Music
Thanks to everyone for all the music suggestions. Darla told me that she's had quite a few suggestions and that they are a very, varied group of suggestions. Sometime this week she'll forward them to Jon, and he'll go through them, and discuss them with me. His taste in music has always been eclectic, and he's more likely to know who everyone is talking about. When Jon and I were dating, turning on the CD player in his truck was always an interesting experience. I never knew if I was going to get the original Andrew Sisters, or black… Read More

Penguin mugs and imaginary friends
I know I'm in the groove today, because . . . I was searching in the cabinet today for the mug I wanted to drink tea out of. I couldn't find it. I finally asked Jon and Darla to help me find it, then I realized something. I was searching for my baby penguin mug. I don't have a baby penguin mug. Anita has a baby penguin mug. I was searching for my character's favorite mug, not mine. She collects penguins, I don't. Moments like this used to creep me out, but no longer. I take it as a… Read More

Music for Micah
Driving myself nuts trying to find music to write to today. I'm actually doing a novelette where Micah and Anita go out of town. I need to know more about Micah, and one of the ways I've always done that is to throw the main character and the character I'm having trouble with into a situation and see what happens. Micah only came on the scene in book ten, and by that time there was so much back story with the other guys, that sometimes I feel like he just hasn't had enough time on stage. But, as with… Read More

Home?
Went home to visit family last weekend. For all of you who think a visit back home is a grand thing, congrats. Do you see yourself in the people who raised you? Do you talk to them and hear echoes of who you are, and who you were? Or do you look around at the people who raised you and realize that they never knew or understood you, nor you them. That you were always a stranger in a strange land, and time has not changed that. My visit to my childhood home has left me not knowing what… Read More

A few days away
We're back from our mini-vacation. Four days in Florida. Jonathon and I realized we had only a few days before the next book would need to be started, or real life would interfere. So away we went. It was colder in Florida than it was here in St. Louis while we were gone. We were very glad we'd dressed in layers to get us to the airport, because we wore all those layers while in Florida. The biggest selling item of clothes there was sweatshirts, because everyone else had bought only shorts. We saw some very cold looking tourists.… Read More
