Happy Veteran’s Day! I’ve just dropped Megan Crane off at the airport and am so sorry to see her leave. It was awesome having her here! She’s great company and a wonderful friend and it was such a treat to have days just to discuss life and love and books. Now I’m facing a pile […]

Balancing Act
This is going to be short and sweet since its Saturday and a busy sports day with my son Ty having a soccer game in ninety minutes and my high school freshman playing in a water polo game over on Bainbridge Island this afternoon which involves getting us all in the car, over to Seattle […]
Heartstrings
Saturday I was at Hickam Airforce Base doing a three hour booksigning in the BX when my cell phone beeped. I had no one in line at that moment so I checked my phone and this was the picture text I received: I Miss My Mommy I have to say, I had a much harder […]
A JANE EXTRA: Two Janes and a Tammy
Hello! I’m Lilian Darcy and Jane has asked me to be a guest on JaneBlog, posting from far away Australia. I’m feeling the weight of responsibility, because I always love the things that Jane chooses to write about and I’m wondering what I can possibly add. There’s a whole mix of themes in my head right […]
Saturday Chill
I’m coooold. Having just sat through a lacrosse game in 37 degree weather, with snow and hail pelting down, my hair’s soaked and body’s chilled and that’s on top of the cold I was fighting…but lost out to. I hate it when you’re fighting a bug and the bug wins. Not fair, not at all. […]
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. […]
Bugs, Babies & Boys
The boys have a bug and I’m not sure if I do or not, or if I’m simply exhausted from flying. I noticed when I returned from Jefferson, Texas in January that I was really tired for about a week, and so I’m thinking I’m just tired from flying pregnant, but its hard to say. […]
A Good Day
It’s a good day! I slept soooo good last night–woke only once or twice–and slept right until the alarm went at seven instead of up at four and then at five and then at six. The carpenters are back, putting on the trusses today for the boys new room and bath (we had to add […]
Shey’s Story
I have spent a little too much time ‘researching’ online. In fact, I spent the entire weekend researching for Shey’s book, my Texas book, and I didn’t know that I actually went a little crazy at Amaon and eBay tracking down history books, cook books, memoirs, biographies, and more until the books started to arrive […]
New Book
I actually started writing the new book yesterday. It’s Shey’s story–Marta’s friend, the Texas model, in Odd Mom Out–and she’s back in Texas, although for how long remains to be seen. It’s wonderful that after four days or research and constant thinking about the book, that I opened up a new word doc and started […]
