The Alpha Mom copy edits are done. That was a big chore. I’d thought the manuscript was pretty clean, but as with Odd Mom Out, I somehow got some of the chronology wrong and then the copy editors got another part wrong and started making changes and by the time the marked up manuscript reached […]

Walking The Walk
The kids don’t want me to leave today. I don’t want to leave today. Worse, I’m not sure I’m handling being on the road all that well anymore. Friday in Portland at the Women’s Show I was nearly mute at the microphone. I was up there on stage, my notes in front of me, looking […]
Heading to Portland
I’m at the Seattle airport waiting to catch my 11 am flight to Portland. I was supposed to be on the 9 am this morning but begged my publicist to change it so I could see my kids off to school. I’m at that point where I want to be mom more than author lady. […]
Severe Weather
I’m at Dallas-Ft Worth Airport seven and a half hours early. It’s ten am now and my flight isn’t until 6 something tonight but the storm has pretty much shut down my day of stock signings. I did make the ABC station for my appearance on “Good Morning Texas” but that was a nail biter. […]
Must Be Dallas
I woke up awhile ago. It was dark and hard to open my eyes as I slept in my contact lenses and forgot to pack the eye drops and glasses. Last week on the road in California Surfer Ty surprised me with a little lense kit to hold everything and I’d meant to bring it […]
Update From Fresno
I’m halfway through the California book tour with five events behind me and two events, one party and several days of media stuff and stock signings to go. All the events have been valuable and each is a bit different. My favorite part of the three days in LA was being able to see my […]
The Odd Mom Out Book Tour
I’m going to be on the road again starting October 3rd and traveling until Thanksgiving Weekend speaking, reading and doing Odd Mom Out booksignings. Probably the hardest week of travel though will be the very first week of the tour, the California leg where I fly into Los Angeles October 3rd and a week later […]
Back To Unpack
We returned from Europe last night and today is laundry and bill and errand day to try to get on top of things before I leave Tuesday for the RWA National Conference, this year back in Dallas. The trip was fantastic. London’s always brlliant but I confess, I loved Rome best. Venice is exotic but […]
Bon Voyage
Okay, not climbing on a cruise ship but an airplane, yet Bon Voyage sounds festive and fun and I’m praying that’s what my boys first trip to Europe will be–fun. We’ll board our British Airways flight in the next hour plus and sometime around 10 am UK time we touch down. My sister Kathy and […]
Cab Man
Waiting for the cab that should arrive in the next 12 minutes to whisk me to SeaTac where I’ll jump on an American Airlines flight for NY. I’m going to BEA this year and I’m finally starting to feel a bit of excitement. I’ve wanted to attend BEA for the past several years–its such a […]
