Buenos Thursday! I have returned at last! For those who don’t know me, I’m Ezmerelda, a Guatemalan worry doll currently enslaved as Shannon’s muse.
Right now she is staggering around the neighborhood in her pajamas, walking her dog, and their matching crazy bedhead hairstyles are probably the talk of the entire town. Mini, who [...]

Dear Ezmerelda,
I know a muse is supposed to be a fickle and capricious being, but now’s not really a good time for you to uphold those old stereotypes. Right now I need you to roll up those sleeves and focus, even though…
1. The upstairs bathroom is totally deconstructed and so much sawdust has been [...]

Buenos Friday! I can’t believe another week has passed already. My sense of time has no doubt been skewed by Shannon’s working me into a state of utter exhaustion. Don’t tell her I told you, but she’s panicking because the short kid begins full-time days at school next week and she knows she was [...]

Buenos Friday! It is me, Ezmerelda, intrepid indentured muse. I have missed you and managed to escape the metal hell in which I have been trapped.
(Shan: Oh, shut up. I keep you in a very lovely Vanilla Mint tin to keep you safe from the cats.)
So what has my lazy, unfocused [...]

Buenos Friday! Did you miss me? Shannon has been keeping me very busy working on our secret project and Becoming Miss Becky and the third Devlin Group book. But as you can see, there is always time for frolicking at sunset with a cowboy.
Wait. Do you hear that? How am I supposed [...]

Okay, where were we? Oh yeah, sore throat cures and decomposition. In case you have no idea what I’m talking about or you missed something, here are the links for Ezmerelda’s “story”:

I’ll reiterate my warning: It is recommended that a mild state of intoxication be achieved before commencement [...]

If you haven’t read Part 1 of Ezmerelda’s story, you should consider yourself lucky you can find it here. While I did manage to re-hide “The Romance Writers’ Phrase Book” on her, it wouldn’t hurt to knock back something preventatively medicinal before continuing on…

(Note from Shannon: You might want to consume a large alcohol before reading this post. Really.)

(Shan: I’m not kidding about the alcohol. At least have a dose of Nyquil before clicking that “more” link.)

Buenos Friday, again! As you can see, I have been very busy this week! And—
Shan: Wait a minute. Ezmerelda, what the hell are you doing?
Ez: I’m making the announcement about my book.
Shan: You’re supposed to recap my week and announce my books.
Ez: I’m tired of it always being [...]

Buenos Friday! Did you miss me last week? I was working ever so hard, as you can see from the photo.
Shannon worked very hard last night. (If my eyes were not embroidered, I would be rolling them.) So did Mel and Emma, and you can see the fruits of their labor (no spewable [...]
