Landing

So! Phoenix! It’s actually my husband’s doing that we’re here; he’s on a commission, and it’s meeting. I tagged along for the ride. Well, strictly speaking, I tagged along because The Husband got that “can I have a puppy?”...

Situation Normal

My stress test results were “normal.” I’m not sure what that means, exactly, but my doctor seems happy. And so begins the hunt to find out what’s causing my chest pain. While I didn’t have a full-on treadmill stress test, the doctor at...

And Now We Wait

I am freshly back from the hospital and that adenosine stress test. I did not experience any chest pain during the test, which is A Very Good Sign. We (the husband and I) are quite happy about this. We are less happy about the raging headache left by drug they used to...

Morning

See any morning people around here? Yeah, neither do I. For the record, I am a night owl. I do my best writing at about 1 am. My doctor scheduled that adenosine stress test for 8 am. You may laugh, but I’ve had to spend this week walking my schedule back so I...

A Day in the Life — Next Week

Thanks to SH (that’s Stupid Hip, the one that blew when my bicycle flipped out from under me in September 2005), I get to have an adenosine stress test next Friday, because I can no longer walk fast enough or long enough for a treadmill stress test. /le sigh I...

Where Has She Been?

Ummm. It’s been two months since my last post, hasn’t it? [sheepish look] The short answer: I’ve been rather snowed under with Life, Tolari Space, and Everything. The rather longer answer sits on my hard drive (and backed up in the cloud) at 93,292...
Starry Nights!

Starry Nights!

Welcome to the Tolari stop on the blog hop! My offering comes from my upcoming book, The Fall, which will hopefully be out later this year. This tidbit comes toward the end of a scene in which the highly empathic Laura spends all night talking with the man she loves....

What I’ll Do On My Summer Non-Vacation

Two years ago, I started writing The Marann. Little did I know where that would take me! Currently, I’m revising the third book, The Fall, to reflect the changes I made for the Sky Warrior edition of Daughters of Suralia. It’s a lot more work than I...

The Dough of Doom

The Dough of Doom

It’s growing as I type this. At about 4:35p, my husband made sure I was responding to him (because sometimes when I’m writing, it’s hard to get my attention), and left instructions on what to do with this thing: Then he headed out the door. Erm. Yes....
