* A chance to sleep in. * A scroll with a vase of flowers made of handprints from a six year old with REALLY BIG hands! * Cookies for breakfast! * A four year old who wanted to give me a pretty pretty vase of flowers. * A card with a magnetic ‘mood indicator’–one that… Read More

So, I’ve been working this month on a WIP that wasn’t dragon ridden. I thought I’d get a jump on that fucker, you see, and work steadily on something I liked but didn’t grab me by the throat. But… but… I couldn’t figure out why it didn’t grab me by the throat? What was I… Read More

Okay– Big T, is, after all, going to the prom. This is big news. Why? Because some bizarre y-chromosome thing kicked into place during this whole experience, and it was a near thing. Want proof? Moment the first: The psyche out. Big T has an Object Of Affection– we’ll call her Ooa. Anyway, T wanted… Read More

I want to know WHICH inspired member of the knitting community was responsible for the glorious works of art found on THIS EPISODE OF MYTHBUSTERS! Whoever it was? You ROCK!

Royalty Check. Because that’s the only reason he’s alive. Yup, poor old Dennis Quaid– there he was, under the surgeon’s knife to have one little bittie tooth removed.

My children are doing okay, I think–Squish has had some issues–I think she’s… Read More

After trying to gently brace my editors at DSP for the fact that I may be working on some non-DSP projects starting in the summer, I was threatened (gently, and we shall not name who did the threatening) with the possibility of somebody feeding my plotbunnies radioactive chocolate carrots. She did not tell me that… Read More

Don’t talk to mommy. She’s EDITING. Honestly, folks– that’s all I’ve got. I got Making Promises to edit this weekend, and “Phonebook” to sneak in the middle, and my entire weekend has been a blur of my own words. I sort of wish it was a blur of J.R. Ward’s words. I REALLY wanted to… Read More

Lots of writing news today… I mean, more than I can believe. First of all– Get a load of this! Yeah– that’s Keeping Promise Rock in audiobook, and since I didn’t realize it was going to be released that way (either I’d forgotten, or I’d just never really looked close enough at anything coming my… Read More
