old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway
I’ve been trying to save money lately. Between being in a long distance relationship, attending several weddings this year and the high cost of living and playing in New York City, I spend way too much. However, I am not going to stop going out to dinner because I love trying new restaurants and most…
Read MoreBachelor Pad Jamie/Chris
Does anyone else watch Bachelor Pad? It’s so ridiculous and most of the time I am only half watching while doing other things, like writing or switching the channel to the Olympics or baseball. The participants have the biggest egos ever and I really can’t stand any of them. Almost none of them have the…

I really shouldn’t be writing a blog right now because I’m feeling incredibly stressed out and overwhelmed. Unfortunately, one of the (many) things that is causing me stress is the fact that I haven’t posted a blog in a while and so here I am. Besides my mother, I doubt anyone has been stalking my…

I am in the process of editing my soon-to-be-published chick-lit novel, Planet of the Flakes, a story about a type-A young woman whose life plan is veering way off track thanks to the flake-invested pool of singletons she finds herself swimming in after ending a nine-year relationship…
Read MoreBad Love Triangles
I was reading a book recently and found myself irked by the “so-called” love triangle. I’m not comfortable mentioning the name of the book and don’t try to figure it out by looking on my Goodreads “currently reading” list because I did not add it!! While the novel itself was generally entertaining, the love triangle…

In the past two weeks, I have hosted two giveaways for a free e-copy of Just Friends With Benefits. The first giveaway was in honor of reaching 300 fans on my book’s Facebook page. I’m pleased to announce that the winners of that giveaway are Michele W and Jane Cook. The second giveaway was part…

I have changed a lot in the past 15 or so years. For instance, I’ve switched jobs a few times, added highlights to my naturally jet black hair, had a couple of boyfriends, amended my taste in men (partly because of said boyfriends), become aware of my strengths and weaknesses and more appreciative and forgiving…
Read Morethe “I’ve reached 300 fans on Facebook” e-book giveaway!
Back when the Just Friends With Benefits Facebook page had under 250 fans, I made a promise to give away an e-copy of the book when I reached 300 fans. Many months later, I have finally reached my goal and it is time to make good on my promise. But I am going to do…
