The weekend on bed rest gave me some time to catch up on a little reading around the blogosphere, including “What’s Wrong with Sex?” by JA Konrath, one of the powerhouse voices in indie publishing. While Joe’s books themselves aren’t necessarily my cup of tea — because of the genre, not the quality of writing […]
Maybe it’s an occupational hazard (writer + counselor), but I often notice themes emerging in my life and work. Right now one of those themes, especially with my teen and adult female clients, is humiliating experiences. Most often things that might happen, and would be so devastating that the person would never recover. Falling down […]

While we were having breakfast this morning, so was a little red fox in our backyard. And, yes, that IS a baby bunny he’s devouring. Fortunately this time, we did not hear any screaming. Kudos to hubby for cleaning up the mess…
As of this writing, THE MARRIAGE PACT has been out on Kindle for just over two weeks and also just came out on the Barnes & Noble NOOK. So far I’ve sold 37 copies. Not earth-scorching numbers (yet), but what I consider a healthy start for a rookie. Even better, many of the folks who’ve […]
I’ve spent a good bit of time on Facebook in the past couple of weeks, promoting THE MARRIAGE PACT, and it’s had me thinking about how social networking is changing the way we think and talk about relationships. I’ve never been someone who pays a lot of attention to how many FB friends I have […]
It’s been a banner few days at our house. If you’ve read the last couple of blog entries, you know that I somehow managed to wrangle what was a story in my head six months ago into an actual, published e-book yesterday. (The paperback and non-Kindle versions are coming soon.) It might sell 10 copies […]
I spent most of this morning finishing up the formatting for THE MARRIAGE PACT for Amazon Kindle. It’s sort of mind boggling how quickly someone who is reasonably adept at computers can start to feel very old. Five or even three years ago, I would’ve rated myself somewhere around the 80th percentile when it comes […]
We have this cat, Two, who is 13+ years old. She came from a shelter in Portland, Oregon in 1999, when she pawed at me through the bars of her cage and convinced me to look past all the adorable kittens in the next room and take a chance on a seasoned adult with a […]
I’ve noticed that the long gaps in my blogs (such as the one preceding this entry) seem to take place when I either have too little or too much going on in my life. Too little, and I don’t feel I have anything of substance to share. Too much, and I have no time to […]
