The scene – my den, just before American Idol starts. Thanks to my superior spider seeking eyesight, I spot a spider trying to make a break for it across the ceiling molding.
Me: Zoo! Come kill the spider. And bring a chair. Because I know you’ll try to jump and grab [...]
Did you not realize that football would screw it up every single weekend, forcing me to stay up way later than I need to? Especially since DVRs are not smart enough to figure out that they need to tape 1/2 later in order not to cut off half the episode?
Seriously, someone needs to plan [...]
Sven yesterday: 1226 words + longhand synopsis (synopsis is hanging at about 1500 words)
Today, I got some light revisions for Chris’s book (Hold On Tight – book 3 in the SEAL trilogy) thumped against my door – I’ll be motoring fast on those and then all three of the SEAL books will go into copy [...]
Dear stupid bureaucracy-ish people I dealt with all day yesterday who sucked up all my time, energy and generally made me want to beat my head against the wall,
I know you’re lying. And trust me, I can confuse you far more easily than you can me. Just ask Larissa or my editor about [...]
Food. Poisoning.
Ugh. I knew the Indian food Zoo brought home last night was different. It wasn’t bad tasting, but I told him that I thought there was a new ownership. The chicken looked…not chicken-ish. Reminded my of the time, when we were still dating, of a particular dinner at his [...]

Vacation was great, but it’s so nice to be home. The bed in the house we rented was like sleeping on a board covered with foam. I missed my bed and my house. I’m such a homebody it’s not even funny – always have been – I love to nest.
Anyway, [...]
Hanna is hitting New York right about now…she passed by the Outer Banks earlier (aka my vacation spot)…we called about our rental house and power is all restored there. So it looks like we’ll be heading back down there to finish out our vacation. Which is good news.
Except the migraine is stopping me [...]
Yesterday’s conversation with Zoo:
Zoo: By the way, I think Gus ate a bumblebee today.
Me: *completely horrified* You think?
Zoo: It was pollenating on one of the bushes and Gus just went over and attacked it. And then it was gone, so yeah, he ate it. It was good to see his [...]
So I’m writing and writing and writing on the NEVER ENDING book that is Nick’s (TOO HOT TO HOLD) and I’m writing and writing these subplot heroines who are sisters and I just keep saying to myself, I know there’s something you’re not telling me…
And so I wrote and wrote and suddenly one of the [...]
