Surely you know how exciting this is to us lighthouse people!
A quick surf through cyberspace will turn up numerous celebrations of National Lighthouse Day. I am celebrating by kicking off my month-long campaign to launch my latest romantic lighthouse mystery, CAPE SEDUCTION!
But back to NLD. What’s it all about, actually? Well, back in 1988, Senator [...]

What a trip. Literally. I flew the Friendly Skies into Chi-Town on Thursday afternoon. O’Hare is a pretty nice airport, with trippy neon lights and synchronized music. BIG airport. Friday did a little looking around, brainstorming all the while with my publisher, Karen Syed, who graciously (not sure that’s exactly the right word) chauffeured me [...]

March Madness! We love March. March is…

Small press month
Women’s history month
National Nutrition Month
National Kidney Month
American Red Cross Month.

See anything interesting yet? Maybe you’re not up to a whole month of anything, so consider this: it’s Read an ebook week! Yes, those annoying tree-huggers are back, admonishing you for still reading paper books! I’ll admit [...]

For those of you not “in the know” – “La-La Land” is the not-so-affectionate nickname of our City of Angels (originally El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciúncula or The Town of Our Lady the Queen of Angels of the Little Portion); some just call it “Smell-A” (nasty, ain’t it?)
Why [...]

Still going mad. Peeps, you have no idea.
More about last year, and this.
Taking care. I lost 13 pounds in ’09, and resumed the wearing of contact lenses. How did I manage the weight loss? Stopped eating sweets, stopped eating seconds, started walking more. Dancing with iPod-clone.  2010: Will continue to pay attention.

Oh, Boy. Yes, Boy [...]

Aside from the notion that I am, in fact, going mad, everything seems to be fine.
Everyone is quick to say, “2010 will be better!” Even in the bank today, a customer—a stranger to me—called out the same, asking for my concurrence. I do believe that people everywhere are ready to feel better. They are ready [...]

I must say I am absolutely loving this rain. It helps to make one feel like it’s really holiday time, despite the fact that it seems we just packed up Christmas a month ago.
School’s Out
School is done, for now. Political Science was a great class, I learned a ton of stuff that I somehow missed [...]

I suspect that this picturesque lighthouse has appeared in more than Message in a Bottle. According to my sources, it is one of three that show up in the film, along with Chicago Harbor Lighthouse and Pond Island, also in Maine.
I confess to not re-viewing this film lately. I couldn’t wait to see it when [...]

Pam-Anne on October 11th, 2009

Have you heard the simile, “busier than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs”? That’s one of my favorites, and a good descriptor of my last week. Started off last weekend with my attendance—or should I be saying “appearance”—at the Duarte Festival of Authors. What a fun day! Not only did I [...]

Pam-Anne on September 30th, 2009

Suffering. I made some kind of mistake, not knowing (well, if we knew when we were making mistakes, we wouldn’t make them, duh!) and now I am trying to fix it. It’s not an easy thing to fix, either. My day was going pretty well, too. The thing is, I’m the kind of person that [...]
