Girls, Games & Griffin

Another Girl Spa Week in the bag! We missed Laura, who ditched us to attend her son’s wedding. Of all the nerve! And Pat who’s in the process of moving. But the rest of us had a very fine time.

Book Notes

Greetings from the Cranky Publicist desk. And Happy Mother’s Day to everyone who’s a mother of the heart in any way, shape or form.

Abandoned in Death Teasers

I apologize for the delayed teasers this go round. Life has been spinning fast for me since December 1, culminating in hip surgery 5 days ago. To make it up to you, I offer a bunch of teasers in one shot. As always, these are little Easter eggs (to borrow a film term) you’ll find … Continue reading Abandoned in Death Teasers →

Quick Update

Just letting everyone know Laura had her hip replacement surgery this morning. It all went very well, and she’s already home. She’s already done steps, and is ready to start PT. You can’t keep a Cranky Publicist down for long! Nora
