Corwin, my youngest, has been assigned the leaf project of doom. Apparently, there are thirty-three trees that are indigenous to Michigan, and he has to find leaves from twenty-two of them. He and I spent last Sunday wandering around a local college campus, and we found most of them. We still have at least three […]
I can’t believe I’ve been home from the Authors After Dark conference for a week and this is the first time I’ve been able to blog. The day job sort of exploded upon my return, so now I’m trying to get time sensitive projects put to bed so I can get back to writing. But, […]
Soooooo, it’s getting down to the wire and I haven’t packed a damn thing for the Authors After Dark Conference in New Jersey. Most of it will be no big deal in terms of throwing stuff together. Some of it will require an archeological dig in my office. Yeah, never did get around to cleaning […]
It’s Killian’s birthday, today. He’s 16. I was foolishly looking through baby pictures – foolish, because now I’m feeling like a bit of a sad panda that my boy has gotten so old so quickly. I blinked and he went from wearing his Harry Potter robes everyday and flying around on his broomstick to texting […]
I’ve had a lot of people ask me if Lucas and Quinn, two secondary characters, from Just Right, would ever get a story of their own. The answer to that has been, “Yes, as soon as I can get around to it.” Well, I got around to it, and their story releases today! Maggie’s Mates […]
I’d like to introduce you all to my dear friend, Jen/Abigail. No, she doesn’t have MPD…although, sometimes I wonder. She’s got a brand new writing persona for her fanfreakingtastic erotic romances. To celebrate the release of her first ever erotic romance, I’ve interviewed Jen/Abigail AND she’s giving away a .PDF of her new Vampire-Pirate romance, […]
There are few things I like better than listening to live music – well, good live music, anyway. Musically, it’s been a fantastic summer. I went to Lilith Fair with my sister, Cait, and while there saw Suzanne Vega and Sarah McLaughlin (also saw Miranda Lambert and still wish I could get that hour of […]
Today, Cait and I tag-team babysat our niece and nephew. I filled in for her while she went to a doctor’s appointment, and I had this conversation with my niece about her inflatable pool. Madelynn: It needs more air. It’s all floppy. Me: Sorry kiddo – you’re going to have to use it as is. […]
what my favorite Otherworldly creatures are, you can find out at the Evo blog, where I babble, possibly incoherently, because it’s really freaking late. And I’ve had a long, long, very long day with the day job. But on the plus side, there’s some fantastic art over there!
A few weeks ago, I stumbled across information that said that Brian Froud and his wife Wendy were coming to Traverse City for a book signing. I just about hyperventilated. I’ve always wanted to meet them. Brian is my very favorite artist and Wendy is a brilliant sculptor, specializing in dolls and puppets. We have […]
