On the road again!

Off to Toronto tomorrow for a meeting with my wonderful new publishers, Harlequin.
I'll be home for one day, then off again, this time to Tennessee, to hook up with Peggy Knight (My 32 Years in the House of Cash) and my long-lost cousin, Doris. If you hear a lot of laughter in the hallways of the Opryland Hotel, that will be us!
I'll have tales to tell when I log on again on November 1.
See you then.
In the meantime, happy trails.

Peggy Knight's Book

My friend Peggy's book, "My 32 Years in the House of Cash", will be available any day now. Okay, so it's MOSTLY about John and June Cash, but there's something about me in there, too! Can you believe it?

Poisoned Pen

I'll be at the famous Poisoned Pen Book Store in Scottsdale at seven pm Monday night, the 18th. Stop by and say hello.

The new moon

You never know what to expect here!
Today is the new moon.
It's a powerful time to make wishes.
Write them down.

I met a soldier...

On the plane up to Washington State on Friday morning, I met a young soldier, on his way for a visit with his girlfriend before leaving for his second tour of duty in Iraq. He was well-mannered and quiet, just looking for a kind word.
Whatever your opinions about the war, be kind to the soldiers.
They are somebody's baby boy or girl.
Say a kind word. Pick up their lunch check. Let them ahead of you in line.
We have a great deal to be grateful for in this country, and those brave children are one of the main reasons we're still here.
Please, God--let them all come home.

Roots

There is something so powerful about going back to where you came from, and touching base. Hearing the stories again, being with the star players.
It's all good.

Family Reunion Time

I'm off to Colville, Washington, for the annual Lael Convention. What a crew!
I'll be back online Monday morning.
Have a great weekend, and if you have Monday off, good for you!

Double-header on Dog!

Yeehaw and whoop-dee-do!
I did enjoy that mace battle.
Must be my Clare side coming out.
You can take the girl out of Northport....

Clare finds another body

But this one, for just the briefest flicker of a moment, looks exactly like her....

Friday!

Whoopeee!
I'm going to hear Dr. Joe from "What the Bleep Do We Know?" tonight.
Have you seen the movie?
If you haven't, you should.
Have a good weekend, all of you.
Read a great book.
