I got my book in to Harlequin late Tuesday night and spent yesterday cleaning off my desk heaped high with bills and business correspondence and then I started sending Valentines because I love February and the color red and the shape of hearts–a circle with a point–which keeps circles from being too sweet. I sent […]

Back In The Kitchen Again
I’m back in the kitchen making dinner every night and I�m not complaining. It’s actually fun buying real food and cooking real meals, flipping through cookbooks, attempting new recipes, introducing more vegetables at every meal. It’s been a long time since I did this, a long time since I wanted to do this. For me, […]
Any Other Way
I know my strengths and I know my weaknesses and those close to me would agree I can turn nearly everything into a fight. I’d probably wrestle with the Devil if he appeared on my doorstep. And I view this a strength. The flipside of being so feisty is that I’ve a terrible Achilles’ heel. […]
Gecko Love
Yes, I was the one that bought the Gecko for my son Ty a number of months ago because he 1) begged and pleaded, and 2) he used his own money. Except for the constant shopping for crickets, taking care of a Gecko has been relatively easy. The waxworms do splendidly in the fridge, even […]
Resolutions
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions as they seem to me just one more thing that needs to be done, and I’ve enough that needs to be done without starting another list. Of course there are things I’d like to change–eat more vegetables, preferably the dark leafy kind, give up my aspartame habit, work more […]
Men At Work
My boyfriend Ty was here from Hawaii this past weekend to catch my boys football and soccer games and help me take care of some things around the house. I didn’t exactly give Ty a written To-Do List but there were two days of things to do. Being a single mom things just break, and […]
Mommy Mutterings
Give me my kids. Wow. That didn’t take long. I just blipped the entire blog in the first line. I miss my kids. Haven’t seen them in twelve days as of today. When I booked my ticket to Hawaii I thought I’d return to have them for Sunday and Monday over Labor Day weekend but […]
Making It
I hate goodbyes. Hate leaving those I love. To go to Hawaii, I say goodbye to my kids. To go back to Bellevue, I say goodbye to Surfer Ty. To go on book tours and business trips, I say goodbye to everyone. At writer conferences, I say goodbye to my friends. Enough with the goodbyes. […]
The Logic of Illogic
It took Ester Levine my media escort in Atlanta to make me see the light. I am not going to have any control in this book industry. And not only will I not ever have any control, I can not make any predictions although it’s entirely within my right to set some goals. Personal goals. […]
Giving Credit
I had a wonderful weekend. Really, truly. And part of it is the gorgeous weather we’re enjoying in the Pacific Northwest. Sunny, sunny days. Warm clear nights. Highs in the mid 80s. And this is only the middle of May. But what made the weekend truly wonderful was Ty flying in from Hawaii and doing […]
