Great Plays!

Feb 21 2012, 9:54 am

Saw two great plays in the last week.  The first was “Dixie’s Tupperware Party.”  It was an actual tupperware party hosted by a drag queen in heels and apron.  It was raunchy, irreverent, and politically incorrect – in other words, hilarious!  The other was “The Sports Page” at Stage West in Fort Worth.  If you live in north Texas, I’d definitely recommend going to see it.  It was funny and engaging, with great characters you will find yourself rooting for.  Although it’s entertaining, there’s some subtle depth to it, too, and a very relatable theme of trying to chase your dreams and find your place in an ever-evolving world.  Playwright Larry Herold has a real winner in this one!  Check it out at:  http://stagewest.org/

I Love My Street Team!

Feb 12 2012, 12:20 pm

I recently started a “Street Team,” a group of book lovers who graciously offered to help spread the word about my novels.  Such wonderful women!  I’d love to introduce you to some of them.  

This is Dru, who loves to "muse" about books!

Dru is an avid book reader on who lives on the East Coast. Her day job as a research analyst keeps her in books that she loves to buy and read. When not reading, she’s creating quilts, listening to music, watching TV crime dramas or mysteries, and traveling when she can.  Dru also hosts a reading blog where author’s protagonist tell her readers about a day in their life.  Check it out at http://www.notesfromme.wordpress.com!

More Books!

Feb 8 2012, 4:21 pm

Looks like there will be three more Tara Holloway books!  I’m so excited!  We’re hammering out the details now, but it’s looking like there will be a novella between books #3 and #4, with Book #4 coming out in February of 2013 and #5 and #6 following at four-month intervals thereafter.  I can’t wait to get Tara in lots more trouble . . . : )

Loving the Superbowl commercials!  The M&M take on LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It” was a hoot!  Hope you all are enjoying the game!

Beautiful Weather!

It was gorgeous today!  Sunny enough to work outside on the patio.  Of course we’ll pay for this great weather this summer when the temps will soar, but it sure was nice to enjoy the sunshine today!

Ask a Stupid Ass Question!

Armchair Activism Works!

Jan 4 2012, 6:34 pm

The heroine of my Death and Taxes series, IRS Special Agent Tara Holloway, has a soft spot for animals.  I admit this personality trait is a more than a bit autobiographical.  The great thing about the internet is that it has made it so easy and quick to be an armchair advocate for animals.  And this kind of advocacy works! 

Many animal welfare groups have automated email subscriptions for people who’d like to be an armchair advocate.  They send you the information, you click a few buttons, and voila!  You’ve made life better for animals!
