Book to Screen – My Picks

Posted on February 8, 2023February 8, 2023

I’m one of those readers who will devour my favorite authors’ new titles as soon as I can get my hands on them. I’ve printed reading lists to keep track of where I am in their series. (Some of my favorites are so prolific! I can’t keep up.) But I also love discovering new authors,…

It’s deja vu all over again

Posted on February 17, 2020October 16, 2021

  It’s been a bit more than a decade since I finished and sold my first full-length novel (romantic suspense Surrender to Sanctuary). It was a shock to me at the time that anyone would want to publish it (it’s a bit on the kinky side)! But I was lucky, and thus started my career…

Dear gods of technology, back off!

Posted on September 23, 2016August 26, 2021

  I took today off from my regular job so I could get some things done — Run to the post office (which isn’t open during hours that any working person can conveniently get to); Have lunch with hubby (who also took the day off); Clean my office (“clean” being open to interpretation); and Make…

And spring comes at last

Posted on April 24, 2016October 16, 2021

I don’t spend much time outside — too many writerly things to do on the weekend — but I was walking outside the other day (at the day job) and realized I was no longer wearing the heavy winter parka, gloves on my hands and scarf wrapped around half my head. In fact, I’d pared…

Is it spring yet?

Posted on March 6, 2016March 6, 2016

I’m not sure when I became such a wimp about winter weather. It might have been the year when my kids were in grade school and we had 14 ice storms over the course of one winter. (We lived in New Jersey at the time, the land of the “wintery mix” one day, and a…

Day 13 – Are you grateful for what you have?

Posted on January 13, 2016August 27, 2021

  I’m starting to really dislike this book. Today’s message is about awakening the gratitude in your heart for your many blessings. That’s not what’s causing the downward spiral of my enjoyment of the book. That’s a wonderful message, one I try to adhere to. What’s bothering me is my impression that the author was…

Day 12 – How poor is poor?

Posted on January 12, 2016August 27, 2021

  I’m a little annoyed with the Jan. 12 message in “Simple Abundance,” starting with the title “There is No Scarcity.” The gist is that we shouldn’t worry about money…our financial status ebbs and flows, and “You have the power to change your lifestyle and move from a feeling of lack and deprivation to a…

Day 11 – Smile, would ya?

Posted on January 11, 2016October 7, 2022

Sarah Ban Breathnach invites readers to join the optimists’ club in her Jan. 11 reading. She says we all face down-turns in life — whether financial or with health or relationships — and the key to surviving is optimism. She says it’s a learned habit, and her homework for the day is to “Smile at…

OH in the Newsroom: There’s a lady in the lobby with an ugly sweet potato.

Posted on February 1, 2015June 9, 2022

This blog was originally posted on Tea & Strumpets, Oct. 2014. My most memorable moments in the newsroom often happen when I get a call from the receptionist that someone is in the lobby asking to speak to a reporter. Often it’s about “the story of the century,” and if we don’t want it, that…

Christmas Dance – Temptation

Posted on December 23, 2014December 23, 2014

Temptation– it’s been the bane of humankind’s existence since…well, since Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit of the tree of life. I think it’s coded into human nature to want something you can’t/shouldn’t have. Alexandra and Sam are no different. In fact, they’re facing the perfect storm of temptation: A husband and wife…
