by Rachel Brady It happens to every blogger at some point: Idea Freeze. Fortunately, I have kids. So when I get blocked, I ask them stuff. This time, I had a conversation with my middle daughter. RB: Thanks for sitting down with me to help me organize some thoughts. Do you ever suffer from unorganized […]
You is kind. You is smart. You is important. Finally. A movie that lives up to the book. A couple of years ago when I first saw the cover for The Help in a bookstore, I scratched my head. I was in Athens, Georgia doing a book signing at the B&N (or was it a […]
or If My Demands Aren’t Met There Will Be Blood by Bethany Maines So this is a blog, right? That means I can I rant? I can just have a bit of a shouty fest for a minute and no one will mind? Whew… because I’ve been hoarding this one for a day or two. […]
by: Joelle Charbonneau I make lots of mistakes. LOTS of them. I have the tendency to trip over my own feet when wearing high heels, save documents in places on my computer that guys at MIT would never be able to find and occasionally, I have been known to bake oatmeal cookies with no flour. […]
I have a dream that little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Next Sunday will mark the 48th anniversary of the March on Washington. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s stirring “I have a dream” […]
by Susan McBride What? you’re muttering to yourself, that title makes no sense. Ah, but it must to someone (or rather, a couple of someones) as it’s one of the search phrases used to find The Stiletto Gang. My best guess is that there’s a post somewhere in the archives mentioning that classic disco tune, “I Will […]
by Maria Geraci First off, I’m glad to say that my daughter doesn’t read my blogs, so I feel pretty free to say whatever I please here without fear of the dreaded “Mom, you didn’t write that, did you?” repercussion. That said, I can continue. I’m currently down in Orlando, getting my youngest daughter settled […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about my comfort zone the past few weeks, and in another week or so, I’ll be able to tell you why. (Insert smiley face that looks like the cat swallowed the canary.) It seems like that term is popping up all over the place. Is it because I just had […]
It’s fun to think back over the good times you’ve had in the past. Since it’s summer, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I spent my summers over the many years. When we were little kids my dad built this unusual trailer that when you got to a campground the sides folded out and […]
For the last two years, I have been a Mexican-American woman. Well, figuratively speaking. And only when writing. The protagonist for my latest mystery is Selena De La Cruz, a feisty Latina insurance agent who was a minor character in BLEEDER. Once she walked onto that stage in those three-inch-heel Giuseppe Zanottis, I knew she […]
