Thirteen Reasons to Go Adopt a Pet
On Saturday, June 9th, I will be attending a very special event near and dear to my heart. The Freeport Humane Society will be holding a Pet-A-Thon. The charity event hopes to raise awareness of dogs and cats in need of good loving homes.
I will be at the event with a table full of books for sale. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the charity organization to help with funding for food, cleaning products, facility care and veterinarian services. Also, I will be raffling off a basket full of the | … Read More » Posted in Uncategorized | 26 Comments »

In the meantime, Rhian is the winner of Kate’s contest and won the very stylish charm bracelet. *pout* LOL! Rhian, you lucky woman you. I think you mentioned winning some books lately too.

Okay not really. It’s Sunday and I’m thinking about everything I have to do this week and there is simply too much to keep track of. I’ve got school stuff, freelance writing stuff and the biggie is the author stuff. I keep hearing that women are great multi-taskers. Which women are they talking about? LOL! Dh complans that I can’t do two things at once. To me, the problem is that my brain is always thinking about twenty things at the same time or it’s only thinking about my writing in which case, everything else gets shoved aside. Seriously, though, … Read More » Posted in Announcements and Events, Life in general, Writing life | 2 Comments »

Before I started writing, I stayed hip deep in books. I’d finish one paperback and pick up another. I couldn’t get enough of mysteries and romances or thrillers. My reading time has dropped off quite a … Read More » Posted in Uncategorized | 21 Comments »

Mark that date on your calendar people. On September 25th, 2007 Dark Waters, my debut novel, will get its digital release from Samhain Publishing. I don’t know whether to squeal in excitement or have a nervous breakdown. I think I might start biting my nails again. *grin* My editor (and how cool is that to be able to say my editor) says I should have edits by the end of June and a cover sometime after that or maybe earlier. I’ll be sure to post the cover when I have it. We can all oooh and aaaah over it … Read More » Posted in Announcements and Events, Main Menu | 9 Comments »

| Thirteen Famous Left Handers |
Dh and I are right handed. Ds#1 and #2 are right handed. It was something of a surprise to realize ds#3 is left handed. I don’t think I noticed until he was two or so. At that age they dig that plastic spoon into their bowl with either hand or even give up and use their fingers. But gradually, I could see that he preferred his left hand.
I’ve heard it said that one in ten people are lefties. And of course, there is the whole right brain vs. left brain thing. I can say that … Read More » Posted in Uncategorized | 30 Comments »
