Why haven’t I blogged? Mystery solved.
My goal is to write a blog a week. I’m not so strict that I need to post a blog every seven days, but I like to have one blog posted for every Sunday-Saturday week. Although I don’t usually have difficulty sticking to this schedule, when I visited my blog earlier today, I saw that…

I’ve always enjoyed television shows like The Ghost Whisperer and Crossing Over with John Edwards, but strictly for entertainment purposes. Sometimes my sister and I would talk about communicating with our deceased grandparents.

My blogs for the last two months have been depressing, I know. That’s because I’ve been depressed.

If you follow my blog, you’re aware that my boss of almost twenty years, who was also one of my dearest friends in the…

On July 8th, 2014, I lost one of my favorite people in the world to blood cancer. I am not the only person who experienced this loss. Cancer stole Alan from a wife of over thirty years, two sons, parents, a brother, and a slew of friends, clients, and colleagues who loved him. Since this…

Read MoreThese television shows would make great chick lit books!
We, and by “we,” I mean my author/blogger friends and I, often discuss what books we could totally see turned into movies. I even cast all of my books as if the screenplay adoption is imminent. But I’ve never heard anyone discuss what movies/television shows they think would make really good books. Since there is…
