I finally made myself learn how to use the iMovie program on my Macbook. Unlike the previous video posted here, I didn't have to delete the sound because...uhm...YouTube! Yay.

In other news, I leave for RWA National Convention a week from today. In fact, at this exact time next week, I'll be in the air somewhere between St. Louis and Orlando! I'm ( Read more... )

At least that's what my Pisces horoscope calendar said today: You're on! The Sun enters your bewitching sign, and nothing counts more than your fondest wishes, hopes, and dreams and whatever it takes to get from here to there.

Oh, yeah! That certainly sounds good to me! All this week, I'm featuring photos of the Caribbean cruise on my website, ( Read more... )

I've started putting some pictures of my Caribbean/South American cruise up over on Penumbra, if anyone is interested in seeing them. Check over there pretty much daily for the next several days/week as I'll post one or two every day to give folks a taste of my trip ( Read more... )

I have been. MIA, I mean. Wow. I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted here. My bad ( Read more... )

Today is Wednesday, yes? Even looking at the date and time on my computer clock, I still feel like I'm floating through this weird time warp tunnel. Being away from the computer and basically off line for more than a week is quite discombobulating. What an amazing time at RWA Nationals in DC, though! Some of it was spectacular! Some of it sucked ( Read more... )

Greetings and salutations! I'm in Fairfax, Virginia enjoying one last night of quietude before heading into D.C. proper tomorrow for the excitement that will be RWA Nationals.

What a week! So many deaths, public and private, so many weird and scary things going on in the world. Writing, in many ways, is such a solitary pursuit. There are times I can have the TV murmuring in the background, tuning in mentally if something catches my attention. Other times, I turn it off, put the earbuds in, hit shuffle on the iPod and get ( Read more... )

*SQUEEEEEE*One of my favorite places in the whole world is New Orleans. My Delta Ghost series of romantic suspense is set in and around New Orleans. When I go, I tend to camp out at the Cafe du Monde, sipping cafe au lait and watching people go by. G and I were there on a business trip WAY back when. After spending a day with a cabby seeing the ( Read more... )

Yes. I've been MIA. But isn't that what vacations are for? To get lost from RL for a bit? Last Saturday, after a late start, G and I headed south into Texas. Southeast of Dallas, we caught rain. Remember the reports of flooding and 10 inches of rain in Houston? We were driving through that in Louisiana. Even so, it was fun seeing the scenery where ( Read more... )

I am always amazed by how giving the romance community is. Rather than a meeting and program today, my local RWA chapter is having a write-a-thon. I'll be on the road headed to Florida, but I'll have my laptop with me and will be writing madly across Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida. Would you like to help? Here's how ( Read more... )
