  I finally got a new laptop!  I’m pretty happy with it so far.  The only downside is the touchpad seems to get kind of hot which is hard on the wrist after a while of typing.  And it gets smudgy since it has this cool fusion finish.  But other than that, I like it. …

I posted earlier in the week about bringing my current working story to the front of my mind.  It’s still there.  I got an unexpected week off the pay job and I’ve been devoting A LOT of time to getting this book together.  Yesterday, I printed research and went through it with a highlighter–notebook at my…

I haven’t read this book yet, but I’ve come to know the author a little through her blog.  Today, her debut YA novel hits the shelves.  Here’s her book trailer for a preview.  Looks cool! [youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR1mndok5SY]

I told Kelli that while I LOVED the toe tag pic and will probably use it on my more “thriller-like” offerings, I had this great image of an ancient magic book.  Since Dweller has an ancient magic book… and dead people…  she came up with this.  I LOVE IT!  Put it on my Who Am…

I figured out over the weekend that the visual images I’d picked out for the characters in my current WIP weren’t the right ones.  They just didn’t fit the two people taking shape in my mind.  So, I found new ones and sure enough, that broke the block.    Still waiting on Dweller and BOAA status.  Funny…

I don’t know what I did to get Kim Harrison’s widget to work on the left, but I’ve had no luck with any of the others from Harper.  Grr.  But I’ve been looking forward to this book.  Big Time!!!  Since the cool widget will NOT work on WordPress, here’s a direct link.  This is the…

I feel like I’ve been in a fight.  Swam yesterday and was having a blast going down a slide with my friend’s daughter.  But I went over and over and at some point, the bottom of the pool tore my feet up.  Plus, you use a lot of muscles playing in the water.  Muscles used…

“Black are the brooding clouds and troubled the deep waters, when the Sea of Thought, first heaving from a calm, gives up its Dead” Charles Dickens   Note:  I’ve changed the amount of posts that load on this page to hopefully make reader loading time better.  As XDell pointed out, I’m highly visual so I…
