Cozumel Day 2

A fine day had by all. Some lazing around, some swimming. Part of the gang hits the grocery store for the big run. While they’re out I teach Colt 5-Card Draw. Every boy should have this skill—and every girl, too, so we’ll teach Kayla. Grandda comes out and we switch to 7-Card Stud. When the … Continue reading Cozumel Day 2 →

Cozumel – Day 1

We take off for Mexico on a wonderfully clear day. Always a relief for me when flying. On this trip, we’re eight. BW, me, Jason, Kat, and all the grandkids—Kayla, Logan, Colt, Griffin. It’s not only Colt’s first trip out of the country, but his first plane ride. He handled it more than well. At … Continue reading Cozumel – Day 1 →

Some updates & reading recs

Mark your calendars! Nora’s travelogues start promptly tomorrow (Monday, July 3) morning. Stay tuned for the adventure. Since it’s prime summer reading time in the Northern Hemipshere and snuggle-up by-the-fire reading time in the Southern, I thought I’d share what I’ve read recently. First up, as to be expected, are Nora’s next three books. To … Continue reading Some updates & reading recs →

Fall into the story behind Inheritance

Note from Laura: Just as she did before the Chronicles of the One, Nora’s written a letter to explain the direction of her next trilogy: The Lost Bride Trilogy. I think you’re going to love this next adventure Dear Readers, When I think of hauntings, I first think of my maternal grandmother. I suppose this … Continue reading Fall into the story behind Inheritance →

Sunday in June

BW’s been off to the beach with pals this week, and I’ve tried to make the most of the quiet house—and no cooking. Good, solid writing days—a few interruptions for other business, other duties, but a good, solid week. That left the weekend to catch up a bit with domestic chores. Weeding, deadheading, watering, laundry—and … Continue reading Sunday in June →

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

And we did! Our annual spa week just keeps getting better. And this year, the fabulous weather only added a great big plus. It’s such a gift to have real time to hang out with pals, to catch up, relax, laugh, enjoy each other’s company and as much quiet time as you like. How much … Continue reading Girls Just Wanna Have Fun →

Identity discussion spot

Does summer (or winter if you live in the Southern Hemisphere) start when Nora’s standalone hits shelves? (I personally think so.) Well, you can consider the season officially changed as Identity is on sale today. I read it a long time ago, but can clearly remember all the twists, turns and fun of reading about … Continue reading Identity discussion spot →

Blooming May

I’m back on my feet—a little shaky, but back—after a nasty bout with vertigo. Hit Thursday morning, and knocked me flat. I had to miss our Girls Night Out as my world was spinning. Felt like crap Friday, but at least I could sit up. Slow but steady progress, and my first sloooow walk around … Continue reading Blooming May →

I’m Getting Those F’ing Wings!!!

And I did, but that’s for later. Derby time! Smooth flight down—yay!—on Thursday, with our delightful cop, Justin, and equally delightful escort, Anne, picking us up for the ride into Louisville. Time for lunch, and yum, before it’s off to the hotel to unpack and decompress, then dude it up some for Club Night. Happily … Continue reading I’m Getting Those F’ing Wings!!! →

Welcome Spring!

First, it’s been a very long gap on the blog due to reasons. But we’re back! There’s been a whole bunch going on in the last week or so, and I hope you’ll read the previous blog and consider a donation to EveryLibrary Institute, an organization that fights book banning and library defunding. I can’t … Continue reading Welcome Spring! →
