finding calm
What?? Two posts within two days? Yes, I’m procrastinating. Don’t judge me. Anyway, here’s the thing…my life is weird. It is a dichotomy which might give a lesser person whiplash. It certainly hasn’t done much for my sanity–or perhaps it has. Maybe it’s saved me, because when one part gets too annoying, or stressful, or... »
my favorite things: cowgirl creamery cheese
A few months ago I posted on another group blog I belong to about Purple Cowboy wine. Well here is the perfect accompaniment to that–Cowgirl Creamery Cheeses. As I’ve mentioned here before, my friends and I are foodies. We get together weekly at one house and basically cook and eat together. I won’t say it’s... »
i have become what you always thought i was
I have a romance story published. Boy meets girl. Boy’s best friend has a crush on girl. Boy hides his feelings until they are thrown together into a deadly situation, then boy and girl give in to their feelings. One single night of sex ensues. Boy loves girl. Girl loves boy, but boy leaves... »
life imitating art
Years ago I wrote a book, the idea for which wasn’t even mine. Here’s how it went way back then… Me: I need an idea for another cowboy book. The Cowboy: Write about a romance writer who asks a cowboy to help her write a book about cowboys. Me: Haha. That’s not very original. Fast forward to 8... »
to each his (or her) own
What are you doing for Valentines Day? Romantic dinner? Flowers? Lingerie? Then you’re probably among the majority. I, however, rarely do what’s expected. I wanted something totally different for Valentines Day and I’m happy to say I got it. I wanted to take a roadtrip from NY to NC to watch the professional bull rider... »
piggin’ strings–they’re not just for rodeos
I tend to think out of the box. It’s my job as a romance writer. Normal people see things as they are. I see things as I can remake them to suit my purposes. For instance, while other romance authors are spending tons of money, preaching to the choir by placing their bookcover in... »
fresh from the garden…
…the famous Madison Square Garden in NYC, that is. My life truly is a strange dichotomy at times. I’m just back from a weekend full of PBR–the NYC Invitational and the opening weekend of the 2011 season. For the first time, I brought my friends with me. You have to know the background to appreciate... »
a year of sexy–happy anniversary to me
I realized it was just about this time last year that I joined the Eat Something Sexy blogs. What a year it has been. Since October of 2009 new bloggers have joined us here, Amy has a released another book, and I’ve had a few releases myself. So is the cycle of life. A year... »
all the world’s a stage…
“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players” ~Shakespeare Yes, the great bard was correct. The world–life–is a stage and at times I wish the contracts would expire for some of the bit players in my own life so I can either kill off their character or hold an open call... »
say i won’t…
I was watching pro bull riding on TV a few months ago and I noticed a bunch of the riders had the words “Say I Won’t” on their vests. Being the Google queen I of course searched who and what this sponsor was. I was pleasantly surprised to find it’s a line of clothing,... »
