Okay, I’ve finally caught up with my fave series that I taped while I was off on my travels.  I’ll only touch on two today—the two with the most going on.  And, boy, is it ever.
First on LOST:  Finally, scenes with Jack and Kate in the future.  But of course, just when it looks like […]

Last week I asked Deb Baker to post for me since I was arriving in Northern Virginia late to visit old friends for several days before the Malice Domestic mystery conference in Arlington, VA.  Arlington in my hometown, where I grew up.  Just a stone’s throw across the Potomac River.  And the old friends I […]

Hey, folks—-Since I’m traveling today, I invited Berkley Prime Crime and Midnight Ink mystery author Deb Baker to be the Guest Author for my Tuesday spot this week.  I’ve read her contribution and it’s great!  I can’t wait to see what responses she’ll hear from you guys. 

Okay. . .I spent the whole weekend finishing my income taxes, and they’re finally done.  It was late Sunday evening by the time I finished the Federal taxes and forms.  Since I was tired, I decided to do the simpler Colorado state tax form this morning.  That way I could drop them in the mail […]

Tonight’s post will be short.  It’s nearly midnight and I just piciked up youngest daughter Maria from Denver airprot and once back in Fort Collins, we decided to have a light and yummy dinner at a new cafe and wine bar in town.   Monday night, and the place was nearly full.  Saturday night, the place […]

Well, I’m back at my laptop writing away on my current mystery-in-progress, after spending a wonderful long weekend with daughter Serena who was visiting from Texas.  Serena bought her first house last spring and has been out of town a lot (she’s a NASA flight surgeon), so the decorating has been going slowly.  When I […]

Okay, the Hollywood Writers’ Strike is over.  And I know it takes time to get new episodes of our favorite tv shows “in the can” as they say.  But, now I’m wondering if some of my favorites will appear at all.
Thankfully, “LOST” on ABC reappeared and started teasing us and answering questions at the same […]

Boy, this has been a weird winter.  Enjoyable, so far, to be sure.  But the scattered schedule that I’ve had since the beginning of January has taken its toll on my writing schedule. 
I’ve traveled several times since the beginning of January.  Sometimes it was just a few days, other times like these last two mystery […]

Beware, folks.  That nasty flu bug is everywhere.  And it is a nastier one than usual.  Usually when we pick up one of the those winter viruses, it’s a head cold, some cough, maybe a sore throat—or if we’re really unlucky—nausea and vomiting.  Double yuck.
Unpleasant, nasty, and usually only makes us uncomfortable for two or […]

Hey, folks.  I’m presently in sunny and very warm (80’s) Florida.  Fort Lauderdale, to be exact, at the mystery conference Sleuthfest.  I’m here with fellow Berkley Prime Crime mystery author, Deb Baker.  Right now, I’m sitting around the pool (in the sade) checking email before the next workshop.  I know—-hardship duty.
After this conference and we […]
