How About that Fall Programming?
Hey all,
Even overseas I try and keep up with the latest offerings for TV programming. And every year there are both Good and What the Hell Were They Thinking moments. For example, this year, there were several interesting shows that I've watched. Some excellent and at least one like...really????
For example...
Westworld
This series takes the old movie Westworld that starred Yul Brenner and gives it a slightly modern twist. Similar to the original, this HBO offering is gritty, real (except...

There’s No Place Like Home... Except Grandma’s
Hey all,
If you've been following me on Facebook, you'll have seen that my son and his lady are going to have a baby. And just this week, they discovered they are going to have a little girl! So that means I'm going to be the granny to the sweetest little princess ever!!! Woot!!!!
This is the way they told us... BEST. REVEAL. EVER.
As you can imagine, we are VERY excited. We have been waiting to find out the sex of the baby for a month now, and this was such a cute way to tell everyo...

Is it the DMV or the Bloody DMDon't
Hey all,
This is the blog I was going to share with you on Friday, but was rant blocked by my landlady and her ridiculous internet limit. But I've been writing this on and off over the last few days and took a quick trip down to Starbucks to upload it. Hopefully, it will come through okay.
I hate the DMV. Hate, hate, hate them. Actually, I don't think there are very many people who DO like them. Hmmm... Okay, just to be fair, hold up your hand if you do. *searches...searches...searches......

What Do You Mean I've Used It All Up???????
Hey all,
The rant blog I was going to write today has been postponed. Probably until Tuesday. Hopefully no longer than that. Our landlady here in Sydney neglected to inform us that our internet has severe limitations and my daily use to download information, contracts and do research for my books, sucked our time dry in less than a week.
Really? *sigh*
So while Jonathon and she figure out how to get me back on going, I'm stuck with my data (unlimited, thank God) on my phone. But typi...

I Don't Do Politics...I Just Like To Laugh
Hey all,
In the past I've used Tuesdays to talk about my releases, post silly blogs or let you know what I'm writing about. That won't change, but I think we can add to my Tuesday blogging schedule with some other info and news.
Case in point.
I don't do politics online. There is way too many ways for people to get angry, misrepresent your words or just plain act like idiots. (sorta like the politicians themselves)
But I have to admit I've really enjoyed reading through the different FB memes and...

Living Through A Home Renovation Is Like...
Hey all,
As you can see by the meme to the right, renovation can often be quite an adventure. Surviving can even be a struggle.
For me, I think while I worked hard to get things done and learned to live in a "dust zone", it was easier than what some people deal with. Partly was because of the help I had, but I think the biggest reason was that I did most of it on my own.
Jonathon was there only for a few days, and while he gave me daily input when he was gone, the majority of the work and decisi...

Signage, the Australian Way
Hey guys,
Since I just did my latest upcoming story blog--see links at bottom for that information--I thought today I'd give you a bit of a giggle.
As you know I'm always on the look out for funny signage, statues and street art. I've been in Australia less than two weeks and I'm already finding lots of fun to share. Ready???
Some of these I've shared of FB, so if you follow me there, think of it as a reminder treat. *grin*
Okay...not so much a funny sign, but one that made me think. ...

Renovate They Said...It Will Be Easy They Said...
Hey all,
Today's blog is a big braggy, I must admit. LOL But I have to say the renovations on the house were pretty damn good. I *puffs out chest* was a bit of a miracle worker. With the aid of my sons and a quick visit between Chile and Australia from my sweet baboo, we totally changed what that house looked like. Let's start with the kitchen!
Some of you may remember the cat puke pink cupboards. Well, the next person may not like what I did, but I can honestly say, we did the happ...

It's All Fun and Dragon Games Until Someone Falls in Love - Second Try
Hey all,
(sorry all...Blogger sent this ahead of time, before I could put in the latest cover reveal. I've added it below, so please let me know what you think!)
*******************
Even though I've been on "workcation" for the last few months, that didn't mean I wasn't writing. Oh no. And because of that, I've got a brand new book coming out this week.
Yep. For those of you who have fallen in love with my England dragons, you'll adore my newest hero and heroine. Hide and Go Dragon is...
