Update for supporters and followers of the 50 Day Wedding Promo and Confessions of a Turtle Mom Series: Daughter may have chosen her wedding venue. You can get a glimpse of her top choice (for now) here, at Twenty Mile House. To save a little money, she’s thinking of having the wedding on a weekday, [...]
Okay. Here’s Chapter Nine of The Ex-Files, as promised to my daughter as part of the wedding promotion. I’m posting late because I had to do this one from my notes. As I wrote this chapter, I tried to think about what it would feel like to revisit an old romance? Would you wonder why [...]
Some people are very creative and enterprising. Rachel Harrie is one of those people. For the third year, she’s running a blog and writer campaign to help writers help each other build our platforms and our readerships. I’m going to do this (yes, even though I swore I wouldn’t add anything to the plate for [...]
Please welcome bestselling, award-winning author Mary Kirk today. Mary has begun to bring out her backlist, and has learned many lessons along the way, just like the rest of us. The Author’s Cut example is one I think others may find genius enough to borrow and adapt for themselves. Enjoy! Author’s Cut? A Euphemism for [...]
My guest today, writer Z. D. Robinson, makes the claim that he lets his wife have the last say on his drafts, and she’s never steered him wrong. I was skeptical at first, and asked him to explain how it works. As soon as I learned where he got the idea, I became a true [...]

I’ve been married a long time, so my dating and ex-regret experiences are distant memories. I had to do some research to see what [...]

I’ve been stumbling around trying to manage an ever growing To Do list all summer long. With September looming, I am beginning to panic. There are not enough hours in the day…well, there are, if I don’t sleep. But I need to sleep. Part of the problem is that I’ve added on a significant need [...]
In Wedding Promo News: (1) My daughter read my blog and approved. Woo Hoo! She says I got a few things wrong (she was a cheerleader for two years, for example). I’ve asked for a list of errata, and I’ll begin editing for posterity’s sake. (2) Amazon still has not raised the price from 99 cents [...]
In Wedding Promo News: Amazon and B&N still battling the battle of the 99 cents price hike chicken game. Blah.
