Hawaii Dreaming
Snowflakes drift past my windows and the sky’s a steely gray. Even though the snow isn’t sticking it certainly looks cold enough. I’m about to head to an OB appointment and my youngest is home sick–although at his dad’s–with a 103 degree fever and a cough that makes the walls shake. And right now Hawaii […]
Maui Bliss
Have just arrived in Maui with my two boys for New Years and finally have some internet connection and a working password for my blog again! I somehow got locked out but I’m back again. I did get to Hawaii on the 21st and then my boys arrived on the 26th, and that’s when we […]
Hawaii Book & Music Festival
I’m in Hawaii. Tomorrow I fly back to Seattle after a whirlwind trip here to participate in the 3rd annual Hawaii Book & Music Festival. I arrived Thursday afternoon. Friday at 6:15 am, I reported to KHON-2, which is Hawaii’s #1 morning news station and was interviewed along with Linda, another author, about the weekend […]
On Set
What an amazing week. For one week I felt like a VIP. It was so cool. Being on the set was far more interesting, far more exciting and far more fun than I expected. Okay, I’m not a good extra. I got hot. And bored. And I’d wander away from the extras to behind the […]
Fans of Flirting with Forty
From the beginning Flirting with Forty has had a touch of magic. It was a story close to my heart, and a story not entirely all mine, but personal enough I could write with strong, clear emotion and even stronger conviction. Every book I write means something to me but truly, Flirting with Forty, has […]
Waist Not
I’ll be honest. I think my face looks pretty good for 44. It’s got lines around the eyes, and some saggy stuff near the mouth so I’ve learned to work a smile since it hides the droopies. I’ve known for a couple years that if I bend over and look down on something, the skin around my eyeballs […]
Aloha
Hawaii and I have an interesting relationship. Here in Hawaii I savor sun and warm winds and the clear blue ocean. And here in Hawaii I smack–continually–into my shortcomings and limitations. Hawaii reminds me that I am a control freak. Hawaii’s laid back nature reveals my suffocating Type A personality. Hawaii’s open sharing makes me […]
Flirting Film
The Flirting with Forty movie is officially in production. April 1st with cast and crew in Calgary, the film began shooting. My producer contact, Lucy Mukerjee, has been watching the dailies and she reports it’s all going really well. They’re filming the scenes that took place in what was Seattle but now sounds like Denver. On Tuesday […]
White Water
I’m not a kick ass surfer. In fact, on this trip out to Hawaii I couldn’t seem to stand on a wave. I spent all my time in the water fighting white water. I did everything I knew how–looked for a channel, waited for a calm between sets, sat back on my board, you name […]
