1. It’s Friday (in case you haven’t figured that out yet) and time for something rare in my universe: a t.v. show the husband and I enjoy together. I’m just not that into t.v. – I’d rather be reading a book, or writing, or wasting time on the internet, but I have to say it’s…
Break out the Chapstick and Mentos – it’s kissing scene time! Here’ s my entry in the Kissing Scene Competition, hosted by Cupid’s Literary Connection. The following is an excerpt from my paranormal romance, To Catch A Fetch. A little background info to set the scene: Devyn Cartwright has been hired to do a photographic…
Ooops. Somehow I’ve managed to blow this before I even get started! Lemme splain: last week I caught a tweet by writing buddy Shannyn Schroeder about signing up for something called 8SentenceSunday. Intrigued, I poked around to learn more. My poking (more clicking, actually) led me to the Weekend Writing Warriors website – a fresh…
“Luck of the Irish!” That’s how the saying goes, right? Well, even though I’m not a full blooded Irish lass, I seem to have been lucky enough to get a full dose of traditional Irish looks (red hair, pale skin, freckles), and my fair share of luck too. For instance, I’m lucky enough to get…
Happy March! If there’s one thing to celebrate today, it’s that another February has gone away (actually, compared to Feb of 2011, this Feb wasn’t so bad). March means spring and green! Green means…St. Patrick’s day! The one day everybody suddenly remembers they have a wee bit of Irish in them. Last year I started…
The last weekend of January 2012 is rolling in…and while I cannot believe it’s almost time to say goodbye to a WHOLE dang month of 2012 already, I am looking forward to what is coming next (and hopefully it’s not a blizzard of epic proportions like we had LAST Feb 1st). No, I’m talking about…
It’s Monday…need I say more? OK…here in the MidWest it’s that nasty “Wintry Mix” weather outside today. You know, that stuff that sounds like a tasty snack but is actually disgusting slush that is extremely unpleasant to walk through. Also, on the family agenda tonight – shopping for new cell phones. (Visiting the phone store…
A few weeks back, I learned about a cute little website called Veronika’s Kandy Koated Dreams. I can’t remember how I first found her – Twitter maybe? Or perhaps her site popped up while I was looking for something Halloween related. Either way, I’m so glad I did! Not only because she does a wonderful…
1. Hello Fall! I don’t care what the calendar says, or that technically, fall doesn’t start for more than a week…Miss A has been in school for almost a month, we lit our first bonfire since late spring over the weekend, it was cold enough to make me want to wear socks around the house,…
Miss A and her Best Buddy (also a Miss A) having a blast on the Fourth of July. I can’t believe that was over a month ago. Summer, as always, is flying by on sandy winged bare feet. Just as these two friends are holding tight to each other, I feel the urge to hold…
