"Big Sky Country" debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list!!  This came as a joyous surprise, because I'd seen the competition when Wendy and I were cruising the book section at Target and I figured, well, maybe next time.  🙂  This is in large part due to...

I'm still a little rummy (as in tired, not drunk) so I'm off to a slower start today.  Oh, well.  I'm so eager to get back into my story--what fun I'm having with this bunch of characters! It's rainy out this morning--make that this WEEK--but I've got my happy lamp...

I was all set to blog every day while I was at the wonderful CREATE art workshops in Irvine, California--and suffice it to say, the universe was not on my side in this matter.  No matter what I did, I couldn't get online, even on the hotel computers or my daughter's...

Good morning everyone! I'm having a bit of trouble getting internet access so I might not be able to blog for the next few days.  Having a great time in California.  Will tell you all about it when I get home. Have a great day!!

Hello again everyone, I thought I'd share a Q&A I did recently about "Big Sky Country".  I hope you enjoy it!...

I'm off to the airport in a few hours, on my way to Southern California for the CREATE art retreat.  Wendy and Jeremy will be meeting me, and we're looking forward to a grand time. Heartfelt thanks for all your comments about yesterday's blog.  I agree--more flags,...

To: The Greatest Generation: World War ll veterans, our own soldiers and brave Allies, you quite literally saved the world.  You stood strong against tyranny and unspeakable evil, you suffered without complaint, for the sake of humanity and for America, our beloved...

I thought I'd share today's gratitude list, just for the fun of it.  🙂 1. I am grateful for the lovely sky-show this morning.  There was a hollow place in the clouds, fringed with light. 2. My niece Kelly spent the night here before heading home to the East.  Kelly...

I guess if you're not old enough to remember the vintage blues song the title of today's blog comes from, you'll either think I'm crazy, have very bad grammar, or both.  According to the little icon on the front of my iPhone, the sun will return on Friday.  I have...

It was great!  And today is my sister Sally's birthday.  Happy, happy, sweetheart.  I love you. My niece Kelly arrived on Friday night--she's going to special classes in pursuit of an advanced degree--and we had a lovely visit at my place.  Kelly is my brother's...

I've got to get somebody to show me how to access the whole of your comments since I haven't figured it out on my own and as of now I can only see the first line or so.  Just want you to know that I do read them and I do care what you say, though I can't always...

I'm revising Chapter 2 of the new book today, and drafting Chapter 3.  I'm amazed at how easy this process has become since I started treatment for ADD!  It's almost like that old fairy tale, where the shoemaker goes to bed and when he wakes up, the brownies have...
