Next month I have TWO — count ’em, TWO — trips to Kentucky and some genius (I honestly cannot remember who or I’d give linkage credit) suggested I listen to an audio book to pass the time. (You know, I’m thinking it was AB. Thanks AB!) Anyways, I’ve never listened to an audio book before …
Melanie Hooyenga
*click*
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it here before, but I have a near-photographic memory. Tell me something and odds are I’ll remember it. (Yes, this frustrates some people to no end.) Thing is, it’s not PERFECT so I don’t remember every little thing, it’s mainly the useless factoids I read online, hear on the …
The Little Green Light
*blink* The green light flashes. *blink* I try to concentrate on my conversation but the green light beckons. *blink* This has become my life. *blink* Who could it be? *blink* Is it an email or a text? *blink* Is it someone responding to something I said, or is it a brand spanking new email? *blink* …
Look Out Below
For those of you who read Owen’s blog (or are friends with me on Facebook), you may already know what this is about. See, I brought Owen to the vet last weekend and we were informed that Owen’s, um… … haven’t dropped. And odds are, they won’t. Which means he’ll have to have surgery to …

Inspiration is Everywhere
As I continue not to write, inspiration keeps sneaking up on me. I have a lot of time to think during my morning commute–ten minutes of which is on the highway. I turn on the cruise control, focus on the car in front of me, and let my mind wander. Just as I return to …
So Yeah, Writing
Remember how I wrote a couple novels and was all excited to pitch them to literary agents and hopefully, fingers crossed, get published? Yeah… That’s still my goal and I’m still excited about my novel(s), but I just haven’t been able to get to them. I have ALL my beta comments in for After the …
The Greatest Jewelry Salesman in the World — Guest Post by Stephen Parrish
I’d like to give a warm welcome to Stephen Parrish, a writing friend whose debut novel, The Tavernier Stones, comes out May 1st (although rumor has it you can already get it online and, as Stephen puts it, “in courageous bookstores everywhere”). Stephen has helped me in the past when I was working on my …
Twist of Fate
The phone rang and her breath caught when she saw who it was. She pressed her hand to her chest, forced her synapses to shut up for a second, then pressed Talk. “Hey, are we still on for tomorrow?” He cleared his throat, a soft rumble that made her heart stutter. “There’s been a change …
Parents Just Don’t Understand
(This song’s been stuck in my head so apparently this post will be in verse.) Okay, here’s the situation My parents brought me home after my “vacation” and They gave me space in their bas-e-ment Will they mind allll my stuff? Of course not. My things were kept in a storage room Safe from the …
