Werewolves and Vampires and Hairstylists... Oh, My!

by Ava Cuvay

Today is a "Two-fer" New Release Announcement: Not-your-average werewolves and vampires… Just in time for Halloween!
The first New Release is by my writer pal Melanie Jayne (writing as M. Jayne).  With “See Me,” she’s stepped away from Mature Contemporary to finally realize a paranormal werewolf story that had been bubbling in her brain for several years. The result is hot and fierce! Trust me, these aren’t your Grandma’s werewolves! They’re more alpha, more ruthless, a...

The Sagging Swamp

 by Margie Senechal


You're getting a rare treat today, the Thursday blog.

I was supposed to blog yesterday. I knew all last week that it was coming up. I was reminded on Sunday by Kristi that it was coming up. I remembered Monday and Tuesday. And then, I forgot on Wednesday until late afternoon when I was baking chocolate chip cookies (because I saw The Clock in the Wall on Tuesday and was compelled to bake).

So, here we go.

I want to talk muddy middles and no, we're not talking my waistline...

I Love My Gramps An #ALS Fundraiser @BonnieEdwards #GemsinAttic

This post is from Gems in the Attic, another blog. Because it's so important, we are sharing it in as many places as we can. I hope you will pass it on. Thanks to Bonnie Edwards for bringing it to us.

As the writer says, most of us know someone who's been affected by this horrible disease. The person I know is Jerry Stan Williams, one of the most inspiring people I've ever met. He shared his story on my blog, Window Over the Sink, in January.

Thanks to everyone for your support. - The Word Wran...

@AuthorKristina's 50 Books Check-In

 I haven't been diligent about reporting in on my 50 books challenge this year - probably mostly because I've only made it through 4 books on that list. It isn't that I don't like the books, but I've had several recommendations from friends that pushed past it. Also, that some of the books haven't been available at our local branch library so I'm on a waiting list from a larger city branch.

I really do like this challenge, though, and so I'm going to keep going with the list of the 50 mos...

Bird by Bird

My writer friend, Anne Stuart, often quotes Anne Lamott’s story about a time when her little brother was overwhelmed with a science project cataloguing birds that he’d put off. The night before it was due, he said to his father, “How will I ever get this all done?” His dad smiled and answered, “Bird by bird, Son, bird by bird.”
Words to live by—life is about to get really busy and I’m already overwhelmed. You see, we’re going to put our house—the one we’ve lived in for 35 years—up for sale. It...

12 Days of Heartwarming Christmas

We're back in Christmas town in 2018! This year there's a wedding and a carousel and all kinds of fun. Our stories are longer and richer. As usual, we've had so much fun going back.

My story, The Dark Horse , started --predictably enough--from the sight of my husband's fingers on the strings of his guitar. Of my grandson in military uniform. Of teenage grandsons whose lives have been nothing like young Connor Michaud's in the story, but whose expressions when they don't know I'm looking can mak...

For the Love of Audiobooks @JanaRichards_

Two more of my books have been made into audiobooks and I’m thrilled with the results.

The Girl Most Likely on Audible.com

Audio SampleCara McLeod, the girl most likely to have the perfect marriage, is now divorced and, in her own words, “fat, frumpy, and over forty.” The thought of facing former classmates—and the ex-husband who dumped her—at her high school reunion terrifies her. Cajoled into attending by her kids and her best friend, Cara enlists help at the gym to lose weight and look great...

By the Seat of my Pants

by Ava Cuvay

“I must have a big a$$, because people keep expecting me to pull things out of it.” 

I can’t claim that quote… a good friend said that in a moment of work-related frustration. Although I can’t claim the quote, I can certainly relate to it, in the best, self-depreciating sort of way. The older I get, the more I find myself having to fly by the seat of my pants, ill-prepared for what I need or want to do. As if life has become a Second City sort of Improvisational exercise....
