Favorite Summer Reads
Summer is coming and that is my time to reread the books I love. For many years--many years ago--I reread Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind and Rachel Fields's book All This and Heaven, Too. Then I went through my Daphne du Maurier summers, where I reread Rebecca, The House on the Strand, Jamaica Inn, The Scapegoat . . . well, you get the picture. Now, my summer comfort reads are Liz Flaherty's One More Summer, Jar of Dreams, A Soft Place to Fall . . . oh, heck, anything by Liz Flaherty...

Monday, Monday...so good to me...
It's Liz here.
Today I am going to do what Margie does so well on blog posts. I'm going to write in pieces and parts without feeling as if a beginning, middle, and end are requirements. (I just gasped and had to force my fingers to stay on the keys because in my writer's mind, of course they're requirements.)
My daughter-in-law's birthday was yesterday. She is one of my favorite people in the world, so dear to me I don't know how to put it into words. It's different, how you feel about your kid...

A.D. Ellis is in the House!!
My Peep-Show month is almost over. I’ve been thrilled to present new releases by just a few of my fellow writer friends (and, thrill you with a peek at cover model Scott Nova J), and today is my last opportunity for April. Don’t get me wrong, I love promoting other writers, and hope you don’t mind me doing that here at Word Wranglers. One of the worst things about being a writer is knowing how many readers out there may never otherwise be introduced to some of these fabulous gals (and guys)....

Muddle Through
by Margie Senechal
I was hoping I'd wake up with something to write, but alas, waking up before the sun isn't good for the synapses. At least mine, but I shall muddle through.
On Tuesday, Jordan and I went to see Hello, My Name Is Doris. And Sally Field is such a delight in it. Jordan was the youngest one in attendance and I think I was a close second. And we both enjoyed it immensely.
I am reading The Year We Turned Forty bu Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke. It's about three friends getting wh...

Scenes from a cluttered mind...again
by Liz Flaherty
My apologies if you've read this before--well, and my thanks, too. I wrote it a couple of years ago and happened onto it the other day. I liked it, and my mind hasn't cleaned itself up any in the interim. Have a great week!
I’m not a very attentive person. Well, I’m attentive, just not when and where I should be. I’ve said before that if I were in school now, I’d probably be diagnosed with some kind of horrifying but hopefully treatable acronym. As it is, I’m unfocused to the ex...

Confessions of a Cover Model
Since April is my "peep show" month,here is a peek at Scott Nova.
You can look, but don't touch :-)This month, the Indiana RWA Chapter hosted cover model Scott Nova to join us for a presentation about all things cover model. My blog title is rather misleading, because Scott is far too much of a gentleman to dish any dirt. However, his presentation brought to light information that I was either too naïve to realize or too new to the industry to understand. It was also a poignant spotlight on so...

To Garden, To Dream
by Margie Senechal
There are two things that I dream/fantasize about--writing the perfect book and creating the perfect wildflower garden.
Both things take a ton of energy, focus, and dedication from me. Both things are still wanting.
The past few days we've had summer like temps going on here in the PNW--breaking records type weather.
Yesterday was my day off so I decided to go out to my neglected flower beds and do some culling. I have four flower beds--the one in the front is kind of a...
