Jo Leigh’s Kidnapped!

When I finally realized my mental health would benefit from picking up a book and getting away for a while instead of trying to do everything, I picked up Kidnapped! by Jo Leigh. 
It was a really enjoyable read.  One of the things I love about category romance is that when you find an author who [...]

Interesting Bloggy Stuff

I’ve been reading a bunch of interesting things lately, and was thinking: hmmm, maybe I’ll post them.  Then I was thinking, damn, wish I’d been saving them all along. 
This led me off on a tangent about how Lynn Viehl has to be the most organized person on the planet.  She often posts lists of interesting and helpful [...]

The Seventy Days Goodie Box

You may remember that a few weeks ago I won the 70 Days drawing for a goodie box from Jo Leigh.  It came yesterday, but I’m just now getting a chance to get pictures uploaded and show it off.
It was a box packed with stuff- books, bath stuff, tea stuff, journal stuff.
There was a mug with a [...]

WOTM Update: Too Little Too Late

In a manner of speaking.  I only managed to write 453 words now that I finally got the chance to sit down by myself and do it, and it’s now after midnight and I don’t think I’m lucid enough to do more.
Basically my hero just reacted to finding out the heroine left town behind his [...]

WOTM Update: Big Sister Envy

I know, it’s been a few days.  I knew this week would be bad.  My daughter’s birthday is this weekend and I’ve got a bunch of stuff to do for that, and since I’ve invited people to my home, I’m generally more nervous than usual and so that doesn’t help my concentration on Matt and Alex’s [...]

I Know What You Are and I Know What You Did

ETA: After reading through the rest of my Blogroll I came back here and noticed that I typoed my title.  I meant, of course, “I know WHO you are…”  Didn’t I? 
A few day’s ago I found Joely Black’s blog, which I enjoy.  This morning I clicked over there and read this post in which she talked some about her [...]

Ew. Sex is Icky

The other day I was reading a friend’s blog and- I hope you’ll forgive the vagueness and lack of linkage- she was referencing some article she had read about how sad it was that grown-ups were reading Harry Potter.  Obviously, this is not an article I’m going to rush off and read.  But she read [...]

No Way!

The other day, Kettle pops up in the morning (she’s an hour behind me and I’m nearly always up first) and says: Hey, I won one of the gift baskets from PBW!!
I’m like: No way!
 I got up this morning and converted enough of last night’s notes to make up an acceptable total to report in [...]

WOTM Update: A Letter

First let me say that the blogosphere is kicking my ass.  There’s just a whole lot of good stuff to read right now.  Right now, when I’m supposed to be writing 900 words a day or else.  For one thing, this morning I went to Alison Kent’s blog and caught up on posts relating to [...]

What I Want in a Writer Blog

I’ve just spent some serious time perusing various author blogs looking for things I might like to read regularly.  In most cases I scanned not only the most recent post, but everything on the first page and sometimes the next one back, just to give it a fair shot.  And I found just one blog to [...]
