little Twitter/FaceBook fit the other day. Really the ensuing conversation was on FaceBook because nobody answered me on Twitter. This is not unusual. It could be because I’m either not interesting or not important. Both things are equally true. I’m at peace with that. Also, with Twitter, you have catch people’s eye […]

//This time last year, I ordered flowers for David’s Cousin Terry. I remember it because I called the florist in Seattle and asked if she could do lilacs. The shop was next to the big medical center performing Terry’s latest MOAS. (Mother of All Surgeries, as Terry’s sister dubbed them — a good name since […]
//Email is a funny thing. And can be an annoying thing, which is where all the rule-making comes from, I think. I belong to several online loops for writers. I’m even president of one–a deeply ironic development since I hadn’t belonged to the group all that long before I was elected. Every day I discover […]
//Yesterday I received an email from one of the writing groups I’ve joined. I don’t think I’ve met the woman who wrote it, but she sent it to everyone who’s on the email listfor the group: Last Thursday I had a doctors appointment at [ ]. I expected to discuss new treatments. Instead she told […]
//So far there are two entries in the Rogue’s Pawn Giveaway, and this is my favorite. Of course, the other is only slightly less brilliant: You’ll note that both of these are from Carien at Pearls Cast Before a McPig, so she stands to win Monday’s Cover Reveal drawing unless the rest of you plan […]
