Thursday Thirteen: Thirteen Photos Which Inspired 27 Stages

Ciao a tutti! Hi, everybody! Thanks for dropping by for this week's Thursday Thirteen. Since I'm very busy, preparing for my trip to the US next week and wrapping up all the work on 27 Stages , I thought I'd share a few pics which have inspired me throughout the long slog from start to finish.

So, yeah, it's a blog of cyclist photos. *clears throat*

Thursday Thirteen: 13 Questions for Chris Hollis, Author

Ciao a tutti! Hi, everybody! It's time for another Thursday Thirteen, and this week I have a special treat for everyone. You see, back in 2008-9, I had the pleasure of meeting a number of good writers on the Harper-Collins Authonomy website. I read many great books while they were still in their development stage, but there was one book in particular which stood out in my estimation. One, a psychological thriller (which is not a genre I normally read), was so good, I read all of the ava...

I Love You and Miss You, Dad

Four years ago today, my father passed away. I think of him every single day, not just on the anniversary of his death, or on his birthday.

I miss him every day in some small, almost insignificant way. Some days I miss him more than I would have thought possible, after the sometimes rocky and difficult relationship we had. In the end, however, we came to understand each other better, and that made a world of difference.

For that reason, I am glad that I miss him. I am glad to hurt, at lea...

Thursday Thirteen: 13 Things I'm Doing to Get In Shape

Ciao a tutti! Hi, everybody! It's Thursday again, and as I hinted last week, this time around I thought I'd share a little info on what I've been doing to get myself back in shape. While my success has been rather modest so far, I am feeling better all the time - and isn't that what it's really all about?

So now, please allow me to share with you:

Seems pretty obvious, doesn't it? And yet...

Thursday Thirteen: 13 Things Which Have Made Me Smile This Week

Ciao a tutti! Hi, everybody! Yep, it's been another super-busy week for me, especially since I'm getting ready to return to the US for the summer and have to wrap up a lot of different things: writing, formatting, cleaning, packing - the list just goes on and on.

Unfortunately, that means I haven't had time to dedicate to a Thursday Thirteen this week. But don't worry - I've managed to pull something together I think/hope you'll enjoy.

So, please allow me to share with you:

Thursday Thirteen: 13 Fantastic Finishes!

Ciao a tutti! Hi, everybody! It's another rainy Thursday here in Italy, and you know what that means: it's time for a Thursday Thirteen! It's also only fair to warn you: since I'm working hard to get 27 Stages polished up all nice and pretty for a late Spring release, and since I've been watching cycling races as the season kicks into high gear, I've naturally got cycling on the brain.

This week, I'm begging your indulgence as I share with you (in no particular order):
13 Fantastic Fini...
