She’s Baaaack …
Whew, life has been throwing me some interesting curve balls as of late and truthfully … I haven’t handled them well. Just about 2 1/2 years ago Mr. Nina was downsized from a job he’d had for over 20 years. Despite the blow to his ego, the change had been one that needed to happen. [...]

Do You Want Fries With That?
Over the years I’ve had numerous jobs. And when I say numerous … I mean like over 50. Really. I’m the female version of George Plimpton. (Only he was into sports. And a writer. And he made TONS of money … but you know… kinda like him.) Anyway, I started working when I was 15 at [...]

Ringing in the New Year with New Goals
*Nina slides in breathless* I know I’m very late getting back to my blog after the holidays. It just seems I’m having a hard time rolling into 2012.

Just a Little Update
With so many authors jumping into the self-publishing pond, I thought I’d share my experience.

Afraid? Who Me?
Okay, I’m just going to come right out and say it … I’m a scaredy cat. Flat out, yellow bellied wuss of the nth degree. And yes, that includes horror movies and ghost stories. But that’s not the fear I’m chatting about today. I’m talking about the fear of failure. Now don’t get me wrong [...]

And Just a Little Update
What am I up to? Hmmm … my first answer is, not much, but then I wonder why my day at the computer starts at 9ish in the morning and ends well after 10. Must mean up doing something. *g* Let’s see if I can catch you up a little. First and foremost I’m working [...]

I Can't Chew it All!
*deep calming breath* Really, I feel like I’m treading through molasses and not getting anywhere … fast! I know I’m not any different than every other writer out there trying to balance their real life with the world their building in their books. But sometimes life stuff just tumbles on top of itself and I [...]
