I’m in deep hiding today, because there is not only one worker here, but two. That way one can continuously hammer while the other one drills. Special!
But they’re taking a lunch break right now, so I thought I’d scurry in here and send you over to Tess Gerritsen’s blog again. If you […]
Wow, you learn something new every day. Check out these two posts from best-selling author Tess Gerritsen.

Our pal Patrick recently attended a writing conference with my favorite writing/business of writing teachers ever, Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Also making appearances were best-selling author Stuart Woods and Lori Foster.

I found out today that Evolution, Me and Other Freaks of Nature was chosen by the ALA and YALSA as one of the Best Books for Young Adults for 2008! Hurray! And the audio version is one of the 2008 Selected Audiobooks for Young Adults! Double hurray!
Thank you, American Library Association and […]
Nice thing I did for myself this week? After months of steady work, weeks of sitting at this computer more hours than I can say, and this last week in particular thinking and dreaming of only these characters and this story to the point where I was constantly talking to myself, running through their […]
I’m such a follower. I know this about myself. There’s a theory in dog psychology that says if a dog is licking another dog’s face, he’s looking for guidance. I lick a lot of faces. Somehow I’m always willing to believe someone else knows better than I do about just about […]
