Art Therapy
Nothing reduces my stress (or increases my housekeeper's stress :)) like art work. Of course I am being wildly optimistic by using the term 'art'. Is scribbling water-soluable oil crayon all over a canvas and then blending the colors art? Who knows. But it's a lot of...
Good Morning, One and All
I am feeling SO much better now. And guess what? I finished "Logan's Return" last night. A little brush up before it zips off to Super-Editor, Joan Marlow Golan, and I'm ready to start book 2--Dylan's story.You're gonna like those Creed cowboys, my friends.I'm...
Day by Day, in Every Way….
I am getting better and better.At least, that's what I'm telling myself! I could snivel instead, but since I don't want to attract the results (thoughts ARE magnetic, you know, and more so when backed by emotion), I'll stick with that old saw from Dr. Emile Coue--I...
One Foot in the Stirrup
You're NOT going to believe this.I got deathly sick the night before I was to leave for New York, and I didn't get to go. Is that a bummer, or what?I am mostly recovered, but still not up to a long blog.More tomorrow--I hope.
The Day Before
It's the day before my big trip to NYC, and I'm excited. I'll be having lunch with some of the people from Barnes and Noble, meeting with my beloved editor and agent, as well as Leslee Borger and my friends at HQN. I plan to blog on the road, but since I'm leaving...
Day Late, Dollar Short
Yesterday was Valentine's Day, and I completely forgot to mention it on the blog. What kind of romance novelist forgets Valentine's Day??? I'm within a week of finishing "Logan's Return", so I have been focused on that, and working hard, but STILL. Happy Valentine's...
Poetry on Horseback
This morning my friend Vicki Webster forwarded a video of Stacy Westfall, riding a beautiful black horse with no saddle or bridle. I immediately wanted to share this treasure with you.Check out http://www.westfallhorsemanship.com/And prepared to be amazed, humbled,...
The Early Bird…
Gets to let the dogs out, then in again, then make the coffee! I got up at four this morning, which is around my usual time--lately, though, I've been sleeping in till seven. :)The house is very quiet--Bernice is at my feet, and Sadie is snoring on the bed. Even the...
Steve Miller
Today I'm going to tell you about Steve Miller, a good friend and a very talented western artist.As you've no doubt noticed, we share the same last name. That's because Steve is my ex-husband Rick's first cousin. He lives in Montana, with his beautiful wife, Terry,...
Even as We Speak….
Audible.com is downloading a bunch of new books for my iPod. What an age we live in, to quote Maynard G. Krebbs. If you remember Krebbs, you are of a certain age.As I have probably mentioned before, I am the original gadget queen, despite my propensity for spending a...
Coming Home
Well, as you know if you've been following this blog, I had a fabulous time in California. All that sunshine and those china blue skies--and, even better, being with Wendy and Jeremy.It appears that the writer's strike is almost at an end, and that's good news. Wendy...
Sunday Morning
I'm out on the tiny balcony with Bailey, the grand-dog, watching the world go by.This particular morning, I saw a young man of undetermined INS status, black garbage bag slung over one shoulder, going for one recyling can to the next, with a special metal...
