Today was not a work day. I slept late and met Dale at the Noho Star for lunch after which we were going to go to the Brooklyn Museum where I could research magicians, but when we were done eating, we looked at each other and said, “Let’s walk around.” So we [...]

I flew into New York, if not kicking and screaming, at least whining and pouting because I wasn’t at home working on AKMG, getting stuff done. Then I hauled my weary butt off the plane, got a cab, said, “West Village,” leaned my head back on the seat and thought, as I have thought [...]

I’m writing a ghost story. I’ve never done that before. That means I need to know about ghosts (researching that has been fun) and beyond that, I need to know how to write scary. Not gross-out, not horror so awful you have nightmares for weeks, but good, solid, classy, supernatural, scare-you-enough-to-make-you-think story-telling. [...]

Bob says we’re not going to talk about this book while we’re writing it.
So forget the demons, the succubus, the pizza delivery hooker, Dreamland, Albert, Mary Imogen, Ethan, Screamland, and any anything else you’ve already read on either of our blogs. Wipe it from your mind.
I already have.
Oh, and my notes [...]

I’m in a motel with internet access that is lousy. Therefore this will be fast.
I emptied the coffee strainer.
We drove for ten hours. Bob said, “We could have made it in nine if we hadn’t stopped to eat and go to the bathroom.”
Bob spent the time I was driving playing [...]

I caved on the demons. But no soul-eating.
Veronica and Bob regarded each other with deep suspicion upon meeting and avoided each other after that. Milton follows Bob around like a . . . well, a puppy. I can’t keep him out of the upstairs. Bob sat with Lucy on his lap [...]

The snow melted. I went to the airport and picked up Bob and took him to iHop where I ate everything on the menu since I’d been living on nosh food while I finished up my part of Dogs and Goddesses. Then we went home and Bob did not bond with Milton although [...]

We got slammed again and the dogs love it. I’m praying that it melts before Tuesday afternoon when I have to pick up somebody at the airport. It’s supposed to be 46 then. Fingers crossed.

Well, southern Ohio got hit with a load of snow–Krissie in Vermont is sneering–and I’m trapped in my house again. I freaked because I had to get out to go north to the Ohio Valley Romance Writers meeting tomorrow (Saturday), but then the brilliant Amy Foley e-mailed and said, “Six to twelve inches, let’s [...]

I’ve been obsessed with this Liz Danger stuff, probably because I’m at the point in my real book where I want to club it over the head and make it go away, but I can’t let go of it until it’s done. I’d almost rather clean the house than work on it. Almost. [...]
