Sorry about the Sally Fields enthusiasm, but this is really what I needed!  I’ve been back and forth to the hospital for tests, poking, prodding (no, I didn’t enjoy any of the prodding, thankyouverymuch), and torture of all sorts, so imagine my surprise and utter happiness to see a great review show up in my email???  I mean, it has been almost 10 months since the book came out so I’d pretty much given up hope

Mary at www.bittenbybooks.com gave it five stars (well, they use tombstones there since they are a paranormal site, but you get the picture) and said, “I loved this book! There are several pleasant twists on the way. This is a definite must-read for any time-traveling romantics.”  You can read the whole review here!  YAY! and I’m so glad she loved it.

I know I’m late in wishing you a happy Thanksgiving, but my sentiment is real, none the less.  I hope that you and yours have a great weekend of family, fun, and football, just like mine has and will continue over the next few days.  I’m thankful for all of my readers, family, and friends most of all.  I’m especially thankful to still have my daddy around.  A month ago he had a procedure done to correct an issue with his heart that had he not had done, would have proven fatal by now.  I thank God for my family every single day.

May God bless you and yours this weekend and always.

Yes, it’s that time of year again kids: National Novel Writing Month.  This will be the third year in a row that I’ve attempted to write 50,000 words in 30 days.  How has that worked out for me in the past you ask?  Well, in 2007 I was able to cross the finish line with over 50,000 words!  In 2008…not so much.  I’ve only done about 800 words for the first day which isn’t even half of the 1667 per day average, but in my defense I did go to an awesome Sunday night service at my church.  Hey, if God has my back, I can’t fail!  

Check back often and I’ll try to keep you all posted on my progress.  I’m finishing up my novel It’s About Time and starting the sequel Coming Back to Bite You!  The first one has been so much fun to write, I can only hope the sequel is too.

I finally got down to brass tacks (not really sure what brass tacks have to do with anything, but hey, who am I to judge) and went to the doctor since I’ve been sick for oh…bout two months now AGAIN.  My love/hate relationship with MD’s stems back MANY many years.  I have too passive of a nature for them and they just love tossing pills at me or chalking up any and all symptoms to my bouts of depression.  Well, I finally wrote all my symptoms down and confronted my new (well, I’ve been his patient for two years but haven’t gone in) doctor and he’s running a BUTT load of tests.  Nothing definite yet, but I’m beginning to wonder if I really want to know with what he’s hinting at.  I mean, surely if I just ignore it, the crap will go away.  Right?  (Yes, I realize that is a childish way of dealing with things, but I’m really just a kid at heart) 

I’m just so sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Much like the first line in my new book–Normal is a relative term–I’m slowly coming back to as normal of a life as I generally lead. I got flattened by some bug going around and my spring back time isn’t like it used to be. So, if you had come here lately looking for pearls of wisdom (okay, something to make you laugh) and had left empty handed, I give you my sincerest appologies! I’m on he mend, so watch out world, and watch out Work In Progress!!

As many of you know, yesterday was my baby boy’s 21st birthday. The night started out fun…but ended like a lot of 21st birthdays do. Yes, there was vomit. LOTS of vomit. Unfortunately, I was the one in the back seat holding him upright while he puked all over himself, me and my father’s truck no matter how much I tried to get him to aim out the window. Yeah, my dad laughed, but that smell just never comes out no matter how many times you take the garden hose to it, and that is exactly what we were doing at midnight last night. FUN!

Anyhow, while another milestone in the life of my family has come to pass, this is one I have NO problems with being over! Happy Birthday, CJ. Let’s not do that one again!

I’m guest blogging at Killer Ficton today!  I want to know your best comebacks to the worst pickup lines ever.  I’m giving away books and one lucky poster will be in my next book.  Come give me the best of your worst

Yup, the kid an I got mani-pedis Saturday for the first time together It was a good day. Just had to say that first.

Okay, I also have good news! The muse is back. That’s right, he brushed off the trash from the dumpster he’s been sleeping in and came home. I hope he sticks around and sees the fruits of his labors as I’ve embarked on a three book project. I even *gasp* plotted the first one out completely! I KNOW! Stick around, this is just getting interesting.

Richard Castle IS a writer, so it does have some relation…
LOVE THIS SHOW!! I can’t wait for next season and I do plan on owning the first one when it comes out on DVD, in case you were sitting on the edge of your seat and wondering. LOL
