Do You Remember The Man From Snowy River?
Okay, what girl who grew up in the 1980s didn’t fall at least a little in love with The Man from Snowy River. I’m pretty sure most of my friends spent at least a few hours on the piano trying to learn to play “Jessica’s Theme” and possibly more hours pining for Jim Craig and […]

Enduring Art and The Power of Creativity for Happiness
I have a favorite author that I almost never recommend to people because I’m not sure my taste will run the same as other people’s. Anthony Trollope wrote 84 novels in his day, the Victorian era. He was a contemporary of Dickens, and like Dickens, had his work serialized in newspapers, vast sweeping plots, with […]
Why I Write WHAT I Write
I want to share something, and I hope it’s taken in the spirit I intend. There have been days when I’ve been down, or that I’ve thought maybe the genre I write in is not as “important” as other genres. Then last month, I took a writing workshop from Joshua Perkey where I was encouraged to […]

Courage and Criticism and Creativity: Some Thoughts
My kids were watching Ratatouille a few days ago, and I caught the very end where Anton Ego, the food critic, gives his monologue reviewing the restaurant. A portion of it struck me, especially in light of what happened with a friend of mine today, a creative–though not a writer–as she received some stinging criticism […]
Contest for a Free Paperback
WINNING THE CONTEST Once when I was in high school, I entered a contest to win free “glamour shots.” To my parents’ dismay, I won and went to collect my prize. At the last minute on a whim, I took my two younger sisters with me to the local Fred Meyer. We let the photographers do […]
Books Get Facelifts, Too
To go along with being age 45, I have had to switch to moisturizer with Retinol in it to stave off some of the wrinkles. It’s working surprisingly well. A huge thank you shout-out to skin science geniuses. Meanwhile, to go along with the release of Wills & Trust next Monday, all the books in […]
The Story Behind the Legally in Love Series
When I married my husband, he was still in law school at Georgetown U in Washington, D.C. Then he worked for the U.S. Congress before we moved to Arizona where he hung out a shingle and worked as a lawyer for a while before running for judge. So basically, he made the laws, defended people […]
