The Genkan
My husband has been reading my novel BIG IN JAPAN this week. Bless his heart! What a good man I married. And I have to admit that every hero in every book I write is just a different incarnation of my good, good man. So, what’s been interesting as a bystander to his reading is […]
Post Office Frowny Face
I hate going to the post office. Have I ever mentioned that? It’s not that our local PO has a long line or is a long drive away or is an unattractive building. Just the opposite on all counts. It’s never more than a 7 minute wait. It’s a 5 minute drive. Easy parking right outside. […]
Library Meet and Greet
Last night was the monthly “Author Meet and Greet” at our local public library. A couple of months ago Joyce Wellbaum got in touch with me through another one of the “Friends of the Library” ladies who I ran into when I was in the gift shop after Preschool Storytime. (My youngest daughter and I […]
Upcoming Stufffffff
“Life moves pretty fast.” Name that 80s movie. I’ve got a ton of stuff going on too, and it’s making life speed up. I like things slow. On Saturday I’ll be in Mesa, AZ, at the Latter Day Cottage signing books from 10-2 for the WUFC Fundraiser to help raise money for Serena Freewomyn to pay […]
TKE in SLC: Best Case Scenario
Even after Friday night’s friends-and-family bash at the Barnes and Noble in Layton, I was still a nervous wreck about going to Salt Lake City for the signing at The King’s English. I’d seen pictures of the store and knew it was in a really, really cool bookstore–like the kind you see in a fabulous […]
F&F at B&N in Layton
So…I am updating the look of this website. I like doing this about as much as I like decorating my house: one on a scale of one to ten. What I *do* like doing is what happened on Friday night–a booksigning at a stores with completely fun staff (who liked my boots) and where cool people showed […]

Deseret News Reviews BIG IN JAPAN
The Deseret News, a Salt Lake City newspaper with a circulation of… a BUNCH, has reviewed BIG IN JAPAN. The review posted about 20 minutes ago. I’m all breathless. I’d heard there was a call for a review, and I knew the Deseret News’s policy of not letting anyone review a book if the reviewer […]
Tidings of Comfort and Joy from the Writers Conference
At the end of February I attended the annual ANWA Writers Conference in Mesa, a nice place to be in February. I think the agents from Denver and NYC were loving the weather, as was the editor from Utah. It was a balmy 68. Other good things happened there. One, I got to wear my *awesome* […]
