It’s been a very cool, very busy, very exciting conference. With so many friends here and so much to do, it’s been a bit of a rush from this to rush to that, and yet in between the meetings, appointments and workshops I’ve have time to see my Harlequin author friends and my 5 Spot […]

Wrapping Up
I’m sitting at Newark waiting to board my flight back to Seattle after a weekend in New Jersey for my final Mrs. Perfect book events. I feel like it’s the last day of school before summer after a hectic round of exams. No more traveling to promote Mrs Perfect, no more book clubs, no more […]
Hump Day
It’s Wednesday, which is the work week hump day but I’m feeling heat that it’s Wednesday and I don’t have enough done. However, the world keeps turning and things keep happening like The More magazine issue with me in it has hit the stands and the photo isn’t as scary as I feared. I have […]
Queen Jane
I have a friend who used to call me QJ, or Queen Jane because well, I love to be the boss, and I love being loved, and I love sparkly energy and good as well as beautiful things. It’s true. And while I don’t ask, or expect, anyone to call me QJ, I do love days […]
Back at Sea-Tac
It’s Monday quarter to seven in the evening and I’m back at Seattle-Tacoma Airport, or for those of us who seem to live here, Sea-Tac. In just minutes I board my Alaska flight for San Francisco and this is just after a quickie trip to Leavenworth for a Sunday full of book events, first at […]
Aloha
Hawaii and I have an interesting relationship. Here in Hawaii I savor sun and warm winds and the clear blue ocean. And here in Hawaii I smack–continually–into my shortcomings and limitations. Hawaii reminds me that I am a control freak. Hawaii’s laid back nature reveals my suffocating Type A personality. Hawaii’s open sharing makes me […]
Weekend in LA
I’m at the airport waiting for my flight to LA after a particularly stressful few days trying to get ready for Megan’s wedding. That’s right. I’m a guest at Megan Crane’s Dana Point wedding this weekend and I’m stressed. Pitiful, isn’t it? First, I haven’t attended a big fancy first wedding in a long time. […]
White Water
I’m not a kick ass surfer. In fact, on this trip out to Hawaii I couldn’t seem to stand on a wave. I spent all my time in the water fighting white water. I did everything I knew how–looked for a channel, waited for a calm between sets, sat back on my board, you name […]
Lemonade
I hate it when my kids leave me for their dad’s. I’m not saying I don’t want them to see their dad, but I hate it when they go. I hate the sudden stillness in the house, a stillness that will last five days until they return. When they go everything changes. When I’m on […]
New Year
I’m about to board my Hawaiian Airlines flight back to Seattle and sit here by the gate with the same lump in my throat that I get every time I have to leave Ty. You’d think after three and a half years it’d get easier going. You’d think that knowing I’ll see him in three […]
