I Feel Like I'm in a Time Machine…
. . . traveling back to the early eighties. I’ve started rereading my first novel, Private Relations, as I get it ready to publish as an ebook. It will join the five other out-of-print books I’ve turned into ebooks–Secret Lives, Reflection, The Escape Artist, Brass Ring and Fire and Rain. (Check them out here). I…
Read MoreJoin Me for the Second 'Story Weekend'!
I was delighted with the response to my first Story Weekend last weekend! I’m so glad you enjoyed sharing your thoughts and hope you’ll join me in doing so again. We’re still in the experimenting stage, so I’m sticking to my three rules: The story must be true. Try to keep it under 100 words. That’s…
Read MoreI'm Taking an Actual Vacation!
Yes, I’m spending five blissful days in San Jose, visiting my stepdaughter and her husband and daughter. I’m not doing any work while I’m here! Friends, family and avid readers of my blog know how rare that is and I’m really getting into this whole relaxing thing. Of course I’m still keeping up with my…
Read MoreJoin Me for the First "Story Weekend"
I’m going to try something new. It will either flop or take off or land somewhere in between. Here’s my idea: Every Friday, I’ll post a topic and you can share something related to that topic from your own life (in the comment form). You don’t need to be a writer to participate. You don’t need…
Read MoreHow Old is the Stuff in YOUR Kitchen?
Please walk into your kitchen. Now open the cupboard where you keep your spices and pull out the dingiest container. How old is it? I bet I have you beat! Here I am in my very first grown-up kitchen, making a not very grown-up face at the photographer (check out those eyebrows!) Location: Berkeley, California.…

When I held my online signing for North American readers, I had many requests for personalized bookplates from those of you in other English-speaking countries but wasn’t able to help you out then. Now, I can! The Midwife’s Confession is available (or will be soon) in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and (this…
Read MoreFrom Writers Block to Blended Families–an Interview with Me
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of being interviewed on Topics Designs TV, a local internet station for an area that includes Topsail Island, where I’m staying this week. It was so nice to do an interview where I didn’t feel as though I had to cram everything in to a two minute spot! I thought Ashton Hasty came…
Read MoreAhh. . . Topsail Island
At my home away from home. Working, of course, but what a place to work! The beach is now wide and beautiful. (Here’s my blog post made during the renourishment). The change is amazing! I’ll be at Quarter Moon Books Friday from 2-4. Stop by!
Read MoreHome for Thirty Hours Before Taking off Again
Home from New Jersey and New York! Well, for about thirty hours, anyway, before we take off for the beach. I thought I’d share some pictures from the week with you. I started out at a speaking engagement in Lakewood, New Jersey. The audience was so fabulous and responsive and I had a great time.…
Read MoreBreaking the First Leg of my Journey
John and I headed for the airport this morning only to discover our flight had been cancelled. We’re supposed to be in New Jersey right now, where I’m to speak at a private event tomorrow and visit family. Then we’ll travel on to New York for the Book Expo. We couldn’t get on another flight today,…
