Legacy is on sale today! And here’s the place to discuss the book from start to finish. A reminder of the cover copy: Adrian Rizzo met her father for the first time when she was seven. It was the same day he nearly killed her mother, Lina. A decade later, Adrian is as cool-headed and … Continue reading Legacy discussion spot →

Girls, Games, Griffin and (Uninvited) Guests

Laura’s done a roundup of our Spa Girls Week, but I’ll fill in a few details before I continue the adventures of our last night. First, the house was all Laura said, and so perfect for our needs this year—though we SORELY missed our butlers. The weather struck me as more March than May the … Continue reading Girls, Games, Griffin and (Uninvited) Guests →

The adventures of a cranky publicist

Well dear readers, I won’t bury the lede: Elaine played a triple word score on the third play and never looked back. The final score was 323-235. My luck with letters vanished. The last four pulls from the bag gave me seven vowels. Elaine pretended sympathy, but I sensed her delight in finding her ground … Continue reading The adventures of a cranky publicist →

Breaking News (Or Has Hell Frozen)?

In an unexpected turn of events, the Cranky Publicist is a Scrabble finalist in the 2021 Spa Girls World Games, hosted (aka forced upon her) by Nora. “What can I say?” Shrugged the vivacious Cranky after scoring 168 in her semi-final match. “I was able to use a Y and J on triple word scores. … Continue reading Breaking News (Or Has Hell Frozen)? →

Grab Some Happy

I’m going to get on and off this part of the blog pretty quick. Laura’s been dealing with a surprising amount of negativity and–it must be said–rudeness–on the FB pages. A whole bunch of whining, complaining, even accusations. Just a world of negativity which I’ve certainly noticed has become so unfortunately prevalent over the last … Continue reading Grab Some Happy →

My Work

Is my work. My process, my time, my effort, my skill, my creativity. It is not, as I was told by a reader on the Robb Facebook page, a collaboration with the reader. The story is mine, and is not as this reader claims, owned by the reader once they read it. I spent this … Continue reading My Work →

Nothing Much Going On

Which is the reason I haven’t done many blogs over the last few months. I write, workout, cook. On the weekends, I clean and do more involved cooking, and often some baking. That’s pretty much how it goes. I was able to see Kayla over her spring break as she came home. And as she … Continue reading Nothing Much Going On →

And now, for something different

Every year the Nora Roberts Foundation awards a scholarship to a Boonsboro High School graduating senior whose higher education focus includes study of Journalism, Creative Writing, Communication, English, Education or related fields. Applicants write a short story or essay–any topic, any genre, anything at all. We all read the entries, discuss them, consider them, debate … Continue reading And now, for something different →

Zombie Ghosts

I’m assuming anyone reading this knows how to dispatch a zombie. It’s all about the head. I’m a big believer in confronting things head on. Every few months, the walking dead of intimating or outright stating I use ghostwriters shambles onto social media. And like a zombie it shuffles on, spreading. I’ve confronted this before—head … Continue reading Zombie Ghosts →
