31 Days

Something about the fact that October is starting on a Monday has attracted that “goal setting” side of my brain that has served me well on many occasions. It’s like the double new start (a Monday…and the first day of a new month) is just begging to be my own personal starting line.

So, I’m lining up, looking down the pike at afew different finish lines I want to cross by the time October 31st rolls around.

#1. I want to curtail my eating. I’m not big, by any stretch of the imagination, but I n...

My Gift

I’m sitting here, writing this blog, as I wait forDear Daughter # 2 to wake up for school so I can wish her a happy birthday.

She’s 14 today and I find myself hovering between happy (that she’s healthy and sweet and smart and wonderful) and sad (because while I”ve enjoyed every minute of her 14 years…it has simply gone too fast.).

From the beginning, this has been an easy kid–easy pregnancy (she was too quiet at times), easy enough birth (although she took her sweet time for 24 hours), super ha...

Did You Notice?

For those of you who come to my site every day (thank you for that), did you notice the changes?

If you did–good eyes.

If not…look up to the top of the page. There’s a new link (books) which will take you to a page with all seven Southern Sewing Circle covers. You can click on any of the covers in order to be taken to a page with a more indepth look at each book!

Oh, and the home page is revamped as well, with a nifty welcome letter.

Soooo, if you’d like a sneak peek at LET IT SEW (book #7–rele...

Road Trip

Well, my car is packed and I’m on my way to Hanover, PA for anevent at the Guthrie Memorial Library this evening. As always, I’m eager to meet my readers and hoping we have a great turnout.

The drive is a little longer than I’d thought, so I had to hit the road while it was still relatively dark. My talk isn’t until 6:30 tonight, but I’ve been invited to listen to another author’s lunch event which necessitated the earlier than anticipated departure.

My favorite CDs (Casting Crowns and Mercy M...

A Fine Line

Ever find yourself in a love/hate relationship with the whole internet thing? I do. All the time.

Over the weekend, I loved it when we got to SKYPE with my stepson who is away at college. Seeing his face on the screen makes him feel a little closer than a regular phone call could ever do.

Yesterday and today, I like it because I can reach my readers easily–sharing covers (just updated my cover albums on Facebook) and information about my books and events.

Then there are the days it makes me sad....

Amid the Nuttiness

Life has felt a little nutty lately with an unending list of things that have to get done. Yet, as nutty as it has been, there are some stand outs I thought I’d share with all of you.

*The last two day’s worth of college visits were a success. I think Dear Daughter #1 may have found her school.Now I just have to figure out how to pay for it(see nuttiness comment above)…

*Came home from said college visits to find that my 2010 romance, A Mom For Callie, is now available in Madrid. The cover pho...

For Now

On some college visits with the girls right now, so I’ll be back on Wednesday!
