Blog, at last
I tried to write a blog today, but it ended up being seven pages long. So, it'll be my piece for the fan club newsletter, instead of a blog. It's been a very odd week. I'll blog about the weirdness after I've had time to think about it all, for now I'll just tell you what I've been doing work-wise. I finished Sharon Shinn's new manuscript that will be critiqued at tonight's writer's group meeting. Yes, one of the pluses to the writing group is getting to read stuff way early. I'm still making progress on Merry #7. Still… Read More

Enjoy
I've managed six pages today. Jon and I may have over done it on date night last night and I am way tired. But progress on the new Merry book, as tired as I feel, six pages is more than I thought I'd get today. Here's hoping after a good night's sleep that it doesn't read like I'm tired. It usually doesn't, but you never know. Those of you who went to the signing and Question and Answer session in St. Louis for A LICK OF FROST, know we had a friend tape it with our nifty, and much… Read More

Thanksgiving Re-Cap
So yesterday was Thanksgiving Day in the US. The official start of the "Holiday Season" here, and boy are my arms tired. No wait. Wrong line. Sorry. Any way. Thanksgiving, we spent with my family, over at my mom's place. Aunts, uncles, and cousins all gathering to eat my step-dad's turkey and dressing. Oh, and my bread. Yep, you read it right, my bread. I baked two loaves of bred for thanksgiving. No bread machine, only the counter top and a mixing bowl. I made Anadama bread, which is a molasses and corn meal bread. Both loaves are now… Read More

Love and hate
The blog last night ended with me saying that writers either end up hating their creations or loving them. I prefer love. I took a lesson from two of the most important mystery writers, ever. Arthur Conan Doyle, and Agatha Christie. Their books are still in print decades after their deaths. Movies and television shows are still being made from their literary work. By any standard you care to use, almost, they were successful in their field. They both hated the character that made them successful. Arthur Conan Doyle so hated Sherlock Holmes that he killed him off. He… Read More

Secret Santa is a contest for you and a friend.
The winners will receive two signed LKH books. Don't know which two I will send you, just that it will be two. Your assignment as a Secret Santa is to give one away to someone. Preferably someone who is not yet a fan.

The new office in the dark
I finally know my new office enough to come up in the dark, and be typing this in the dark. Okay, except for the computer screen which is alight. But I know this room now. I have to admit that I missed my old office for awhile, and autumn is a wonderful time in my old room. There is a beautiful Sweet Gum outside the window. In the fall it glows yellow, and fills the room with golden light on sunny days. But when we got back from our working vacation I walked into my new office, and was… Read More
