Real Reader Review of Robyn Carr’s Hidden Summit

Happy Wednesday and welcome to a little something I call Real Reader Reviews. I totally made that up myself, but I love the idea of seeking out real readers to do reviews. When this one came across ENALR’s virtual desk, our regular (professional) reviewers were chock-full of commitments, so I thought it was a perfect opportunity to try [...]

Healthy Is As Healthy Does

Well, everyone around here is well aware that I’m on Weight Watchers. Very aware. And not because I’m eating rice cakes or drinking enough water to make my eye balls float, but because for the first few weeks I was cranky. Noticebly cranky (which was not helped by the fact the monthy bill also came) [...]

Mid-Week Update with Liz Talley

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite segments on Saturday Night Live is Weekend Update, where they take actual news happenings and do a funny spin on them. Yes, they are inappropriate and sometimes insulting, but they never miss on being funny. Here lately I fall asleep because by Saturday night, I’m usually [...]

Writing About the Modern Family

I’m sure if you haven’t watched ABC’s Modern Family, you’ve at least heard of it. Over the past few years, it has been racking up Emmy Awards for best comedy along with best actors and actresses in a comedy series. If for some reason you’ve not watched or heard of it, here’s a brief run-down: [...]

What Makes You Buy a Book?

This is it. The question all authors want to know. Why do you buy one book as opposed to another? Should be a simple question, right? But it’s not. At least not that I can see. I have five books sitting out there on the shelf. Okay, only one and that’s only if Books-a-million or [...]

A Little Work, A Little Play

Well, I dropped by to see who was blogging this morning and found out….it’s me! How did two weeks fly by so quickly? Jeez, I’m losing time the older I get. Anyone with me here? Thankfully, this past weekend I had a great adventure with a Plotting Retreat. What’s that, you may ask? Well, it’s [...]

Feeling Young Again

You think this post is about something miraculous, don’t you? Like Juviderm or Botox. Or maybe a little nip, tuck and lots of Red Bull and vodka. Not really, though some of those things have crossed my mind. Things are sagging, people. It’s more along the lines of reading Young Adult books which I’ve been [...]

Finding Treasure in Someone’s Trash

First off, Happy Birthday, Mom! Yes, it’s my mother’s birthday today, and we must all pause and wish Mean Jane a fantastic day! Okay, so, I’m getting ready for a garage sale. Ah, the garage sale. Finding treasure in someone else’s trash. And since I moved, I’ve got mondo trash, ahem, unwanted items.  I haven’t [...]
