Odd Mom Out won’t even hit the store shelves until September 27th but everyone seems to have a copy already! How is it possible for those advanced reading copies (arcs) to have traveled as far, and as fast as they have? Well, I’ll tell you. eBay. Yep, thanks to eBay and half.com and all those […]

BEA
Readers have emailed me to ask about BEA in New York last week, wondering why I haven’t posted a blog about that when I’ve added some photos from the trip. The truth is, I haven’t blogged about BEA because it was so dang cool I can’t really believe all that good will was focused on […]
Cab Man
Waiting for the cab that should arrive in the next 12 minutes to whisk me to SeaTac where I’ll jump on an American Airlines flight for NY. I’m going to BEA this year and I’m finally starting to feel a bit of excitement. I’ve wanted to attend BEA for the past several years–its such a […]
A Lot of Words
I’ve got four books on my desk in various stages of production and it’s about three too many. I can write one book while brainstorming another, but I struggle to write if I’m doing revisions on another, copy edits on a third and final page proofs for the fourth. But that’s exactly what’s happening and […]
Cry Me A River
I don’t advocate bawling all the time. It’s hard on the skin and unappealing at an eye ball level. But it did result in me getting some beautiful flowers from my bud Elizabeth Boyle (www.elizabethboyle.com) who should have actually gotten flowers from me for finaling in the Ritas again. Last time I roomed with her […]
No Foolin
I’m in my own special writing place, a place that is hellish and yet oddly comfortable as I seem to spend lots of time here, wondering what I’m writing, wondering where this is going, wondering how I can possibly pull yet another rabbit out of the hat. An even harder feat when you’ve got no […]
Tuesday Update
Love that wonderful diary entry title. Fascinating subject header, isn’t it? Okay, creativity isn’t my high point right now. In fact, creativity seems to be a low point, along with my low energy. I thank my latest cold bug for that, as well as the very disorienting doses of Sudafed. What is in Sudafed, Actifed, […]
Belated Birthday Wishes
It was my birthday, two weeks ago, just a few days after Valentine’s Day and I was sick. In fact, I was sick before my birthday arrived, the night before I was to fly with my boys to Hawaii and I spent the first 9 days in Hawaii feeling like ground round. I’m home now, […]
Easy Breezy
I’m taking another quick break from wrapping up Odd Mom Out. I’ve been writing nine to eleven hours a day and the computer screen’s getting blurry and my fingers are numb from typing so hard and fast. On Friday I did a call in to a book club which won copies of Flirting with Forty […]
Periodical Assessment
This is going to be a super short blog and I’m writing it because I’m chained to my desk until I finish Odd Mom Out but I can’t stand thinking about my book for another second so here I am, pretending to not write when I’m still writing. If I could, I’d lie down on […]
