Point Surrender
That’s the theme for this year’s Circle of Hope Afternoon Tea and Champagne Reception, being held tomorrow, October 15, 2011. This is my first time going, and I can’t wait. Picking up my pal Kath and heading out to a “luxury Sand Canyon estate” where we’ll be escorted to our delightfully decorated “Vine to Wine” tea [...]
Happy New Year. Have been thinking about what to say, but I’m so late I’m afraid all the good topics have already been written. And it’s already the 4th; folks are probably DONE hearing about how bad the ending of LOST was, how sad it was when so-and-so passed away, how shocking it was to [...]

It’s so nice to meet new fans at a book fair. One lady hugged POINT SURRENDER to her chest and said she couldn’t wait to read it! Is that cool, or what? I sold a lot more books than I thought I would, especially with all the competition and the state of the economy. I [...]
