How Did I Do?
This time of year always gets to me, in a good way. It's a whole season of excitement filled with family and friends and even strangers wishing you a wonderful life. I'm grateful for each and every one of them. Even though 2011 has been a challenging year for my family, in many ways, it has been a year of renewed strength, shared wisdom and open embraces. I will never forget this year. And now, that the time has pushed us to the end of the calendar where we say goodbye to 2011 and hello t...

Happy Holidays!
Happy holidays to all my friends.
Snow or no snow, the Christmas season is my favorite holiday. The world seems to slow down, just a bit, enough to allow family and friends to gather and catch-up.
I love making special dishes and desserts for all to enjoy. Today, I baked six different cookies--recipes which have been handed down from my great-grandmothers. Why is it we only make them at the holidays?
I love watching the eyes of the little ones brighten as they gaze up at the Christmas tree, sea...

Can The Holidays Be Happy For A Busy Mom?
Holidays are a time for family and friends, but with all we have to do it seems there is little time left over to spend with the family and friends. Let me share my philosophy, which will help relieve the stress your feeling. Your family and friends will never know or notice what you didn't get done. They will only see all that you did do.
So this year, I'm baking a limited amount of Christmas cookies and not the piles I normally do. There are always so many left over and I'm the one who tri...

Small Town Holiday Stories
I love small town holiday stories, don't you? They can be inspirtional or funny or filled with suspense, it really doesn't matter. If there are snowflakes and Christmas lights and decorations and the feeling of hope and love, I devour them.In 'In The presence Of Evil', Christmas is only a week away. At the insistence of his best-friend, Marine Cole Hanson returns to Mountain Pine, Pennsylvania for the holiday celebration. While he is not looking forward to facing the woman who broke his heart...

Because I Care About You
Cursor… Cursor..
Yes, I know many do their shopping on-line now and have thier gifts delivered, but there still many who enjoy the holiday shopping experience and brave the shops and malls. This post is for them because I care.
I decided to post this blog this week because next week, with the holiday, we'll be too busy to sit and read anything. Also, I'd like to reach as many friends and friends of friends before they head out the door and become victims, so please pass my blog link on.

Thank You!

I remember lying in the hospital, looking around at the ward full of beds, filled only by a few and wondering if the Army really thought there were so many pregnant women. I was young and naïve. Two years prior we saw the end of the Vietnam War.
My husband was on assignment. I was a thousand miles away from home and family. Not a long distance now days, but in the seventies I might as well have been across the globe. There was no instant communications. No pictures sent across cyber-...

Odd-Ball Writer
Cursor...
What is that title all about? That's what you're thinking, right? It's about me.
I think most people picture writers as reclusive individuals, living and working in isolated settings, wearing flannels or threads from the late sixties and talking only to our characters. Not worried which direction our hair takes either. Some of my fellow acquaintances might fit that image to the T, but me, not so much. Okay, I'll admit to having bad hair days. I do love working in my flannel PJs,...

Welcome Rachael Brimble
Thursday September 22, 2011
Woohoo! Today, I welcome back the fabulous Rachael Brimble.
That's her with Jodi Picoult. Cool, huh.
Rachael doesn't know it but we have so much in common--beside being Wild Rose authors. We both live near Bath, except her Bath is richer in history and is across 'the pond.' We both love big dogs. She has a Labrador named Max and I have an Irish Setter named Mac. And we both love taking walks in the country side (while dreaming of our next books) followed by a good gl...

Inspired By Vamps and Zombies, Oh no!
Sometimes inspiration comes from a source you hadn't expected. That happened to me this weekend, twice.
I've always said, "You can learn something from anyone." And it's, true.
This past Saturday my local writing chapter, The Pocono Lehigh Romance Writers, held a two hour workshop with speaker Jonathan Maberry.
(Pictured here with PLRW members Kathy Kulig, Me, Christine Bush, Kathy Coddington and Tina Gallagher)
Jonathan is very industry savvy and a phenomenal speaker. He's also a paranormal aut...
