Hey everyone, I know I’ve been MIA for the past week and not around too much the week before that as well. And yes, life has been draining to say the least. Work, house hunting, (which equals some disappointment), and becoming the president of my local chapter. Oh yeah, better add in the family here [...]

I wanted to pass along this great opportunity! :) I’ll be working on my pitches for the next few weeks, trying to get them in under the 200 word limit. This has always been a really big struggle for me. I have no idea why. I know the book inside and out. I’ve read the thing [...]

Hubs shared a story from work with me the other night. Hubs is a welder. I often only know what about every 3rd word means. So I typically nod along, smile when he gets excited and so forth. But last night he told me a story where I understood every word and had me laughing [...]

There’s something special about royalty. Their lives seem to be so different from the lives we’re familiar with.

And they’re all really good-looking, sexy characters. But then, I realized that not many people read when it is my turn to [...]

“Memories….pressed between the pages of my mind.” Remember that old song? The version that always comes to mind for me is the Elvis version. Something about the song always makes me melacholy and yearn for those simplier times. It’s a good one for setting mood. Which brings to light the topic for today – mood. [...]

I often wonder just how much real life other authors put into their books. I had a writing friend ask me recently if my heroine was anything like me. At first I said no. That would mean she was extremely boring. LOL But after thinking about it for a while, I had to admit there [...]

Geez, is it Friday already? I live with a mini-tornado. It makes it so tough to keep a walkable floor. You see this?: And this?: Meet my mini-tornado: My little boy, who just turned two. I’m always amazed at the things he can do. Such as the two photos above. Believe it or not, his [...]

I think I have something about the passing of time. I love clocks. In our house when the children were growing up, the clocks were scattered all over the place and so nobody really got a clue of what a clock nut I am. When we moved to the condo where we have a penthouse [...]

I got to thinking about this swine flu stuff. I mean you have to – the media is freaking me out with it. So yesterday I start coughing and sneezing, and though my rational self says, “Amy, everything outside is blooming. It’s just allergies,” my irrational self wants to run to the computer, get online [...]
