Whiskers on Kittens

Friday, June 26th, 2009

I’ve had so many lovely things happen this week. Even if I am past 7 months pregnant and it is suddenly a billion degrees outside with six billion percent humidity. Although come to that I suppose I can still be thankful that I am not (yet) nine months along in a sudden heat wave. But […]

Happy Father’s Day!

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

This blog seems to be turning into a shrine to my husband this week–but I couldn’t let father’s day go by without mentioning my girl’s daddy. My husband was an only child, and the youngest cousin in his family to boot. Before Isabella was born, he’d held a baby maybe twice in his life, had […]

Clothes Make the Writer?

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

For some reason, I remember times in my life by what I used to wear then. Not even by my favorite outfit, necessarily–just something I particularly remember having worn at any given time. When I think of high school, for example, I instantly think of gray tights, a gray pleated skirt, and a pale pink […]

A Story

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

When I was in college, the ballroom dance club on campus was very popular. I’d grown up watching old Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies, so I started to go to the meetings–and I absolutely loved it. The dancing was fun, the music great, and the people I met there all friendly and fun and […]

Memorial Day

Monday, May 25th, 2009

The world of Dark Age Britain was a violent one, a place of constant strife and battle, nearly constant war. And in setting Twilight of Avalon during that age, I quickly realized that I knew almost nothing about warfare. Not only about Dark Age warfare, but about war itself, about the kinds of men who […]

The Sound of Silence

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

I know many, many authors like to listen to music while they write to help get into the mood of a book. Lots of my favorite writers post playlists on their websites for all their books of all the songs they listened to during the writing process. It always makes me feel kind of like […]
