Starting off with a bang!
Literally. Not an hour ago, a wind came racing up through the draw behind my house and swelled beneath the giant umbrella atop my outdoor table to send it flying. In the process, the glass top of said table shattered into a billion pieces! Fortunately, no pets or...
Libraries
On Saturday I visited two libraries here in the Spokane area--I've probably mentioned how dear these institutions are to me--and it was a wonderful experience. First, I stopped off at the Moran Prairie Branch, where I spoke to a lively group of readers with a lot of...
J. Peterman is back
Who, you ask, as you well might, is J. Peterman? He's the founder of the J. Peterman Company. (Doesn't help much, does it? 🙂 ) Since reading "Simple Abundance" many moons ago, I've been a fan of this unique mail order company--I especially love the catalogs, and...
Thank you!
Thank you for making "Big Sky Mountain" an official hit--it debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list yesterday! Believe me, that news counteracted recent health problems in a big way! I'm just back to writing the new book, so I'm going to make today's blog...
Light at the end of the tunnel
Back to the doctor for a chest x-ray yesterday--and the news is all good. It seems I DON'T have bronchitis (or anything worse)--I simply need to have my sleep apnea machine recalibrated. That's why I've been exhausted--I'm missing a few important sleep levels. 🙂 ...
Pajama Blog
This bronchitis seems like a two-steps-forward, one-step-back kind of deal. I start out with all this ambition, and then suddenly hit the wall and have to lie down and rest. It's crazy. I have appearances scheduled at two Spokane-area libraries this weekend, and...
Still recovering
In a fog of antibiotics and Vicks vapor rub. 🙂 I shall return.
I’m afraid to say I’m better….
I thought so yesterday, after all, and I got walloped--ended up flat on my back in bed. I did read, between bouts of profound slumber, as Dean Koontz's newest "Odd Thomas" book had just come out. I don't read his more fantastical, end-of-the-world stuff, but I do...
One foot in front of the other…
Suffice it to say, the bronchitis is peaking. Anything more would be Too Much Information. 🙂 I love reading your comments--the second Sadie dedication was an accident, so I went ahead and dedicated the third book in the series to her as well. I asked her to send...
On Second Thought…
Remember how I was so eager to write yesterday? Well, one little thing got in the way. My cough, which I thought was caused by allergies and fatigue from the big trip, turned out to be bronchitis instead. Yikes. So now I'm on antibiotics and determined to write...
Greetings from Sunny Spokane
Well, I'm still a bit under the weather, but so much better that I'll be spending the day in Parable for sure. 🙂 One of my favorite places to be. Tomorrow, "Big Sky Mountain", Hutch and Kendra's story, will be released! I can hardly wait for you to meet the new...
Back among the living—I think 🙂
What a week! Truth to tell, I spent much of it in my pajamas, recovering from all the fun and excitement of the trip to New York, plus various (thankfully minor) dramatic events. I did a Facebook chat with the marvelous Nicki Boyle over on the Linda Lael Miller Fan...
