Sexy Song Saturday!

posted in: Blog | 0

I was driving earlier in the week (as I do), when Bruce Springsteen’s I’m on Fire came on. No doubt about it, it is a damned sexy song. Or at least I think so. The pull of his voice, the longing, the utter desire in the lyrics and the background hum and the beat of […]

Creativity in “tri-life”

posted in: Blog, creativity | 0

I’m not old, but I’m certainly not young. Not quite middle-aged, but not a sprightly teen. I’m about a third of the way through this life (if I’m lucky), so let’s call what I’m in now my “tri-life.” (And if thoughts of Second Life come to mind, just ignore them; I barely have enough time to keep […]

My Debut Cover!

Okay, deep breath. Now, say it with me: SQUEEEEEEEEEE The cover for my debut novel, DEEP AUTUMN HEAT is here, and all I can say is my goodness, it is smoking hot. Sue Grimshaw and the art department at Random House just did a bang-up job. They captured everything perfectly – Sebastian Grayson, his motorcycle, and Star […]

My Funny Valentine – Beginnings

posted in: Blog | 0

So I have a few traditions for Valentine’s Day. I’m not one to save all of my professions of love up for one day – I like to spread them out throughout the year – but I usually write Mr. Barrett some love prose and on some occasions, I’ve sung a love song (usually a jazz standard) to […]

Occupy Kindergarten!

All right, so a few weeks ago, I blogged about how folks around here get psychotic (my word) about kindergarten enrollment. I promised I’d report back with an update as to what Mr. Barrett and I decided to do. (Short version): Mr. Barrett was 30th in line and so we are assured of our desired early start […]
