  • More Romantic Rides and Reads.

    Last week, I posted one of the hubs photos of the Houston Livestock Show Skyride. Then I saw this one and fell for it, too. It draws the eye into the story, hopefully like a good book draws you into that story. The hubs forms his Flickr sets into a picture story, inviting you to…

  • Romantic Rides and Reads

    I love browsing the hubs’ Flickr page for fun “Scenic Route” photos to share for my Thursday meme. I think he has a great eye for a great shot. If you check in here at all, then you know I love romance and the romantic potential is this shot just grabbed me. It kind of…

  • The Summer of My Reunion O.O

    So, this month I will be attending my [deep breath here] 40th high school reunion. It’s not like I didn’t know I’m old as dirt. I know my age. But I hadn’t done the math on how long I’d been out of high school, so it was kind of a shock when the email showed…

  • Bass-ically, We’re Cool. With a Giveaway. 🙂

    I’m changing things up a bit for the summer. As I previously mentioned, I’m going to dial back the blogging to twice a week as The Grandma Project takes front and center. I still want to do my “Scenic Route” posts with the hubs photos, but my “Wishing for a Wormhole” meme will be on hiatus until…

  • Take Me to the Moon

    I was browsing through Amazon seeing if I could find a copy of Dr. Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh for less than $250—hey, don’t judge, he’s really cute when he’s not sporting the scarecrow getup—when I ran across another blast-from-the-past-movie called Moon Pilot. I couldn’t afford Dr. Syn, so I went for Moon Pilot,…

  • What is it about the water?

    Now that the hubs’ computer is back up and running, and he is posting his awesome photos again, I popped over to browse his Flickr page and found this shot. I don’t know why, but I love walking along a pier. When we first moved to New Orleans, I just couldn’t get over all the…

  • A Shocking Secret is Revealed…

    I’ve decided it is time to reveal my most shocking secret. Well, not exactly a secret if you’ve read my books. But I know when I tell people that my books have romance in them, there are assumptions made. So here goes. There is no sex in my novels. There is some romantic tension, but…

  • Something Happened on the Way to My Fictional Murder

    I’ve spent the last week plotting fictional murder. And me a newly minted grandma. I should feel shame. Instead, I’m frustrated. It’s not as easy as you’d think it would be to kill off a character, even one created to be a red shirt (victim). In theory, you know all the relevant stuff, though I’ll…

  • Say It Isn’t So!

    Yup, today is the official start of the 2013 Hurricane season. (You have to put the year in or some people won’t know which hurricane season you’re talking about.) I blogged about preparing for the season on Monday, but today let’s talk names. I popped open the names list for the year and I have…

  • Have You Started Your Hurricane Prep?

    May 15th is the official start of hurricane season down here along the coast. Storms can and do start in May, but for Texas, May 15th is usually the start of hurricane preparation season. There are a lot of ways to advance prepare for a hurricane. Okay, maybe not a lot, but there are few:…
