Yup, Summer’s officially over and the kids are back in school and that means I have more time to myself again. How can they both be in middle school already? Despite appearances to the contrary on the blog, I have actually been doing some writing related work. You know you’ve neglected the blog for too…

July 13th is Excerpt Monday! Has it REALLY been a whole month? Where is the summer going? *sigh* Bria and Mel are on a roll! Check out the snazzy cards they had made to hand out at RWA Nationals this year, that I’ve stolen for a banner. This month they’re inviting everyone to play along…

Illegal immigrants must abide by the holiday schedule as well, you see. So…

This was one week before he graduated, four months before his 21st birthday. We had a surprisingly large turnout of all our friends and family considering it wasn’t…
