Post #160: In which I whine an awful lot and then try to learn something

posted on 05/22/2012

Did you ever have one of those weeks? I did. Week before last, actually. Some people would say, “when it rains it pours.” I would say, “it felt like our house was on a vortex of crap.” Those of you who have or have recently had preschool-aged children understand that once your kid goes to […]

A Word About Ethics and Title Confusion

posted on 04/17/2012

I remember distinctly how I heard about Jeffrey Eugenides’s Pulitzer-Prize winning novel, The Marriage Plot. I was in Target with my boys last fall, probably trying to keep one of them from destroying a rack of clothing and the other from screaming his newborn head off while we finished our shopping. We rounded the corner […]

Whew! It was just over a week ago that I decided to try the experiment of putting my first novel The Marriage Pact on a free promotion through amazon’s new KDP Select program. I’d just read this blog post by Will Entrekin, and it got me thinking about whether a free promo might be a […]

Stranger than Fiction (Parts Three and Four)

posted on 03/26/2012

This is a continuation from the previous blog entry about a week I couldn’t have made up if I’d tried. It will make more sense if you read that one first.Part Three: Situation Comedy After Tuesday’s crisis, you would think I’d had enough drama for a good long while. Apparently, there is never enough drama […]

SERIOUSLY Stranger Than Fiction (Parts One and Two)

posted on 03/23/2012

Part One: Prayer I’ll be honest: prayer has never been a big thing for me. I spent most of my formative years as a staunch agnostic (yes, that probably is an oxymoron — decidedly undecided). For many more years I was a kind of spiritual wanderer, searching for a home. Now that I’m happily settled […]
