If you’re interested in learning more about my writing journey, MaryAnn Diorio posted an interview yesterday on her great blog. Check it out here. It’s still surreal to be asked to do interviews!
You never know what you’ll find in the clips…
Every weekday I get a clipping from a legal news service. Somedays, there’s nothing interesting in the stack. Other days there are all kinds of stories that grab my attention. Here’s a sample from today: The Washington Post reported today on the high incidence of respiratory illnesses in people who worked at the Ground Zero site. Many states have minimum …
If at first you don’t succeed…
I’m going to try again. You’ll find I’m not easily deterred. Well most of the time. I have another great book to give away. This time, I’m giving away Scoop by Rene Gutteridge. You can read my review of the book here. Now y’all have to help me out here. I have a stack of books looking for good homes. …
We’re going to the Super Bowl!!!
Watch out, Miami. Peyton and company are going to the Super Bowl. My stoic husband was jumping all over the room. And what a game! The defense stood when it needed to and the offense clicked through its series. Even Peyton got emotional at the end. It’s been a long time coming. And who would have thought at halftime, when …
Blogging
It’s not every day my blog gets mentioned in another blog. Today Candice Speare metioned me. Check it out here. In the middle of the serious nature of blogs, she throws mine in. Hehehe. But her blog did make me wonder. What is it that you like about the blogs you read? What brings you back? What makes you decide …
Interactive Dressing Rooms
According to this article in USAToday, interactive dressing rooms could be on the way at your local retailer. I can’t quite imagine standing in front of a mirror and camera that shoot the image of me in a possible new outfit to friends around the country, but I suppose I’ve heard of stranger things. Dressing rooms certainly need a face …
Review: Arms of Deliverance by Tricia Goyer
I have to tell you up front that over the last year Tricia Goyer has become a dear writing friend. The crazy thing is we’ve never met, but I feel like we’re connected. Amazing what happens when you read each others works as they develop. Fortunately for me, I didn’t get to know Tricia until after she wrote Arms of …
From Skating to Diplomacy
I saw an interesting article in USAToday about Michelle Kwan. She’ll be on a diplomatic tour in China for ten days. So from representing the US in the Olympics and other sports arenas to representing us in meetings in China. Another example of you never know where your life experiences will lead… There’s also an interesting trend in federal courts. …
Secret Santa?
I just saw an article in the USAToday that made me stop — it details the story of a man from Lee Summit, Missouri, who for more than 25 years handed out money the month of December — just because. It all started in 1979 when he’d lost a job the week before Christmas and realized the waitress helping him …
Violet Dawn Give Away
All right. I’m going to book give-aways again. I have several fabulous books sitting on my shelves just waiting for a home. Since Brandilyn Collins second installment in the Kanner Lake series releases in March, I’m going to relaunch give-aways with a signed copy of Violet Dawn. This is a fabulous suspense. I called it one of my favorite suspense …
