It was a great weekend in Portland. A tad hectic, but definitely worthwhile. I was able to meet about thirteen friends and readers for dinner at Bugatti’s in Beaverton before the Saturday night signing at Borders, and then on Sunday really enjoyed my morning at the Celebrate Romance conference. In the photo above I’m with […]

Events in Portland
I’m getting ready to head to Portland, Oregon early this afternoon and it’s going to be a busy weekend as I have a conference to attend in downtown Portland, a booksigning Saturday night in Beaverton at the Borders, and then my oldest son has a two day water polo tournament at the T-Hills pool in Beaverton. […]
Home Sweet Home
I’m tired. Very, very tired and I’ve a brunch to host in less than two hours and then I’ve promised to do ‘something fun’ with the boys this afternoon who haven’t seen me since Wednesday, but between you and me, just dragging myself around the house right now is hard. I managed to catch an […]
Historic Jefferson
Jefferson, Texas has a population of 2,000, a historic downtown, a famous ghost walk, and alligator on some menus. Now I’m not much for alligator (I can’t even stomach chicken or beef right now) and I’m not about to do a ghost walk without Surfer Ty, but I can appreciate the incredible history and architecture […]
Crazy Day
I am supposed to be hard at work on the revisions for my Harlequin book, but am instead struggling to figure out how to be in Jefferson, Texas next weekend for the 2009 Girlfriend Weekend and how to get my kids to the right places this weekend when their sports and activities completely overlap. But […]
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 […]
Snow, Oh No!
It’s Friday noon and I’m still sitting in my house in Bellevue having been unable to get to the airport this morning to catch my Hawaii flight. I couldn’t get a cab company or limo driver to pick me up and Surfer Ty didn’t want me to try driving my Tahoe because there would be […]
Have Returned
Well, I am home. And it was a good week but in some ways a long week. Especially the last few days as I took Amtrak north from Santa Ana, California back to Seattle. We were scheduled to arrive at 8:45 pm last night in Seattle. We didn’t pull into King Street station until closer to 3 […]
Train Travel
I’ve done a lot of traveling in my life. I’ve lived in Germany, South Africa, Japan and Ireland. I’ve studied German, Afrikaans, Zulu and Japanese (not that I can speak anything but a smattering of German these days). I’ve racked up extensive frequent flier miles on numerous airlines, taken road trips that lasted one week […]
Pesky Email
My email is my lifeline. It’s closer to me than my cell phone. I shouldn’t say I practically live on it, but I’m pretty sure I couldn’t live without it. Unfortunately, it’s not working the way it should right now and I’m missing more emails than I’m getting and the problem is, I don’t know […]
