Okay–just gonna ramble on, with asterisks. It makes the blathering look organized: * Took the teenagers to an anime con yesterday. It was a whole lot of fun–and we met the guy who did storyboarding designs for Batman Beyond, Static Shock, Teen Titans, ad infinitum. I tried not to drool over him–for one thing, he… Read More

I thought I was doing a good job of it, actually, until I took around and it was eleven thirty and not only had I not blogged myself but I hadn’t checked anybody ELSE’S blog, and everyone was asleep and the house was a disaster, and I’ve got one (count it) day until I have… Read More

It’s up it’s up it’s up it’s up! Okay– so it’s not AVAILABLE until January 18th– and it will probably be another week or so before it hits amazon.com… but it’s up on the ‘Coming Soon’ and Deacon is just SOOOOOOOO purty, and I’m so excited… And since it’s up, and it’s not all a… Read More

Okay… has anyone else succumbed to this little ploy? I brought Squish to the yarn store this Saturday, and she was actually pretty well behaved. (I need to remember this because she’s been a poster child for children’s straitjackets ever since.) Anyway, she went touring the digs and impressed a couple of people– one notable… Read More

Everybody goes back to school this morning except me and Squish. Not to sound like too much of a curmudgeon, but it really is ‘the most wonderful time/of the year!’ Seriously, I look forward to this week. There are no obligations (okay–we’ve got an orthodontist appointment at 4:15–I forgot about that.) There are no Christmas… Read More

To my darling daughter– I’m sorry the bands on the Rose Bowl parade were not as exciting to you as they were to us. And forgive us for the miscommunication–honey, we didn’t know you expected to see “Martians” there. We were only looking at the “marching” bands. Love Mama, who used to be in a… Read More

1. I’m working on Making Promises (sequel to Promise Rock) right now. I’m dying to finish Jack & Teague, and I have an idea for a hot little novella, but right now, Mikhail is BREAKING MY FREAKING HEART. Anyone out there know anything about Russian endearments and swear words? I feel the need to have… Read More

Such a sad day, really. It’s Monday, so Mate’s getting back to work, and I’ve completely forgotten what it’s like to have a day off where he doesn’t figure. Last week, we took the big kids shopping at the mall (hateful place–not as hateful as the mall where a partially finished hat W/some lovely Hiya-Hiya… Read More

(If I Must is on sale on the amazon.com Kindle. If anyone feels like logging on and giving it a review, it wouldn’t be quite so lonely among the other Amy Lane books. I mean c’mon… doesn’t that kitten look lonely?) Seriously– it’s there on the Kindle–I didn’t think it would be. If you want… Read More

Okay–I’m sure I’ll have lots and lots of stories tomorrow, but today, I’ll leave you with this: At my parents house, as everybody was simply gathering and chattering and catching up, we became aware that the volume level was significantly up from where it should be. Then we became aware that ZoomBoy was singing “The… Read More
