I just got back from another writer’s retreat and I have to say, some of my best work is done in the company of a special writer friend. For some reason, the energy flows and we seem to help each other through the rough spots without any effort at all. One of my completed mss […]
It’s time once again to take a moment out of a hectic day to say — I’m thankful for everything I have in my life, especially family and friends! Your support as I travel the long road to publication has been solid and unwavering. You encourage me to continue knocking on doors, believing that the […]
Ironman Florida – November 3, 2007: A recap by Christine (Crash) Mazurk The alarm buzzed at 4:30 am, and we both groaned into the darkness. The air conditioner had so chilled the room, I didn’t want to come out from under the covers, but the start of Ironman Florida was fast approaching – and it […]
It seems I’m on a monthly cycle – with my posting, I mean. I’ve been so wrapped up in my daily writing goals that I’ve lost track of time. Not a bad thing when cranking out the pages of creativity. I did take time out this past weekend to attend the NJ writers conference, where I […]
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 […]

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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
