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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I'm BACK from New York and, while I had a fabulous time there, as always, I'm delighted to be home.  I'm worn out and have some kind of bug, but eager to get back to my writing and my regular life. What all did we do?  It will take a week to catch you up on...

It's almost time to head out for the Big Apple.  Amazing.  The way time works, I'll be back home in a nanosecond, asking myself how the trip could possibly be over already.  🙂 Summer has finally arrived, it would seem.  We're having hot weather and the plants are...

I was really in the swing yesterday, writing and writing and loving every minute of it.  This Parable crew is a lively bunch! I'm leaving for New York this Sunday, taking a little vacation, and visiting the Big Apple is always a treat.  It will be hot but, what the...

I spent the night at the lake house, with the kids, and Bernice came along for the ride.  We feasted on barbecue prepared by my future son-in-law, Jeremy, and talked and talked.  They've been living in California for so long, we have some catching up to do.  🙂 At 10...

I love it when I wake up early--that way, I have a few hours to putter, drink coffee, feed indoor critters, listen to the Daily Audio Bible on my iPod and write this blog without feeling rushed.  Ideally, I'm at my computer by nine a.m., that being when I do my best...

Just in time to head out on a week-long trip to New York City.  On my to-do list?  Dinner at the Russian Tea Room with my beloved editor, Joan Marlow Golan.  The Flea Market.  Lee's Art Supply--one of my faves--and the Ink Pad, a rubber stamp store.  My niece Kelly...

I intended to blog on Monday, filling you in on all the details of my trip to Reno and the rodeo, but I was too tired to think straight.  🙂  Well, of course, Tuesday immediately followed Monday, the way it tends to do, and guess what?  I couldn't get online.  All...
