by Maria Geraci First off, I need to apologize for missing my post last Thursday. I started to write it then got pulled away from the computer and then hurt my back. Had to spend 2 days in bed taking muscle relaxants. Not. Fun. At. All. So, back to book clubs. I’ve been amazed at […]
by Maria Geraci I’m not going to get into the Fifty Shades of Grey debate. You either like the book. Or you don’t. What I want to talk about is how this book got so darn popular (Okay, so it’s a different sort of Fifty Shades debate.) And if you don’t know what I’m talking […]
by Maria Geraci Oops. Today was my day to blog and I’m woefully late. I will blame it on my day job (or in my case, my night job) and say, mea culpa!. Since my last post, I’ve been busy. I have a new website. You can see it right here. And I’ve put up […]
by Maria Geraci It’s been 9 years since my last (and only visit) to New York City.Back in 2003, I went to the Big Apple for the Romance Writers ofAmerica Conference. Although my main focus was writing workshops, Idid manage to squeeze in some sight-seeing. This time, however, itwill be all play and no work. […]
by Maria Geraci A few years ago I began doing something I thought I’d never do–the morning crossword puzzle. Because, you know, only old people with no lives do the crossword puzzle (like my mother-in-law). I began doing the morning crossword because I was going through a particularly wobbly time in my life, and doing […]
How did February get away from me? I absolutely blanked out that I was supposed to blog last Thursday and it wasn’t until I was sitting in my hair dresser’s chair late this morning that I realized that today was Thursday and that meant I had to blog. Argh! Blanking out 2 Thursdays in a […]
by Maria Geraci I have to admit to getting a tickle out of this. I ripped it off a friend’s Facebook status and discovered that there is an entire Facebook page devoted to the love of punctuation and all things wordly. Yep, it’s right here. All of which is extremely appropriate for my current state […]
Although I’m knee deep in copy edits that are due back to my publisher by Friday (yes, tomorrow, that Friday) I still took a break last Sunday night to watch the Golden Globe Awards show. I’m such a sucker for these awards shows. I love watching the stars in their glittery gowns, seeing the men […]
by Maria Geraci Every Christmas there are traditions that I strive to keep alive. Such as buying my kids their own Christmas ornament (no matter how old they happen to be!). Another one is making traditional Cuban eggnog (or Creme de Vie) to enjoy on Noche Buena (or Christmas Eve). If you’ve never made homemade […]
by Maria Geraci Happy Turkey Day everyone! I hope your day is filled with good food, good company and many blessings. I’ll be spending today with my family in central Florida right here. Yep, just a hop, skip and jump from Disney World, shopping, and lots of golf (for the guys), so everyone will be […]
