I woke up at 5:30 am here in Hawaii this morning and thought–Ty’s Surf Shop party is in just two days. I have lots to do! Need to buy beer and wine and order appetizers. Need to find a linen table cloth and fun platters in case the caterers platters are ugly. Need to pull […]

First Gone Country Event Set
I’ve very happy to announce that my first event for She’s Gone Country has been set. We’re kicking off the She’s Gone Country book tour with a reading and signing at Books, Inc in Palo Alto, California, followed by a release party. I’m hoping all my Bay Area readers, friends and family–including all those wonderful former students […]
My Little Valentine
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and then my birthday is on the 17th so I’m hitting one of my favorite weeks of the year. My long time readers know I love February’s pink and red colors, the lush tulips in stores, the fun conversation heart candy, and well, hearts. I love the shape of them. I […]
Olympic Games Vancouver Style
We spent last weekend in Vancouver, BC, just 12 days before the Winter Olympic games are to open there. We’d gone north for Jake’s water polo tournament in Surrey and then stayed in downtown Vancouver to sight-see. I’ve always loved Vancouver and seeing the city transformed for the Olympics made the weekend even more special. […]
LA Happenings
While in Southern California we spent several days in Laguna Beach, then several days with Ty’s parents in Oceanside before heading to LA on Monday. In Los Angeles we stayed at my sister’s in Mar Vista. Her house is so cute, and she’s built a guest apartment over the garage that’s so pretty and comfortable it’s like staying […]
Laguna Beach Book Signing
I’m back from my Southern California sojourn and now facing a move into my house… although we’re going to be relegated to the boys bedrooms for another week or two while the contractor and crew try to finish the downstairs, which is essential considering that’s where the kitchen and dining room and family room is. I still don’t have […]
Join Jane at Christine’s Film Premiere!
If you’ve read Easy On The Eyes, you’ve met Christie, the independent filmmaker who is a good friend of Tiana Tomlinson’s. Well, Christie is actually inspired by a real life friend of mine–Christine Fugate–who also happens to be an independent film maker in Laguna Beach. I met Christine two years ago while on my Odd Mom Out […]
Event Planning
I’ve one week left before Shey’s book, now titled, She’s Gone Country, is due, and a whole lot of writing still ahead of me. I’m putting in 12+ hour days now which are broken up every two hours to nurse Mac and I’m feeling good about what’s written but a little nervous about nailing the […]
Little Bits
I’m writing in little bits, hoping they’ll add up to big bits and trying to stay calm (and cool!) as kids run wild and temperatures hover in the high 80’s to low 90’s–not hot if you’ve air conditioning but sweltering if you’re at a computer without a breeze. Fortunately I’m feeling more and more settled […]
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 […]
