Last week I wrote about Angels and was asked to tell about an Angel encounter. Here’s my favorite. A young mother I knew was coming home after attending a retreat, and was driving over a mountain pass. As I recall her telling of the event, the weather was bad and her car veered off the […]
For a bunch of writers, I notice that we all watch a lot of television. So no surprise that this entry is not only about television programming, but a complaint about its delivery. In my town, you have two choices for cable television. If I choose one, then I can’t get MSNBC. Not acceptable. If […]

We kill people for a living–or at least an approximation of a living, in my case, since my books pretty much pay for my own book addiction and not much else!. But I digress. We kill people or a living, but do you ever find yourself holding back and not killing off someone who really […]
Anyone who has known me for anytime at all has heard about all the haunted places hubby and I have stayed or visited: The Queen Mary, Room 17 in the Bella Maggoire Bed and Breakfast, the hotel across the street from the Alamo. Just this weekend we went on a ghost tour and visited the […]

by Susan McBride Here I go again, getting all geared up and nervous for a new book release (11 days from today, to be exact!). I’m strapping on my mental Kevlar vest and my sturdiest virtual helmet, and I’m crossing fingers, toes, legs, eyes, whatever’s remotely cross-able. On January 26, THE COUGAR CLUB will be […]
Kat Maguire on getting older: Aging gracefully isn’t about aging gratefully. It’s about living life with your engine on overdrive, making love with all the lights on, trashing your diet books, and diving into the chocolate cake.Chapter One When it rains, it pours. The sky opened up just as Kat Maguire exited Grand Central Station […]

I think it’s a generational thing. ***Spoiler Alert*** for books and movie. We walked out of the movie theater: husband and wife of a certain middle age; son and daughter, young adults. The movie? Sherlock Holmes. The reviews? Nothing short of fantastic, according to the younger set. For us older folks, it was a perfectly […]
