You know I love my Megan. She’s not only a fantastic writer friend, she’s one of my ‘real life’ best friends and I adore her. We met in NYC at the launch party for Grand Central’s 5 Spot line in the Fall of ’05, had dinner with our mutual editor, Karen K, and over time […]

Vintage JaneBlog: Respecting the Turtles
Every now and then I go back into the archives of my JaneBlog, and revisit something I’ve written, and share it with you again. Some I share because I like the blog or the story. Others I share because I’m still working on that life lesson. Respecting the Turtles is one of those blogs […]
Let’s Make It Beautiful & Keep It Real
I announced this week that 2012 was about personal change, and 2013 is going to be about professional change. So in 2013 I’m shaking it up professionally. I’m not going to write what I’ve been writing for all the publishers I’ve been writing for. My choice. I let my agent go and have yet to […]
Truths
It’s November 1st. Can hardly believe it. It’s been such a crazy, busy, turbulent Fall. One of my friends told me over the weekend she missed my blogs, and wished I was writing more in my blogs, and sharing more, and I told her that I couldn’t. That things had actually been very hard for […]
I Heart Caitlin Crews
A lot of you may know Megan Crane is a very close friend of mine but you may not know Megan also writes as Caitlin Crews and I just love her, and her books, and one of the best parts of moving to Orange County is that now I get to see more of her! […]
Settling in…Sort of
I’m in my house…barely! It’s a juggling act still, trying to get settled when we’re having contractors, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, heating specialists, and audio/visual techies in virtually every room. My office, though, is pure chaos and I can’t write until it’s unpacked and organized, and sadly, I can’t even get to my office to unpack […]
A Special Good Woman Contest
We leave Washington tomorrow. We’re on an 8 am flight to Orlando and then Saturday morning we board our Disney cruise with all my family, (Mom, sister, both my brothers and all their kids, too) and then after the cruise ends, we fly straight to Orange County to settle into the new house. It’s been […]
Gardens & Goodbyes
Five days until I move out of our beautiful Yarrow Point house and into a hotel for our last month here in Washington. So bittersweet! It’s going to be very tough for us to say goodbye to this house and to Bellevue. There are so many memories here. Two of my three sons were born […]
Happy 3rd Birthday, Mac!
It was my littlest guy’s 3rd birthday yesterday…can you believe it? So many of you have been reading my blog and chatting with me since before I was even pregnant with him and now he’s a boy…playing Viking and knights and pirates. He loves to dress up and wield a sword…and has quite an impressive […]
I Heart Lilian Darcy
I’ve had a strange couple of months with regards to blogging and social media. I’m finding it hard to do. Don’t have a lot to say. Find my thoughts (and me!) incredibly boring. When I’m actively writing I don’t have a sense of outward things…just my story, and my family. And trying to continually find […]
