He’s doing the robot, canyou tell? So my original plan was to blog yesterday, and to make it all pictures of Universal Studio, but my pictures didn’t send and to be quite honest, I was so tired by that point that I couldn’t brain words. So today the pictures sent, but by then, I was… Read More

So, packing for LA tonight and wondering how another Disneyland trip managed to sneak up on me when I’m fatter than ever.  That’s okay though– I’ve told every mother I know that we’re having dinner in the park, and to a one, they got big dreamy smiles and unfocused eyes:  “You’re eating dinner in the… Read More

 I admit it– I’m working on something easy right now.  I didn’t plan on easy– and it’s not that the work doesn’t have it’s challenges, but I have to admit, it’s been a pretty intense year, work wise. This was the year I finished Beneath the Stain, The Bells of Times Square, Black John, The… Read More

It’s inevitable.  It’s the last day of soccer.  The last day of soccer.   Squish’s team won, ZB’s team timed, and Squish had her banquet today.  ZB gets his on Monday.  ZB’s birthday is today, but his party is tomorrow.  Yes, you heard that. Pizza. Three days in a row.   And cake and cookies…… Read More

 Okay, so still sick– which means I’m the world’s must boring blogger.  I have accomplished a few things though. I managed to finally (cause it’s eight days late) write my November Amy’s Lane. It’s about where our creativity comes from, and after it was finished and I’d published it already, I came to a stunning… Read More

In one of my Green’s Hill Werewolf stories, (I think it’s Changing,) I bring up the concept of “bad shit” anniversaries.  Really bad stuff happened to Cory in Wounded, and when that same time of the year rolls around in Changing, everybody is bound and determined to keep Cory out of the fight on the… Read More

Okay, so we went to visit the puppy again (and Sam and his delightful family!) and two things came of this. A.  Johnny thinks the puppies are TERRIFYING.  He ran away, shook like a leaf, and yipped and snapped.  I’m a little worried about this, but we think if we keep introducing him to the… Read More

Okay– seriously– I could not have planned this month’s lineup any better if I’d tried.  Because here, at the height of Samhain, I’ve got urban fantasy, urban fantasy and nothing but the urban fantasy!   And puppies.  (Did I reel you in with the puppy?  Good– cause we’re taking her home in December, and then… Read More

So I pinched a nerve in my shoulder last night, falling asleep at the computer. This has happened before, and now that I’ve used a cold pack and about six motrin, I’m feeling slightly better.  The kids have to decorate without me, and I’m afraid Mate and Trystan are on for carving the second pumpkin… Read More

 First of all–have I done a cover reveal for this one yet?  I feel sort of mean doing it now– it’s not out until January, but, well, I’m editing it, and John is… Yum. Damaged, ruined, sarcastic and strong– I’m glad to be back in the Johnnies world again.  I have plans to visit again,… Read More
