I'm back!

Oh the trials and tribulations of moving. I could write a book about this move that would be hysterical but then I’d have to weep the entire way through it, which wouldn’t be much fun ;)  But we are moved into the new house, my office is set up and after tomorrow all of the [...]

The year in review (and happy holidays to you!)

I’ve stopped with the whole “nothing can top this year evah!” nonsense. I can remember in 2006, I didn’t think I could possibly ever have a year to top that one. So many good things happened that year after a truly horrible 2005. I was grateful that things turned around so dramatically. Then in 2008, [...]

It's actually…cold!

So we had a freak snow incident a week or so back here in southeast Texas.  It lasted…about four hours and was pretty much gone the minute it stopped.  By the next day temps had warmed up to more balmy temperatures and by two days later it was quite warm, muggy and sloppy again. TWO [...]

Didya hear that sigh of relief way over there?

No more rewriting. This one’s ready to be shipped off. Oldest son’s birthday was Sunday so we went over Houston [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Things are crazy around chez Maya this morning.  It’s my fault because…well, I haven’t been to the grocery store yet. I hadn’t even decided what I was going to cook for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.  Picture me in the middle of the grocery aisles mentally figuring out a menu. Plus fourteen calls to the husband to [...]

The one in which I get a wee personal…

Writing is such a colorful and interesting profession. You meet all sorts of people in the writing community. You meet all sorts of wonderful, fabulous, truly splendiferous readers. You meet other authors, some you’ll remain passing acquaintances with, some you’ll see impersonally, and a few you’ll form steady, close relationships with. I don’t have a [...]
