Wow.  I can't believe it's Friday again.  Actually, right after I typed that, I had to pause and double-check, It is Friday, isn't it?  Yes, it is!  HAPPY WEEKEND! 

My husband is out-of-town, and I made the huge mistake of watching CRIMINAL MINDS reruns last night.  Around ten o'clock, and thoroughly freaked out, I went to the freezer to dish out some leftover birthday cake, and lo and behold, a pound of ground beef was sitting on top of the birthday cake.  I experienced one of those severe g...

Hey guys!

Seven years ago, on this very day, I showed up for my first day of Writing in Depth, the online writing course where I started writing HUSH, HUSH!  The writing classes were a birthday gift from my husband because today, February 3, is...MY BIRTHDAY!

I'm thirty, flirty and thriving...plus one. 

To celebrate, I thought I'd post two things. First, the opening paragraph to HUSH, HUSH, as it looked seven years ago. Second, my favorite clip from Thirteen Going on Thirty (or in my case, Th...

Five minutes ago, I was cleaning the kitchen, and somewhat absently thinking about my blog, and that's when I got the idea to post this poll.  I know I'm not GREAT about blogging (I'm busy writing - this is a good thing!) but I'm trying to do better.  Far more people check my blog now than, say, six months ago, so I think it might be kind of interesting to see what you guys are looking for, and what you'd like to see more of. 

So I present to you today...a poll!  

Happy Friday, everyone!

I'm taking the weekend off from editing CRESCENDO, to give myself a little clarity and distance before I head into the final stretch of revisions, and thought it might be a good time for a, ta-da, blog post.  A Friday Five blog post.  I don't think I've done one of these in a while, and I miss them!  

5.  I can't believe lindsey_leavitt  's PRINCESS FOR HIRE comes out in the UK NEXT WEEK!  I was lucky enough to read the book last year, when it was still in manuscript for...

Oh man, you guys.  I am SO SORRY it has taken me forever to post this.  You guys all deserve a dozen roses for being so patient with me.  As I mentioned earlier, it was incredibly hard to pick just one name for my CRESCENDO character-naming contest.  But in the end, there was one entry that kept floating back to me, and never failed to make me smile.  I figured that was a good sign of a winning name.  Plus, it's just a little bit cheesy, and we all know just how cheesy my sense of humor is.  ...

Hey, all!

I'm back home in Colorado!  As you can probably imagine, I have a bazillion things I need to catch up on.  I promise I'm going to try to put a dent in my email, and get back to as many of you as I can.  I'm also going to do laundry, play with my kids and work more on my CRESCENDO edits - yay!  But even though I'm massively behind on everything, Texas was so worth it.  Y'all were AWESOME!  Thank you so much for coming out, for being so enthusiastic and fun, and a special thank-you to ...
