Okay– the days have been quiet which doesn’t give me much blog-fodder, but I have a few things today. The first is I took the Odyssey in to get the back quarter repaired today–and realized I’d forgotten to reserve a rental car. I went to the rental car place–right next door to the repair shop–and… Read More

So… I’m going to be at Coastal Magic in Daytona Beach, Florida, in a couple of weeks, and I’m excited. I’m going down a few days early, spending time with a friend who both writes and knits, and we’re going to attend a class given by Franklin Habit. Be still my heart! I can’t even… Read More

So… I tweeted yesterday about taking the 9 a.m. Saturday morning aqua class to try to fit some aqua in before the rain comes again. It was 35 degrees when I got ready to leave. Yeah– chilly. Now, the pool was heated– 78 degrees for aqua, it might even be 80–so the worst part was… Read More

Zoomboy had a dentist appointment today– I was all over it. Was gonna take him at 10:30, get him back to school by 11:45, get to aqua right on time and BOOM. Day mastered, motherhood achieved. One or two little glitches to this plan. It started out well enough– I went to get him from… Read More

First of all, Rhae made me mitts, because she is wonderful. They are soft and scrumptious and smell like Damascus rose. You can’t have them, They’re MINE. (Thanks Rhae!) And about the cats… The balance of power has changed here at chez Lane.  I’m trying to decide exactly how to fix things, but cats are… Read More

*  The kids went back to school today *  It is still raining *  My shoes smell like troll vomit–I”m trying teabags in them to make them smell better tonight *  Speaking of “teabags” there is a term ZB uses for his games called “tea bagging”– I have no idea what it means, but since… Read More

I’m sorry– I know it’s confusing. I was originally writing and self-publishing just to be able to tell stories. I didn’t see it as an industry or a business until I”d been doing it for six years and had written three series. So the timetable for releasing all these books will feel really random if… Read More

When I was six years old, we lived in an old–extremely unsafe–house. We used to have to drain the claw-footed bathroom out the 1 1/2 story window with a piece of surgical tubing. I was very conscious about water.  I remember washing my hands and wondering, “Where does the water go? Will we ever run… Read More

So, I didn’t even realize until Friday night– late– that I’d forgotten to blog Thursday night. Oi! I figure that’s okay though– I have a FaceBook event tomorrow, HERE  the January Blast, with lots of giveaways and fun stuff, along with authors Kate MacMurray and Rayna Vause. I got Kim Fielding and Tara Lain and ZAM… Read More

*  I signed the contract for Red Fish/Dead Fish– yay! *  People seem to be enjoying The Virgin Manny-– which is good, because after my current project, I have to write the third in the series. (Yes, everybody, the second one features Taylor as the primary MC–but he’s been through a lot, I’m telling’ ya!)… Read More
