It was wonderful to meet so many of you at the convention! What a terrific time. I can’t even begin to recap it and do it justice, so I’m going to let some other bloggers do it for me.

Meet Lyra, my Faerie Princess Writing Bear. :o)
On Saturday, my youngest son and I had a “Matthew & Mommy” day where we did whatever he wanted. He insisted I needed a writing bear. So we went to Build-a-Bear and here’s Lyra. I named her that for two reasons–one, Lyra is the hero in my novel […]

Taking time to chill
April 8, 2008; 11:45 am
I reached my 4/1 deadline. Yay! But I have 5 single-spaced pages of things I need to go back and fix during revisions, like more character development. Boo! I put the 5 pages at the end of the manuscript and told my editor to promise not to read those pages before she had a clean […]

Out of control but hanging on
March 11, 2008; 1:21 pm
I feel sometimes like my life is careening out of control these days. Maybe it’s the deadlines. Yeah, it’s the deadlines. :o) I know other authors are in the same boat, but some handle it better and with more grace than others.
I had a book due 3/1–made that deadline (phew). Now I have 60-70K to […] -

February 20, 2008; 9:45 am
Last week, when I asked what you enjoy reading on blogs, one of the most popular answers was “excerpts.” Well, cool, I have excerpts! I’m going to start this week with FORBIDDEN MAGIC, the first book in the “Magic” series.
Some have asked me how the “Magic” series came about. In the summer of 2004, an editor […] -

Meet Magic & Charm
February 5, 2008; 8:08 pm
We’re adopting 2 kitties from an animal shelter here in Arizona. I had to share:
I was just going to adopt one kitten and then the lady showed me these two and they were the only kittens in the litter and have never been separated. I couldn’t tear them apart!
These will be my new writing buddies. :o) -

Vacation brain
January 15, 2008; 12:08 pm
It’s been a long time since my family went on a “real” vacation. Like 7 years ago. Oh, we went on outings and weekends, but not a long get-away-from-everything vacation.
We just got back Thursday (11:59 a.m. they said–give me a break, it was Friday) from our first ever trip to Hawaii. We were gone for 8 days […]
