I have a great book called “45,000 Baby Names”. My daughter borrowed it when they were looking for just the right name for the new baby-to-be.
Today’s question - what’s in a name? Or perhaps - “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. ” I don’t think so! [...]

Have I ever mentioned I run across some really interesting things when I’m researching? Well, I do and I’ve found a new favorite website, but I’ll get to that later.
The most recent “makes you blink in astonishment” thing I’ve run across while researching for my new Brava series is a radio for the shower that [...]

You’re kidding, right?
I have this reaction several times a week. Over the past… oh, I dunno, year or so, I’ve gotten emails on a regular basis, usually several a week. Asking for some kind of advice. Or info. Some are a little easier than others. The easiest question to answer is…

Tomorrow is the big day, and I’m here to tell you that it’s not just for lovers. As a public school teacher for 15 years, I enjoyed a host of Valentine parties and gifts… not only from children, but from parents and other teacher friends. I think the day should be about “Love” in all [...]

Isn’t this cover to die for? This guy looks exactly as I picture Hotwire, the hero for and ABLE. He’s a super sexy computer geek/ex-mercenary. Is that an oxymoron for you?

Okay… a troublemaker I know… *and love, admittedly…* is the inspiration behind today’s blog.
Said troublemaker lives in Australia. Said troublemaker loves to read. I’ve gained a number of readers just from her recommendations alone. When you’ve picked up a LOT of new ebook readers and print readers all from the recommendation [...]

Okay, how many just looked at their watch or a clock to see if it was still morning? I know I’m running behind today. I had to hurry and get my page quota for the day so I could do something really important like drag my husband shopping. Okay, maybe it’s not [...]
