A Beacon for the Metaphorical Penis Chapter 5 It had been too long since Dee updated her blog. It wasn't that she was running out of dating advice on how to stay away from the wrong kind of guy--the douche bags, the dickheads--but more that Dee could not get that damned conversation out of her …

Sneak Peek
In honor of my latest book release, September Rain out 5/15, I'm posting a snippet from the manuscript. I was going to write this big introduction but then realized this scene is self explanatory . . . Jake was anxious for me to meet his mom. He’d planned to introduce me several times, but I …
Robsessed Giveaway: A chance to win Finding My Thunder and Darnay Road. Thank you Miss Tink
I’m reblogging this post because I love Diane Muniers work. And who doesn’t like free stuff?
If you haven’t viewed the site Robsessed lately you’ve been missing out. Miss Tink and the girls over there have been writing and posting their little hearts out in support of Robert Pattinson. Do you want to laugh and have a smile on your face? Go to Robsessed and read Tink’s article: Seeing Robert Pattinson in the Flesh is What Sweet Robsessed Dreams are Made of.
Tink is quite the writer. Whenever she ‘sees Pattinson’s flesh’ I mean sees him IN the flesh, she goes silent. In this story we learn it can also mean (spoiler alert) semi-silent hysterical laughter. You DO NOT want to miss this encounter as told through Tink’s adoring eyes.
Miss Tink has also been incredibly generous to me. Robsessed is sponsoring a book giveaway for Darnay Road and Finding My Thunder. For two weeks you can enter to win BOTH BOOKS! One drawing, two books.

Paid Reviews vs. Honest Reviews
Does buying a "positive" book review mean that I'm being dishonest to potential readers? I don't know the answer to that. I haven't paid for any book review beyond the cost of sending a copy of my book to someone with the understanding that they would repay me with an honest opinion of my work. …
Music Monday and Some Free Stuff
Some of you might remember this song from Sons Of Anarchy. Joshua James is the artist, and the song is Coal War. It played during the opening montage of season 4: The artist got a lot of exposure from this show. Funny thing is, I had already heard of Joshua James because of a little …
Funny Friday
Half the planet has already seen the video below, but it's not stopping me from posting it. I love when people aren't afraid to make fun of themselves, and as with everything the mysterious Mr. Shia LeBeouf does these days, he takes self-deprecation to a whole new level.
Fan-girling For Art
I don't usually blog about art, though it's something close to my heart. It's not often that I simply run across a piece that speaks to me. But then, two weeks ago, my husband took me to see a local band called We Killed The King. They were really good--mostly instrumental stuff. I'll be getting …
Flash Fiction: Bread Line
“Could you get another one?” She held up the loaf of bargain priced sandwich bread, voice calm, eyes flickering.
The clerk at the register, who’d just finished bagging the groceries, scrunched his brows together. “Ma’am, is there something wrong with the bread?”
The woman was barely a day over twenty-two and wasn’t used to being addressed so formally. She adjusted the ruffled collar of her silken blouse and replied, “Yes. You bagged it and now the slices are all smashed in the middle.” She pointed with a long, acrylic nail painted to look French. “How can I eat it if it’s all misshapen like that?”
A man in the checkout line behind her rolled his eyes. Sadie ignored him, waiting, hoping the checker who was nice enough to call her Ma’am, might be nice enough to let her exchange the imperfect loaf without further explanation. Hope surged within her when…
