A Night In The Life…

Took the gremlins to see Zorro last night. I won’t bore you with a crit of the movie, but I will share one thing. *sigh* Antonio. It’s just so not fair that men get better and better looking as they age. I could sit and listen to his accent all day and never tire of it. Of course, Gremlin #1 (who is 6) said, “Ew! Mommy has a crush on Zorro!” *sigh, again* Yes, dear. She does. The DH just rolled his eyes and shook his head. (And didn’t say a thing because he got to watch Catherine Zeta-Jones in … Read more »

Agents must be pushing through their submissions in anticipation of the holiday down time. After not hearing anything for months, I’ve received three rejections in as many days (on queries and partials). Still no word on the plethora of fulls I have out circulating, but there’s always tomorrow *wink, wink*. And I never got around to checking my mail today, so there still could be a R waiting out there for me as I type.

I have this little rule that when I get a R, I should send out 5 more queries. Hmmm…that’s 15 queries that *technically* should … Read more »

I’ve Been Found Out!

Yes, it’s me. And I’m on the lam.

I’ve been slack the past few days, and now that my secret’s out, I must confess. I’ve (apparantly) been hiking through the cold and frosty mountains of Tibet with one uber-sexy goat herder, Lhak-mi (and boy does he. Whew!). Last I was told though, his very pregnant wife, Lhak-u, has discovered our secret affair and is now on the war path. Alas, I must disappear again before she discovers our whereabouts.

I suppose a wise choice would be to slip back into the Keys and find out what my heroine has in … Read more »

I am just a crazy-blogging fool tonight.

My fabulously talented friend has launched her own company. If you have young kids (like me), check out Growables. Great clothes that last forever.

Contests

Think contests are all that?

Check out Miss Snark’s “Backside of Contests”.

Kinda makes you all aflutter to enter a contest, eh?

Update

“Well?” Coffee mug halfway to her lips, Maren Hudson pauses and looks up as the petite redhead slides into a chair across the table.

Lisa Maxwell frowns and pins her with a look. “You aren’t supposed to be drinking coffee.”

“It’s half regular, half decaf. I’m allowed one per day. And stop nagging. Just tell me how it’s going. I’m on pins and needles here.”

“You’re supposed to be off charming agents and editors.”

“I am. Now get on with it.”

Lisa glances around the busy coffee house. A cute blond at the counter flashes her an alluring grin. Now … Read more »

I blame Linda for the quizzes.

However, this is oddly appropriate because of the WIP:
