7 Things I Want My Girls to Know About Sex

My beautiful daughters, as much as I don’t want to think of you having sex, I also know someday you will. Someday you will meet a person who makes you feel beautiful and special and loved. And someday you will want to share your body with this person, and let that person share their own body. I know it is […]

Does Size Matter?

Last night I watched a documentary on Netflix – a “cockumentary,” if you will – in which Patrick Moote asks the question “Does size matter?” You may remember Patrick as the dude who asked his girlfriend to marry him at a UCLA game via Jumbo-tron and she said no. Because, according to her, he had […]

Mommy Wars – What Are They Good For?

It’s been a while since I had small kids – my youngest is about to turn 11 – so I’ll admit that those crazy sleepless nights and crazier exhausted days are more or less a blur at this point, but reading some of the Mommy Blogs out there, I can’t help but wonder: Did I […]

Behind Every Good Writer Is An Even Better Editor

I read a book recently – because I promised someone I would review it for them – and now I’m kind of kicking myself for making any such promise. This book was, okay, it was bad. Bad, people. Like I-would’ve-rather-slit-my-own-throat-than-keep-going bad. And the thing that kills me is it had so much potential. Developed characters, […]

Letting Go

My father is dying. I say this without hope for a “miracle” that somehow he will be spared, because I know we’ve already gotten our miracle. And I’m okay with that. A couple years ago he was diagnosed with some rare form of blood cancer, I don’t know the name of it and it doesn’t […]

My Skinny Girl Problems: The Photo Shoot

I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what to say about this photo shoot other than it was a hell of a roller coaster ride, emotionally. My oldest daughter helped me do my makeup for it, including false eye lashes, which I’d never worn before, and enough of a smoky eye that I almost didn’t […]

  Hang on a minute, friends, while I haul out my soapbox, cause I am stepping up on it. This morning I read an article - My Husband Doesn’t Need to See Your Boobs - that was so crazy I just have to respond.  If you haven’t read it, take a moment to click the link […]

#MyWritingProcess Blog Tour

This blog post came out of an invitation from Kathryn Orzech, Suspense & Thriller Author, who sent me an email asking if I wanted to join her and many other authors in a blog tour about the process of writing. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to not only read how others approach their craft, but […]

Sex on Wheels

  I have this idea - dream, really – of going into physical rehab centers and VA hospitals and talking to the (mostly) men there about sex after disability. It’s one of those ideas that kinda scares the crap out of me, which means I probably ought to do it. But for a really long time, despite wanting […]
