Flu season
My daughters have the flu. One would think that being off from the day job means that I’d get more writing done, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I get less. I do get a little more reading and TV viewing done. Being sick means wanting Mom in the room, and also wanting…

What am I reading?
Since I’m currently revising two books, on the side I’m reading historical romances. I just finished Victoria Alexander’s A Little Bit Wicked and Terri Bribin’s The Earl’s Secret. Both were excellent and if you like regency era romance, I highly recommend these two. Once I finished, I turned my attention to rereading Hart’s Victory, my November 2007 Harlequin…

Happy New Year!
It’s the new year, and I’m thrilled that 2007 is here. The previous year was a blast, but it also had a lot of roller coaster moments and I’m hoping that those are all behind me now. (PS–above that’s my cat Wiggy, short for Wiggly–her brother is Wu. She’s starting 2007 with a snooze.) As…

Happy Holidays!
I just want to wish you and yours a joyous holiday season. I’m taking a little holiday break to do some writing and some R & R, so I’ll post again once 2007 is here! Michele

A writer friend of mine, Eileen Dreyer (go to www.eileendreyer.com), and I were discussing Dick Francis’s writing a while back. Her comment was that Dick Francis can lay…

Blogging
My agent has a great blog on well, blogs. http://bookendslitagency.blogspot.com/ While I’m not able to blog every day, having a blog has been a fun experience. Because of this blog, I’ve been able to reconnect with one of my former eighth grade students, and that has been a great experience! I always love hearing from former…

The Camel Club
I just finished David Baldacci’s The Camel Club. It’s the story of Oliver Stone (a former CIA agent turned squatter) who heads a group of conspiracy theorists. I had to admit, at one point in the book it was like being on the beginning of a roller coaster going click, click, click. You know that moment when…

Tis the season for sales
My friend Julie called me today to tell me that Wal-mart in Union, MO, only had two of my books left on the shelves–meaning I’d sold eight out of 10 in a store I usually only sell half. I was thrilled. Every time a book gets into the stores I worry about it. The books…
