Well, I Just Had the Surprise Birthday of The Century…And Wedding Anniversary…and Birthday Present, and…
You might know my husband Mark a little through my chatter here on the blog, and from meeting him at conferences. He attends all the conferences I attend, and likes to party hard and have a very good time. I usually have to pry him away from the hotel at the end of the conference [...]

3:03AM is when I hit “send”.
I am so sleep deprived right now the letters on the screen keep jumping around, and I have to stop and focus to get them to line up.
The title I put on the book was so bad I’m not even going to announce it publically because I know that Ellora’s [...]
Postcards From The Edge – My Ever-Lovin’s Match Last Night.
So Mark’s on the road this weekend, and you might get postcards from yours saying “here’s where we had lunch looking out over the Great Falls, honey!”
