I had lunch the other day with an author friend who is completely hooked on The Hobbit. I have always been obsessed with The Lord of the Rings since I read it in high school. I used to read the book about once a year until the movies came out. Now I have an annual […]

Tax season. Ugh. Well, I’ve been a good girl and got mine done in a sweat-soaked, brain-haze-inducing ten days of concentrated spread-sheet meditation. I lost four pounds in the effort and now I’ve come up for air and discovered: “Fantastically Written Romantic Suspense” A five star review on Amazon for Dead Again — very nice.

It might have been a nice birthday for Hugo, had the 85th Oscars played out just a little differently a few days ago, but Argo beat Les Miserable out for best picture, instead.

Attack Your Day!: Before It Attacks You Mark Woods, Trapper Woods Remember DayTimers? And DayRunner? I used to be addicted to them. The anal combination

Okay, so I got an Android Tablet for Christmas (Asus Infinity, love you, Mark), and finally realized that while cellphone reading is sooooo convenient (it is!), there is something lovely about that full screen, with a laid-out page and actual images embedded where they’re supposed to go. I never got the hang of hauling around

This should probably be considered the national day for romance readers. It features two of the crucial ingredients any self-respecting romance lover considers essential: love and chocolate. Which reminds me of the first and original RomantiCon convention I went to. There was a chocolate smorgasboard (yes, you read that right). One buffet of chocolate and

Romantic Suspense Heroes – Why Are They Always In Uniform? I noticed this trend when I was writing the RS series a few weeks ago. I was trying to sort out in my own mind all the different sub-categories of RS and found it easier to try and classify them via the occupation of the
