Six Sentence Sunday - Walking The Edge: Snippet #7

Hello beautiful people!

I cannot believe it's already Sunday. One week of school vacation down, another 2 to go - a good dose of awesome SSS snippets should help tide me through. :)

Wanted to say thanks to everyone who comes over - whether it's your first visit or you're a regular visitor - and a special, special thanks to all who leave me comments. You have no idea what your words mean to me.

So, last week I started an action sequence in the story.Gerard, the policeman hero, thinks Amelia has b...

Progress Friday

Mood - both mind and body = knackered! (and that pic is where I want to be!) The boys are home, playing video games as usual, and they made me sit with them to watch Clash of the Titans this morning. While the sight of both Sam Worthington and Liam Neeson should've made my day, it actually made me backlogged and when I finally got online to do some stuff, it was to find that there are technical problems on the network and Internet is running verrrrrryyyyy slow!

So other than waiting it out - t...

Link Thursday: Dating Tricks For Every Age

Hey peeps

Still down in my kid-induced lobotomised state. Today he's not talking that much - at least to me! - but his big brother is home and they've got the Playstation out. So the noise is not only deafening, but mind-numbing as well. Plus they keep egging each other on, and I have to break fights...

Soooo... not in the mood for anything other than a pint of Haagen-Dasz dunked down in front of some reruns of Gossip Girl or some other perfect chick flick. Or better yet, a chick lit book (if I...

Hey peeps

I'm in full throes of harried motherhood right now. Kiddo is on winter break, and since the weather is so dismal and awful here, we're stuck inside the house and all I get to hear is video game music or surround-sound TV noise.

And when you know my kid - mind, he's a good lad, just talks waaaaaayyyy too much! - you also know that within one hour of being with him, you're fit enough to book yourself for a lobotomy, stat.

Not in any position mentally to do anything but read and hope to u...

Six Sentence Sunday - Walking The Edge: Snippet #6

Hello beautiful people!

It's absolutely awful where I live today - dratty weather, lots of rain and wind, cold. Ick! But... it's the perfect weather to snuggle with a cup of hot chocolate and peruse the SSS snippets. So there you have the highlight of my day. :)

So, I posted about the dream Amelia has of her hunky French lover in the past 2 weeks. Today I'm gonna show you what happens when she does track down this man. His name is Gerard Besson, and he is a police commissioner in Marseille.
Gera...

Progress Friday--strikethat Saturday!

Hey peeps

Sorry I couldn't get round to posting yesterday. I'll tell you why - check the right-hand margin here. See the Book Trailer gadget? Guess what - I sat down and made the video for Walking The Edge 's trailer yesterday. And let me tell you that takes time! Yet, it's also exhilarating and a different kind of rush!

Check out the vid, and let me know what you think. :)

Other than that, I'll rinse and repeat once more - where on earth did the past week go? I barely got any work done. I just ...

Link Thursday: The Curse of the Just-OK Marriage

Hey peeps

Stumbled upon this article this week - a lot of us are in this boat, whether we're married, in committed relationships, or with a partner. Routine settles in; life just rolls along... and you wonder where the heck the spark is, where the heck is the person you signed up to be with, where the heck the person you were went AWOL!

And romance writers - why is it most romances end at "I love you, will you marry me?" Very few stories touch upon life after marriage... and we all know Real Li...

Tidbit Tuesday: Let's Chill With Some Tunes!

Hey peeps

Knackering day today. Appointments at the hospital = whole morning lost (though I did get to catch up on some reading there). Then had to get my son's glasses repaired, because he's broken the frame, again, for the third time in the 6 months he's been wearing them. And because a crazy-as-cannonball dog skidded and slammed into my car's front yesterday, crashing the turn-indicator, we had to go on a drive through a dozen spare parts shops to find the replacement. And then too, colour ...

Random Thoughts' Monday: Parenting is not easy

Over the past few weeks, my husband's been attending a special workshop related to his job, and that's on top of his usual working hours. He leaves before we leave for school in the morning, and he's back in the evenings just before the kiddo goes to bed. So for the most part, in the recent month or so, I've been the only parent around the house most of the time.

And suddenly I've got a whole new level of respect and admiration for single parents! Especially for those single parents who don't ...
