Scott’s Page
So, I added a page here at my blog for my brother, Scott Cunningham. If you have photos of yourself with him, or have something you'd like to say about him, please feel free to leave a comment or email me a jpeg of the photo. Here's the link to the page... HERE....
Writer Wednesday – Meet Laura Drake
Laura Drake is a fabulous author who is leaving So Cal for Texas. (WHY? One of those totally unanswerable questions, lol.) Those of us here will miss her terribly, but wish her bon voyage. The Bio Laura Drake is a city girl who never grew out of her tomboy ways, or...
The Weight of Memories
San Diego I visited my dad on Saturday. Our visits tend to be short - not because we run out of things to say to each other (two writers talking? Never short of words!) but rather that he gets tired and I'm way sensitive to it, even when he'd rather I wasn't. At...
Back to the Barre – January
It's a slow journey. This month started out well - the first two weeks, I only took Monday off. The next two weeks were intermittent - sickness in the house. Nothing major for me except weariness and a determination to sleep as long as I could. Difficult when I...
Writer Wednesday – Meet Nikki Prince and Swagger
Today I have the FABULOUS Nikki Prince on my blog. She and I became Facebook friends, then met at the Orange County Chapter of Romance Writers of America - and it's been a love-fest ever since. Sit back, and get to know the woman behind the books. The Interview CA:...
Where’s the “Slow Me Down” Button?
Every January for the last couple of years, it seems that I speed up. Weekends are gone in writer's meetings or trips to San Diego to see my dad. Weekdays are filled with the Day Job and writing and cooking and nagging the kids (I say kids, but they're both in...
Writer Wednesday – Robin Bielman and Samanthe Beck
These two authors are, I'm proud to say, a part of my Los Angeles Romance Authors chapter of Romance Writers of America. I'm also proud to say that before they sold, I had partnered them each with a mentor; and both, within a year or so, had sold their first novel....
Woo Your Own Heart
I wrote this for the January, 2014 LARA Confidential Newsletter, and I liked it so much, I decided to put it up here with a few changes because I always change my work. So, It’s 2014. January. A brand new year. Here we all are, still full of hope that THIS year,...
Two Musts for a New Year’s Eve Party
If you're going to a New Year's Eve party this year, be a sweetie and bring two important things that every hostess needs. First, a yummy appetizer that doesn't need reheating; second, a couple bottles (one champagne, one not champagne). The Appetizer This is one...
Back to the Barre, Week 2
...two steps back... My body isn't happy with me. Oh, it doesn't care that it's 6:15 am and I'm headed to the gym; no, it's more that I haven't been to the gym (and more importantly, done the stretching or the ballet work) for three days so far. Last week? 6 out of...
