The good news is I managed not to lose anything while in either airport or on the plane. I’m a little paranoid after the debit card incident. We had to squish four people into the back seat of a Super Shuttle for a 1/2 hour ride from the airport to the hotel. (The poor man […]
Ka-Powell!
What a huge hit! Any fan of books, either as a writer or a reader, makes a pilgrimage to Powell’s Book store when he or she visits Portland. It’s the mecca of book worms! And guess whose book is featured on their main pages as a Daily Dose? Mine! (The Familiar Stranger as a Daily […]
UPS–My Hero!
Yesterday, 250 copies of The Familiar Stranger I purchased myself arrived at my doorstep. I got this random shot of the UPS guy delivering box after box of books. He even posed for a GREAT picture, which I can’t show you because … I accidentally deleted it while trying to get a good shot of […]

Taking Over the Internet One Blog at a Time
“I want to read it both faster and slower at the same time … the sentences flow effortlessly, yet the quality of every word, carefully chosen, seeps through the pages and begs for my attention … I desire, but am afraid, to read further as the impending pain is too personal to leave alone …” […]
Who’s Hot AND Rich?
Many children across the world started school today and many parents posted pictures. Do we really need more First Day Pictures? Yes, because I didn’t want you to miss out the cutest kids in the whole wide world. Feel free to leave comments disagreeing–it’s your duty if you’re a parent to argue for your own. […]
Sharing My Heart
We’re kicking off the second week of the tour! It’s going SO well. One poster got more than 100 hits in the first few hours she posted. I’m enjoying the different flavors of each. Today, join Patricia Woodside at Readin N Writin … I sent pages and pages of Q&As to the participants of the […]
