Reading Trend?

Question. Do you read more or less in the summer (as opposed to the winter)?

Monday…The First

I love when the first day of the month falls on a Monday. There’s something about it that feels like a new start. Weird, I know, but that’s the way it is for me.

The past week has been nutty around here (translation: no writing was done). So I’m hoping to get a better handle on things again this coming week.

A few things to tell you about today.

1) There’s a small Q & A with me at Community Bookstop.

2) A group of some really cool mystery writers have gotten together and formed the WHODUNIT A...

Bitty Bits

It’s Bits time!

1) Favorite homemade cookie flavor?

2) Favorite ice-cream topping?

3) Movie at home or movie in theater?

4) Must-have treat at the theater?

Eyes or Ears?

I’m curious. Do you listen to audio books? Under what circumstances?

That Dream Place

My dream second house would be on an ocean beach (or lakefront with a dock). It would have a big sunny kitchen (lots of windows) with a center island…and an eating area with a window seat. It would have a sunny living room. And a cozy office that I could decorate exactly the way I want to (billowy white curtains, a fireplace, window seat, large window). There would be a patio with a hammock (shaded) and lots of chairs for visiting.

Ahhhh, I love just dreaming about it.

I’ll Tell You Mine, If You Tell Me Yours

While some might say it’s not a “sport,” I am a machine when it comes to miniature golf.

Exhibit A:

I beat DH bysix points yesterday, DD # 2 by seven.

Now, it’s your turn. What’s your “sport?”

Stats and a Prompt

Today’s writing status: DONE (and in my editor at Penguin’s hands). Phew.

Next up: I start writing Sewing Circle Mystery # 1 (NEEDLE AND DREAD–April 2016) on Monday.

Between now and then:Bullet-pointing the first five chaps of Needle and Dread so I know what I’m doing when I sit down at the keyboard on Monday. And a little bit of fun (like a day in the city with DD # 1 today).

A writing prompt for all of you: Write the first two sentences of the day you wish you were having… Good luck, and I...

Crafty

I’ve never considered myself a very crafty person. I see people who can crochet blankets,sew dresses, build things, you name it…And I’m in awe. Truly. The “craftiest” thing I can do, is decorate cakes (and I’ve decorated a lot over my mom years).

What’s something crafty you can do? And do you have a project you’re most proud of to date?
