But Wait, There’s More!

Aug
30

The animal population is ever expanding here on the farm. Latest addition–Dookie! (Pictured here with my daughter and one of our new kittens, Sugar–yes, this is Sugar #2, for those of you who remember our first Sugar.) A ten-year-old shih tsu adopted from a friend. He is old enough to be calm and potty-trained. He came with his own doggy bed but he likes my daughter’s bed better! He has come to a truce with the cats…. Finally! Though he did chase Buttercup all the way around the farmhouse and onto the chicken coop the other day…..

I’m sorry I’m late posting the winner! My book is due TODAY! I’m feeling slightly CRAZY!!! I’m still working on it but will be emailing it to make my deadline later this afternoon. Wish me luck! I’ll be able to get back to daily blogging once the book is out the door, I promise! :yes:

For now, the winner of last weekend’s Free Book Friday is–Page! Email me with your autographed pic from my contemporary backlist!

Free Book Friday:  Favorite Thing in Napa

Aug
25




Napa Valley! Okay, to prove I am completely weird, the most exciting thing in Napa was that one of the wineries gave out magnets. I’m a fridge magnet collector. Have to get a magnet or ten everywhere I go. HAVE. TO. I’m on a mission for magnets.




In other news, the Napa Valley is BEAUTIFUL. You drive into the valley and suddenly there are grapes. Everywhere. Miles and miles of vineyards. And yes, I picked a couple grapes and ate them. You’re not supposed to do that. Shhhh.




And so many beautiful homes and wineries. You drive up, go up to the reception building, plunk down some money and they hand out samples of all their wines. I wanted to live there forever. :wink:

You got a magnet fetish? What’s your weird thing you have to do everywhere you go? Leave me a comment and one random comment number will be drawn to receive an autographed book from my contemporary backlist!

I’ll be back on Monday with kitten pics and the winner!!!! School starts Monday!!!!

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
