I blogged three times this morning, or tried to anyway. I deleted the posts because they were whiney. My nerves are frazzled. I'm cranky. I have a blemish on my...
Yesterday was my only day off this week, and I spent it being a writer. All day. I wrote five new pages and edited past chapters, per Cyndi's critique. Then when Cyndi...
In relation to my post on 9/2 regarding the movie Sunset Boulevard, my friend Brooks asked if I had seen the new HBO series, 'The Comeback'. Actually, I have, and there's a...
I'm worried about my young friend, Stacie. She wrote me quite a few months back. She's read all of my books. She's a big fan of my stories. (Bless you, Stacie!) I remember...
Today, I'm pulling a double. Eight hours at the library directly followed by four at Ballys Wild West. Tomorrow afternoon I'm booked for another performance at the Wild...
The other night I caught a portion of the movie Sunset Boulevard. It's a classic and yet, for whatever reason, I have never seen it. Even the other night I came in...
I remember when 9/11 hit. You know what I'm talking about. I live in New Jersey. NYC is about 2.5 hours north. Close. Really close. I felt the impact of that...
The devastation in New Orleans and all of the other areas hit by Hurricane Katrina is heartbreaking. I have a friend in the Miami, FA area who is still without electricity....
Performed at Ballys Wild West casino Monday night. Three priceless moments. Awesome moment: When I walked in and saw a particular sound tech setting up our gear....
I wish. Actually, I'm Spring Cleaning. I know. It's late summer. What can I say? I'm fashionably late. I want a cleaning person for Christmas. What's on...
Worked at the casino box office yesterday. We were understaffed, the shows were sold out. Unfortunately, patrons had to wait in line longer than usual because staff was...
Wrote eight new pages on my WIP last night. Toward the end, it was almost strict dialogue. I was on a roll or rather the characters were, so I didn't stop to consider body...
I have a day off today. Finally. From day jobs and performance gigs, that is. I'll work harder today than any one of those days because I'll be trying to make keen...
I want to thank everyone who called or wrote with their warm wishes regarding my recent sales to Medallion and HQN. Your enthusiasm takes my breath away. It feels like I've...
On top of the awesome news that I'll be writing two more western romances for Medallion Press, this just in.... I'm signing a three-book contract with HQN! HQN is...
I'm bursting with good news this morning! Yes, finally, I'm spilling the beans. Some of them anyway. First of all, I just received the cover for my 2/06 release from...
I finally stopped re-editing the first five chapters of my WIP. I wasn't changing specific events or scenes. I just kept rewording and embellishing--getting it to...
I update the welcome letter on the front page of my website on the first of every month. I also post new information as it comes in--books covers, book signings, excerpts,...
Disclaimer: Worked late emceeing at Trump Marina last night. Got up early to write. Brain's a bit fuzzy. Rambling thoughts... 1) Puppy's are a practice in...
It's all Steve's fault. He was scanning our local Humane Society website. "Look at this," he said to me, knowing I'm partial to German Shepards. (My mom raised and...
Remember awhile back when I said I had all sorts of possibilities brewing with different projects? Well, almost everything is still brewing. Two, well, actually...
Awhile back we touched on book trailers which are, in essence, like movie previews. Visual teasers for books. Although this may seem like a new field to most of us, this...
Finished the edits. Mailed the manuscript. LASSO THE MOON is in the can! (so to speak) Yee-haw! Eagerly awaiting the cover. Once again my story will be blessed by...
Like most people, I have quite a few pet peeves. Rude people are fast zooming to the top of the list. Make that nasty, inconsiderate, insensitive people. I wrote a...
Anyone remember the game show Beat the Clock, where contestants tried to complete all sorts of wacky stunts within a limited time-frame? Lately, I feel like one of...
