Time is running out to enter my Celebration Giveaway for Murder Comes by Mail. Deadline is noon EST Tuesday, May 17, 2016. I got the nesting cats and they are cute but not as tall as I expected and the journaling Bible is beautiful. So if you want to get your name in the drawing, you have to do it …
“All right, all right, all right! No more Mr. Nice Guy!” If any of you have young kids or grandkids you may know where you can find that quote. It’s Grover (sweet, lovable Grover from Sesame Street) in one of my grandkids’ favorite read aloud books, There’s a Monster at the End of this Book. Grover is trying to block …
It’s time to enjoy those great summer days with the kids and with my reading friends. And the Winners Are I usually make you wade though whatever I post here and get to the bottom of the page before I announce the winners, but this time I’m letting you know right off the bat. First place winner is Diana J …
“I’m late, I’m late for a very important date!” That’s what I am with this blog post – late like the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. But this weekend was a time when I was rushing around like that white rabbit trying to do everything and then some. That’s when I should listen …

When Scent of Lilacs first came out in 2005, I decided that since I had used my …
My Hometown Reading Friends Any excuse to have fun is a good excuse. And I did have fun this weekend celebrating my new Shaker book, The Gifted. See this roomful of friends waving at me and smiling? And that was after I talked. Could be that’s why they were smiling — because I’d finally hushed. I asked them to wave …
Okay, so I took my camera to my Hometown Book Launch today and forgot to take even one picture to share with you, my cyber friends and neighbors. I could have at least taken a picture of those brownies I baked for my reading friends. But I was too busy talking to think about pictures. So you get a picture …
My celebration of The Blessed was a fun time of friends and book talking with a little chocolate thrown in to sweeten the hour. I was lucky enough to have my daughter and husband (in the photo with me) there to help me carry everything in. Books can be heavy. I do so appreciate all my hometown reading friends who …
I love having hometown book launches the way I did today. First off, I get to see people I haven’t seen in months. We live in the same town but the only people I see are those on the same grocery store run schedule as I am. Does that happen for you too? You see the same group of people …
