The Original Drama Mama

No, this is not another post about NaNoWriMo…though I’m finding it an incredible way to practice my craft. As I mentioned over at fellow Test Driver Tami’s blog when she asked what people expected to get out of it:
I am a fly by the seat of my pants kind of writer – and this story [...]

… or clutch her hand and ask her to come home with me, or faint, or completely embarrass myself in a myriad  of other ways…
Currently Diana is on a book tour promoting the recent release of the 7th (of at least 8, I think) novel in her Outlander series, Echo in The Bone. 4 years [...]

My time as a test driver of a Sony e-reader for the SmartBitches is nearly at an end. As an added bonus for having pimped out their bling to all our friends and family for the summer, Sony has offered to let us test drivers keep our Readers for a significantly reduced price…or if we [...]

Thanks to a tip over at the SB’s, I learned of the offer from Mills&Boon (the equivalent to HQ across the pond).  You can download a selected book from several of their series; a total 10 free books! I like using the e-pub file for downloads, load it up to Adobe Digital Reader, then copy [...]

Like getting to post a review on the Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Books website.
I can’t imagine how tickled I’ll be if a novel (I eventually manage to finish and submit to a pub) gets published. My skirt will flip so high you’ll see London, France, and a remote town somewhere in Alaska.

First of all, my Children’s Theatre Co. Zip Zap Zing was launched this summer with a six week camp. I wanted to start small and build slowly, since I am still a mom with 2 young kids and very little expendable income – but somehow I was lucky enough to have a very successful start [...]

So I’m sending my boy toy packing and stickin’ with my 2nd Sony e-reader of the summer: Miss Scarlett. Aside from that gawdawful cover of hers, she’s a sexy little tart, and we’ve already had quite some fun.
The problem is, Miss Scarlett is like that gossipy girlfriend: y’know the type:  the one you spend way [...]

Did you ever date someone until finally one day you just got so fed up with a particular quirk/problem/ISSUE that you decide to throw in the towel and announce you want to break up? And immediately following that announcement your no-longer-significant-other decides to suddenly “change” and start treating you better, cleaning up their life, and [...]

Did anyone immediately think of THIS when hearing that post title?
Excuse me for a minute while I recall my days of rollerskating and boy ogling.
And giggling…lots of giggling.
In stonewashed jeans.
But not rolled up. I never followed that trend.
Ok,  leaving nineteen-eighty-whatever and arriving in the here and now, I’m still happily married and all – but [...]

It’s been smooth sailing and sweet sweet reading bliss since the moment my test drive with the Sony PRS-505 e-reader began nearly a month ago.
Until today.
Today, I am a sad Panda.
Like I have done many times in the past few weeks, I lace up my Nikes, strap Lil’ G into the jogging stroller, turn on [...]
