Anyone Feeling Clever?

December 1, 2011 – 9:53 am

Happy December!  I’ve been working with my editor on the backcover copy for my new women’s fiction book out in September from Berkley.  So far the title is my own working title, The Good Woman, and I’m hoping they keep it.  I thought I’d share the back cover blurb with you, but remember that it [...]

Random Happiness

Homestretch

October 10, 2011 – 4:04 pm

Book is due Friday.  A week from tomorrow Ty and I go on our honeymoon.  Kids have wildly different needs but I am all tunnel vision now.  It’s writing from 8 am until 8 pm or later.  No TV, no hanging out, no chatting, chilling or anything but getting words on page and tackling the [...]
