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 […]
Uh, Hello God it’s Me
This is my first post from the road on the much anticipated ODD MOM OUT book tour and it’s an interesting book tour so far. The book part of the tour is going fine. My personal life is not so fine and Ken my poor media escort of the past 3 days has been subjected […]
I’m Not Marta
The Bellevue Barnes & Noble Launch Party on Thursday night for Odd Mom Out wasn’t just successful–with over 100 guests–we also sold out. 150 copies sold and we were short about 20. Fortunately a shipment of 40 arrived Friday noon. I dropped by the bookstore to sign their stock and by this morning they only […]
It’s A Blog
Today’s the day the JaneBlog grows up. No longer just a place where I comment in the privacy of my own home, on my private web page, the JaneBlog becomes part of the larger blog world with comments and RSS feeds, links, photos and categories. I’m honestly not sure I’m ready for a grown up […]
ODD MOM OUT Countdown
I think we’re down to 18 days now before Odd Mom Out hits the store shelves on September 27th. I felt my first flutter of nerves this morning as I addressed event postcards for my book tour that begins October 3rd and doesn’t wrap up until just before Thanksgiving. Readers and reviewers continue to tell […]
The Real World
I’ve had a few days of outer body experiences, and it may be due to my extreme fatigue of only finally finishing my book Monday at 4 pm (I had an end on Saturday night but I had to line edit the entire 563 page manuscript Sunday and Monday before emailing out). Once manuscript was […]
Finally
I have been writing pretty much night and day since July 28th to take Alpha Mom from fifty pages of notes, scenes and ideas into a 550 page manuscript. Essentially I spent the past month writing a chapter a day with a few extra days thrown in at the end for editing and revision. A […]
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 […]
Little Epiphanies
I had an email this week from a reader and she’d just read Flirting with Forty and she loved it. Loved it. She felt like I was inside her head and she said she hadn’t read a book she’d loved this much in so long. And then I did a double take and it wasn’t […]
