I’m in Hawaii and it’s pouring–buckets and buckets of rain, coming down for days. While I’m content to stay inside and read and write I know the tourists are all itching to get sun. When not writing I’ve been reading a fantastic Kresley Cole novel, and keeping an eager eye on the books in my […]

Christmas Cards & Games
It’s that time of year… and something I love getting… and enjoy sending…. Christmas cards! But there’s a little problem–although my cards have gone out to my readers, I’m getting quite a few back! Apparently I don’t have current addresses for some of you. (Or even a mail address at all!) Have you moved in […]
Christmas Disaster Stories
My friend and fellow author, Molly Harper is guest blogging with me today. I had the pleasure of meeting Molly this Fall when I attended the Kentucy Book Fair in Frankfort. We happened to sit next to each other and it was very cool spending the day with her. Molly is a Kentucky girl and we […]
A Good Year
I’ve been making photo albums for my family of the past year and I’m short hundreds of photos from losing my camera twice (twice!?!) in the past year, but of the pictures I do have, I am reminded of what an incredible year it has been. The first six months of 2010 were really difficult […]
Easy About Africa
When I was a little girl I was given a membership to a record collection by Unicef with music from all over the world. I loved the international collection, and loved reading about the Peace Corp and missionaries and everything by Pearl S. Buck. I spent my junior year of high school living in South […]

If you’re one of my Aussie readers, Foxtel’s Universal channel will be playing it at 8:30 pm. Very, very cool!! My […]
He’s Soooo Busy
Thank God Surfer Ty arrives in the morning on a red eye from Honolulu because I need him to wear his son out before his son wears me out. Mac is the busiest boy I’ve ever had and at eighteen months he is clever and curious and persistent and creative, as well as a little […]
Feels Like the Holidays!
It’s snowing here! Both my older sons went to school elated about the snow flurries. The oldest, my high school sophomore, predicted early dismissal since his high school is up a steep hill and school officials don’t want a bunch of teenagers navigating a slippery hill in snow and ice. My 6th grader wore his […]
Reader Dinners
My reader dinners have been the best thing I’ve done in terms of career in years. I LOVE meeting with my readers and having a chance to sit down and just relax and talk over a good meal. Why host my own dinners? For one, I love treating my loyal readers to a girls night […]
My Favorite Writer’s Cottage
The Pacific Northwest Writers Association is a fantastic writers organization headed up the even more wonderful Pam Binder as president. The PNWA puts on one of the best annual writers conferences around and I’m thrilled to be one of their keynote speakers this summer for the August conference. The PNWA is always looking for ways […]
