Can you believe November is over already?  My life is crazy right now…it's quite appropriate that my book's title is Whirlwind, considering how things are flying around me!  And with the holidays just getting started, I may have to change the name to Tornado!

There's lots of blogs and lists that have great ideas for making life a little less stressful this time of year, but I thought I'd pass on a few tips over the next couple of weeks that I...

Thanksgiving came and went…well, unless you're still working on leftovers!  Did you venture out for Black Friday or are you online today, enjoying the now traditional Cyber Monday specials?  Me, I didn't venture out until yesterday.  The sales before Thanksgiving were enough for me, and I didn't want to get in the way of the ninja shoppers out this weekend.  Yes, I'm a shopping wimp!

It's kind of ironic that we finish our look into eReaders with a mostly tongue-in-cheek...

Today is a great day – it's a birthday shared by two of my friends: Raquel C and Killian McRae. Both women are smart, funny, and a blast to spend time with. I'm exceptionally privileged to have such intelligent and caring women in my life…and extremely lucky that they allow me to hang around with them, both online and in real life!

Birthdays have traditionally been a mixed blessing – especially for women in the American culture. Age is something...
