by Maria Geraci I just finished the cutest book–Neanderthal Seeks Human. It’s a romance but it’s also got a small undercurrent women’s fiction plot going on. The main character belongs to a knitting group, you see, although, technically she doesn’t knit (the other members of the group do). Still, it’s a great excuse for the characters […]
by Maria Geraci We’re just a couple of days from Memorial Day Weekend, the unofficial start of summer, arguably, most people’s favorite time of year. Summer means vacations and warm weather and trips to the beach and the lake and wherever else you like to go in your free time. It also means beach reading! […]
by Maria Geraci Mothers Day is just a few days off and the buzz is heavy in the air. Flower shops are working round the clock and restaurants are prepping for their biggest day of the year. I noticed that one of the cable channels is running a Mother’s Day marathon of “Mommy Dearest” and […]
by Maria Geraci The other day I was getting my eyelashes worked on (long story for another post) and while I was blissfully laying there on the table, a Norah Jones song came on Pandora. I can’t remember which one exactly, but Norah Jones has such a distinct voice that you always know it’s her […]
by Maria Geraci I can think of no other solitary profession that craves company more than writers. Because writers need other writers. Let me explain. When a writer sits down at the keyboard, they’re alone. Well, except for those crazy characters running around in their heads. My husband swears I have someone stashed away in […]
by Maria Geraci Every once in a while, a book comes along that not only engages me as a reader, but inspires me as a writer. I have to admit that I first read Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander well before I ever thought of becoming a writer. My husband gave me the book as a Christmas […]
by Maria Geraci With tomorrow being Valentine’s Day, I had this cute little post planned, typical romance writer style. But like a lot of America, I’ve been glued to the Olympics and then something happened that I haven’t been able to get out of my mind. Professional athletes dissing on other professional athletes. As in […]
by Maria Geraci Please. Humor me a moment. I live in north Florida. It’s not like we really got any snow here in Tallahassee. I know that. But again, I live in Florida. Repeat that at any moment while reading this post and it will maybe make sense to you. I used to work with […]
by Maria Geraci Ack! I hate to be a copycat, but when I went to post this blog I saw that Bethany had done a similar post yesterday. Yet… I think this is one post that can be repeated. After all, we are writers and writers love nothing more than to read. So here I […]
by Maria Geraci Last night I attended my local writing group. It’s composed of 8 or so lovely ladies, all of whom write very different things (I’m the only one writing romance). We have a group leader who’s very smart. Very savvy. Terrific editor and terrific teacher. So we sit down to eat and I […]
