To those of you who signed up for my newsletter – Thank you. My plan is to begin sending news flashes at the beginning of August. I’m racing an Ironman race on July 23 and attending the RWA National Conference the week following the race. I should have lots of news to share by August 1st. […]
John and I are counting down to race day. Less than five weeks to go. We’ve been training long — three hour runs, five to six hour bike rides, one hour swims — and we’re feeling the St. Louis heat. Two weekends in a row, we rode in 101 degree weather; talk about wringing every […]
Race day is almost here. Unbelievable. Where have the days gone? But ready or not, race day is almost upon us. Please send all the positive energy you can spare to my husband and me this Sunday (7/23) — keep us going with your good thoughts. It’s going to be a LONG day! I have […]
Two days after completing Ironman USA in Lake Placid, I flew to Atlanta to attend The RWA National Conference. Four incredible days packed with information, energy, and thousands of other writers, not to mention the bonus of spending the evenings with my son and daughter-in-law. I chose workshops to learn about career, craft, research, and […]
I haven’t posted in quite awhile, simply because I’ve been very busy. I totally rewrote The Chase is Over, my very first manuscript, and though the basis of the story remained unchanged, I refocused the POV’s, strengthened the plot, and ramped up the tension both in the relationship between Alexandra and Tyler and in the […]
Hubby and I just returned from a fabulous vacation in which we saw the spectacular views of Southern Utah by bike. Our Trek Travel group consisted of thirteen avid cyclists and two guides, who were simply awesome, BTW. We started our journey in Boulder, Utah, with a warm-up ride (ha) to check out the fit […]
Well, I’m off to the National Conference to learn more about the business. I will pitch to some important people, meet up with old writer friends, make new friends, attend the PRO workshop, and so much more. The four jam-packed days are always exhilarating, and as I have each year, I’m looking forward to the information I’ll gain. […]
I’m back, exhausted but exhilarated, ready to plunge back into my work. My admiration goes out to everyone involved in making this conference what it was — awesome! The PRO retreat was the best yet, filled with terrific information that each of us can put to use ASAP, the workshops were filled with inspiring and realistic information […]
Has anyone noticed a change in customer service in the last few years? My father was a businessman, who was well respected in his industry, because no matter how much his company grew, he remained humble and honest, and always, always found a way to meet his customers’ needs. I learned at an early age […]
Well, it’s been almost a month since my last post, and I’ve been busy doing everything but writing. I raced another Ironman Race in Louisville, KY just over two weeks ago and I finished remodeling our kitchen just the other day. My mind as been storing up the scenes I need to continue with in […]
