Super Blogger Moi
So, even if I don’t add a lot of content to this site this month, I’ve been adding a certain amount of text gravitas to the World Wide Web in general. Need evidence? Check out this list of blogs I’ve been scribbling all over lately. (Many thanks to my publicist Kirk for facilitating the blog […]
Everyday Annoyingness
I just got my JCPenney mailer yesterday. It’s the new flashy, colorful one from the revamped JCPenny taken over by the former Apple executive. Cute stuff, but the models are all a LOT taller than I am so I have no sense of how any of that stuff would look on me. Oh, and it […]
What Writers Do in the Off-Season
Last week my husband said the three most magical words to me. Yeah, yeah. He said those too. But the other most magical words: “We need new carpet.” Who CARES if that’s four words. Yesssss! As if I haven’t been dropping hints about this since the DAY WE MOVED IN. This carpet was never my […]
Interview!
On Saturday I was in Utah for family things and Jolly Fish Press’s super fun staff snagged me and brought me in to the Provo Library after hours. We did an author interview they videoed and will be putting on the book’s website. Interview! The questions were fun, like what’s sumo all about, and what’s […]

The Great Indoors
So I’m sitting here on a leather recliner in the mountains in an air conditioned cabin that has a chandelier. No, really. A fancy one that could be at a posh hotel’s lobby in another life. The bathroom sinks have a swan motif on the faucet that echoes the swan motif on the light fixture. […]
Retreat!
I’m so excited! This week is the annual ANWA Writers Retreat in the cool country of the mountains of Arizona. This is my fourth year attending. We’re staying at a nice cabin, about 30 of us, shutting out the world and just writing. Last year I used the 3 days away from the responsibilities of home […]
It’s harder to watch movies than read books?
This year I took a challenge issued by my friend Heather to read 50 books and watch 50 movies in this calendar year and to blog reviews of all of them. It’s been a really fun blog to read–other people’s reads are always interesting. It’s kind of like peeking into someone’s mind, or behind their […]
Likening Housework unto Editing…and the Bacon Sundae
A few months ago I had the opportunity to go help someone clean her house while she was in the hospital. It had a regular level of dirt, but it was a breeze! My sister in law was helping me, and we both commented on how easy it was to whip through someone else’s house. […]
