Kiss Me, My Darling
I love old movies, especially those from the 30's and 40's. Because special effects were not used as much you had to rely on dialogue, and good acting to carry the story. Movies with legendary couples: Hepburn and Tracy, Bogart and Bacall, Gable and Lombard. Absolute gems.
Youngest told me the other day he loves old movies too, but his idea for old is anything in the late 70's, early 80's. I hit him over the head.
Okay, I didn't really, but I wanted to....
My ultimate all-time favorite is 'Gone...

Manic Monday - Am I Crazy or What?
Yup. I've lost it. I'm participating in the National November Writing Month, #NaNo for short, or NaNoWriMo for more erudite folk. I'll be finishing up Man of Her Dreams (not sure if should add that to my word count or not....) and then I'm puttin' the hammer down on Craven Desires.Love that story, but the characters are so interwoven, my inner editor always makes me stop. That's why I decided to do

National Cat Day
Can I tell you a secret?
....I don't really like dogs. I know, I know. Almost everyone I am acquainted with has one, or two and sometimes three, but...they're just not me. I AM a cat person, always have been. I broke down once under peer pressure, when I was twenty, and got a miniature husky. I called him Digger.
If you're my age, you would remember 'Digger the Dog' commercial theme song.
Digger the DogDigger he goes with youWhen you exploreJust pull his leashGo for a walkHe's your dog, for sure...

Today's View
I'm working on the last two chapters of my book, Man of Her Dreams (yay). By tomorrow I shall finally type THE END. This has been a labour of love. You'd think the weather would co-operate with my genial mood, but alas, we have rain in Southwestern Ontario. Everything seems gray and depressed. But, there is a bright spot. I'm not going to be soaked to the skin like my neighbour who just went out for a run.

Y'ALL or YA'LL?
We had this discussion a few years ago at an Author/Reader event I attended, and everybody had a different opinion. So here's my question. When writing a southern character, would you write 'y'all' or would you show it as 'ya'll'?
Don't even try to get into the ya'll y'all - double call... My head will split.

Sunday Snippet
Welcome. For those of you who are Canadian, like me, Happy Thanksgiving. May we be truly thankful for everything we have, big and small.
Onto my snippet from my WIP ~ Man of Her Dreams.
Lindsay overheard a conversation and knows that Jared read a page from her notebook. The page that had a detailed list of the perfect man. The list had been created after one too many bad dates, and one too many glasses of wine shared with her BFF. The two of them decided they needed to write down what Lindsay w...
