Some of you know my short kid is one of those rare and annoying creatures—a hardcore Kyle Busch fan.
This is race weekend and we’re the primary highway exit for NHMS, so there’s a certain part of town I wanted to avoid. Unfortunately, Walmart is in that part of town and I really, really needed batteries. […]

As part of PBW’s Left Behind & Loving It virtual workshop series, I’ll be doing my very first workshop here on my blog at the end of next month.
Oh noes! Coherence…I’ll has to has it!
It doesn’t have a snazzy workshop title yet, but I’ll be talking about punching up word choices in the second […]

Don’t worry about grammar. That’s what editors are for.
1. Would you believe a lawyer who told you to go to your interview at the firm in your underwear because they’ll tell you the dress code after they hire you?
2. If an editor is holding one fresh, engaging story in each hand and one […]

Now that the Celtics ( ) aren’t keeping us up until midnight every other night, we’ve started catching up on television. While I’m seriously missing Criminal Minds and NCIS, I’m enjoying the fluff.
Wipeout: Oh my freakin’ word—all four of us were laughing so hard for an entire hour I was afraid there’d […]

I don’t know why, but I always schedule a bootload of things on the first day of summer vacation. So much for sleeping in. So here’s a few pictures from the last week, and maybe I’ll dream something blog-worthy during the night.

“I know it’s raining. I just don’t care.”

“Why are you so far away, Mommy? […]

Other than needing to cure my lolcat addiction lest people believe me illiterate and rethink buying my books.
Anyway, Monday’s RTB day for me…and I’m stumped. I think so many people are writing intelligent, informative pieces regarding romance on a daily basis that I feel…not intelligent and informative.

Ooh, pity party! BYOC!
So anyway, […]

So yesterday I was listening to a workshop by Sharon Sala while waging yet another futile battle against weeds, albeit wearing a shirt that covered my shoulders this time. While I found some nice earbuds with a foam covering that helps them stay in my obviously defective, earbud-ejecting ears, they still fell out every few […]

If you haven’t read about it already, you can go here to read about the auction for Jo Leigh, who has my deepest sympathies on the loss of her husband.
Here’s what I’m donating:
Set of signed print books, including GOING THE DISTANCE (an anthology with Jaci Burton and Ann Wesley Hardin), FOREVER AGAIN, TALONS (an anthology […]

I managed to get myself a whopper of a sunburn. I don’t normally wear tank tops, except to sleep in, but I decided to wear one to weed and mulch yesterday an area of the yard that I’ve not kept up on for several years. My shoulders…
If you write dark paranormals or just […]

A couple/few weekends ago (I think it might have been Memorial Day), we encountered a traffic disturbance heading north. At first we thought it was an accident, but then we got close enough to read the numerous vehicles—US Border Patrol. Huh. Never seen them before, but whatever. They were only stopping southbound traffic.
At the end […]
