A Quick Book Review: The Night Circus’s Magic
Last week I finished reading Erin Morgenstern’s first novel entitled THE NIGHT CIRUCS. I’m still thinking about it. So, if you’ve already read BENEATH THE MIMOSA TREE (wink wink, with a hint hint), you can move on to this one. It’s worth reading if you like dark magic and mystical settings. I’ve never been a [...]

BENEATH THE MIMOSA TREE Available for iPad…and more…at Smashwords
Just when you thought the marketing of my novel was over…now I’ve formatted it for the iPad and others. I’m still chugging along. Summer may be coming to an end, but I’m still attempting to get more readers. Perhaps you’re sick of reality TV and would love and hunker down with a contemporary romance… Michael’s [...]

On Writing Utter Crap
Last week I wrote a post about struggling with writer’s block. I’ve come to the conclusion that one only has writer’s block when one is writing crap. If the story were good and moving along and the characters had depth and juice, it would be difficult to blame the pause in writing on the story [...]

Published on Baseball Bard!
When looking through my recent print copy of Poets & Writers, I came across a call for poetry submissions for an online literary magazine called Baseball Bard. A little light bulb went off in my head, and I thought: Baseball. Poetry. Baseball. Poetry. Hmmmm…it’s a natural marriage of two things that have been important in [...]

Fall/Winter Wardrobe Checklist As We Continue Fashion Fridays
Today, I decided to post something helpful and useful for my readers for Fashion Friday. When my friend Currie and I were chatting at the pool, I asked her if she thought a wardrobe checklist would come in handy for building a functional fall/winter wardrobe.

Sharing (Beneath the Mimosa Tree) Is Caring
I wanted to take a moment to thank one of my supporters, Alli, who took and shared this gorgeous photograph yesterday at Greetings and Readings in Hunt Valley, Maryland. It warmed my heart that she cared enough for me to take this picture of my book on the shelves. I am so used to seeing [...]

It’s All In The Bag
Last week, I had a few moments to myself and I visited Nordstrom Rack in Annapolis. I ran in to look at some summer dresses. I purchased a couple of those, but one particular thing I came away with was the best surprise. But let me backtrack—I have a gorgeous Coach briefcase. You’re probably familiar [...]
