Back in my office chair
And mighty glad to be here, thank you very much. 🙂 Jeanne Wagner, you are so right on (see Comments)--I CANNOT bear any of the Animal Cop shows, either, even though I have the highest respect for the work those people do. Thank God for them, because they provide a...
If at first you don’t win a signed book….
Try, try again. 🙂 There will be a new giveaway every week, beginning on Monday, ending on Friday. This week's winners are Sandra S. and Mary Adams. Sandra and Mary, there have been some glitches with Jenni's computer. If you have sent your snail mail info, please...
I’m working. No, really.
🙂 I'm just a little late getting to the office, that's all. Like, about six hours late. This will be one of those rare but lovely days when I write in the late afternoon and evening. Years ago, I wrote an entire book, "Time Without End", one of the vampire...
Bull-headed story people and other ramblings
LAST WEEK'S winners are Georgie Edgar and Maryjane Hoffman--your books will be in the mail today or tomorrow. Winners for THIS week will be notified tomorrow and announced in Friday's blog. I'm pretty much over my trip-exhaustion, and glad of it. The new book is...
Finally!
And the mystery location was.... Jackson Hole, Wyoming! Jenni and I left the Triple L at 4:20 AM last Wednesday--yikes--headed for Spokane International Airport. (I'm not sure where the 'International' part comes in, as I don't think you can fly directly to Canada OR...
Monday
You know I love Mondays, if you've been reading this blog for a while. Weatherwise, this one definitely qualifies as gloomy, overcast and dark, with more rain on the way. We had a dandy thunder and lightning storm last night--what a show! The weekend went pretty...
Internet Woes
I had no internet service all day yesterday--I'm not sure why--so I was unable to blog. This week's winners are Bonnie G. Fahy and Jennifer Damone--congratulations! We'll begin a new round on Monday, so keep the faith. 🙂 It's almost the weekend again--how did THAT...
A day to remember….
I'm in a thoughtful mood today, remembering those who died in the attacks of September 11, 2001 and those who mourn them. The victims, of course, passengers and crew on those four airplanes, the men and women who perished in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon,...
Fall is falling
I've said it before, but it bears repeating--I LOVE this time of year. The sun is still shining brightly most days, but it's cooler, and getting crisp of a morning. I'm inundated with garden vegetables--the tomatoes are ripening and I've cornered the market on...
My mystery weekend
Mum was the word on Friday--I was heading to L.A. to attend a surprise party for my dear friend, Cindy Leuty-Jones, so I couldn't mention my destination for fear of arousing suspicions. 🙂 I stayed at the lovely Westin Hotel at LAX, and on Saturday, Cindy and her...
The winners
Congratulations to Regina M and Pat Yates, this week's winners!
The Long Weekend
I slept a lot. 🙂 I listened to "Fragile", by Lisa Unger, practically at one sitting--if lying in bed with my iPod going can be accurately described as a "sitting." This is a very good suspense novel, obviously, and I do recommend it. For me, free time always...
