Feels like forever since I blogged – oh wait, it has been. Let’s see…Friday we had another snow day so there were lots of preadolescents and adolescents in my house all day. Well, actually there were only five, but it sure seemed like more at the time. Saturyday was my oldest’s soccer game (indoor in […]
Mystic Circle is out today! As research for this story (and because it was ridiculously fun) I took a ten week citizen police academy course with our local police department. I’ve never really been one of those ‘man in uniform’ sort of girl, but during the course of class – particularly during the 12 hour […]
So I’m trying to be a good kid and get back into my writing groove. It’s been horribly interrupted lately. Following the funeral, the boys and I all got the stomach flu. HUZZAH. But, I’m making a valiant effort to get back on track. I’m working on Guardian’s Challenge which is the sequel to my […]
It’s been a long week. I’m so relieved it’s Friday. It’s really been a festival of suck around here. The mom of one of my son’s friends committed suicide. I’m having trouble making sense of this myself, let alone trying to help Killian make sense of it. In the last five years, three people I […]
Okay, I was tagged by the incomparable Brynn Paulin for this meme, and I asked my husband for help thinking of six random things about me and he said, “you…your moods…your thought processes…” Yeah. Thanks hon – so helpful. Anyway, without further ado… Six Random Things About Me 1. I have a large collection of […]
I was chatting with Kelly the other day about public humiliation via the written word. No…not my written words – other people’s. Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett wrote one of my favorite books of all time—Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. It involves an Angel named Aziraphale, a Demon named […]
On January 30th, my fourth Ellora’s Cave book will be out, and I’m getting kind of excited so I’m going to post the blurb and an excerpt from the bad guy’s point of view. Usually, I only write from the hero and heroine’s pov, but this guy wouldn’t shut his psychotic pie hole…much like the […]
Thanks everyone for your well wishes. The antibiotics are starting to kick in and I’ve got Buffy the musical to watch. Listening to Hinton Battle, James Marsters and Anthony Stewart Head singing is always good medicine. Also, I’m going to try to talk to my husband into stopping for Tim Tams, from everything I’ve heard […]
In addition to fun and games with the kids, I also cleaned the Pit of Despair that is…nay…was my office. It was so bad in there, I couldn’t walk across my floor – fabric, skeins of yarn, mountains of books, patterns, papers…tons and tons of papers. Hell, I couldn’t see the floor. Part of the […]
I can tell it’s time for the kids to go back to school because I’ve started to sing the Post-Holiday Carols. The one I’ve been singing the most lately, is Make Them Go (sung to the tune of Let It Snow) Oh, the children inside are frightfulAnd not a bit delightfulThey’re making me insane, ohMake […]
