Hi everyone. I suppose by now, most of you are like me--tired of turkey, but eating it in any form possible so it will go away faster. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade...
Hi everyone. I'm not normally a nostalgic person. I prefer living in the present, not wallowing in the past, but this time of year always seems to bring forth those...
Good morning everyone. I suppose by now just about every blogger has sounded off on the bombshell Harlequin/Silhoutte has lobbed. It landed smack in the middle of the romance...
Hello everyone. In 2005, I very stupidly raised my hand to volunteer as co-chairperson of my local RWA chapter's bi-annual conference. The previous chairperson heaved 10 boxes...
Hi everyone. Today I attended my first critique session with a group of mystery writers. As most of you know, I write romantic suspense, but have been trying to break into...

Hi everyone. I think William Shakespeare said, "To thine own self be true." This was brought home to roost for a friend of mine a few days ago. My friend is a terrific writer...
Hi everyone. Three or four years ago I, along with my husband, our general contractor, his subcontractors, and my dogs, almost went nuts adding on to the house. The reason? The...
Hello everybody. Did you all think I had gone to that great work in progress in the sky? Not yet, but I sure feel like I'm there. The past month has been hectic. I finally...
Hi everyone. A while back I sold a book my editor thought had possibilites for a sequel. It was like she read my mind. I'd always considered it, too. So, I decided why...
Hi everyone. Well, tomorrow my husband moves out of the house, and it isn't because he wants to. Last April he was laid off at age 62. Neither of us could believe it. He'd...
Hi everyone. Last time I talked about brainstorming, but another question keeps cropping up during discussions with my fellow writers. Are you a plotter or a pantster? Do you...
Hi everyone. A while back, I blogged about critique partners so I won't bore you with that subject again--well, maybe just a little. As a writer, I view critique partners...
Hi everyone. The past couple of weeks have been busy, so forgive me my inattention to Suzanne's Blog. My grandson had a great time visiting Ft. Lauderdale, but as soon as we...

Good morning, everyone. When I was growing up, Memorial Day was one of my favorite holidays. It heralded the offical beginning of summer. In rural Indiana, school had...
Hi everyone. Today is one of those days when I can't whip up the energy or the inspiration to do anything. We all experience this from time to time, but I consider this letdown...
Mother's Day--a celebration devised by a greeting card company to sell cards. Whatever the motivation, it worked and is now an institution. Sadly, neither my mother nor...
