My husband turned 63 in June. I never think of myself as old unless I happen to pass by one of the many broken mirrors in our house. They used to be unbroken. Not that they’re cracked or chipped. Not that the silver has peeled off of the back from age. But, they just don’t work right any longer. My reflection has become someone else’s and so I need to either replace them all, again, or just do away with the blasted things completely. ...

She informed me about an event which was intended to promote authors and their works to librarians in the King County Library System (KCLS). Mary invited me to this event and described it as a Librarian/Author Speed-dating Event. Right away I was hooked. The event, sponsored by the Greater Seattle Romance Writers of America of which I am a ...

The air feels crisp and smells of pine and nearby wood burning in fireplaces. My lavender oolong tea and a dry rice cake sit on a piece of marble on the ottoman near my legs and waits for me to stop working, a promised break. A cat is yowling in the background and a ...

Joshua Graham happens to be one of the best writers I've read in a long time. The author of the very popular novel, BEYOND JUSTICE, his writing is beyond reproach. Luckily, for me, we now have a radio show! We air Thursdays for an hour at 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. Our hope is to bring new voices & old to the show to talk about writing and the publishing industry and all its amazing changes. With the advent ...

In fact, I want to go back a week and spend another entire seven days off cleaning, organizing cupboards, and baking... all that stuff we do on vacations at home. And, I’ve missed my home so much this past spring and summer. Since the book tour began for the Bobby’s Diner Series last May, I’ve spent little time enjoying the summer. Book tours keep touring authors on their toes and, well, basically, it’s the exact same thing as being a ...

I was pleased to see that Dish had updated its listing and there were a few, new unwatched (by me, anyway) flicks to choose from. I chose “City Island” starring Andy Garcia as a down-trodden jailer and wannabe actor. Mr. Garcia’s co-stars included Julianna Margulies and Alan Arkin, to name three. City Island tells a ...
