Well, it’s offiicial. This former half-miler who never ran over a six-mile long run in college or an eight-miler post-collegiately is running a half-marathon. The Rock ‘n’ Roll Savannah Half to be exact. Can you believe it? Neither can I. Especially given the fact that just over three months ago, I could barely run one-mile […]
I have THE BEST volunteer gig, working in the Media Center of my daughter’s school. I could go on and on about why it’s so freakin’ amazing, but I’ve narrowed it down to a new feature on my blog called Five Reasons Why: Number Five: A book nerd surrounded by thousands and thousands of books. […]
So you know how I listen to BBC Radio 1 to stay up to date on new music headed our way. Last week they debuted another single from the Catching Fire soundtrack – Elastic Heart by Sia featuring The Weeknd and Diplo. The first few stanzas of Elastic Heart actually reminded me of Rhianna, but […]
Did you know that October is National Cookie Month? Neither did I, but being that I L-O-V-E cookies, I will gladly join in the celebration! I’ll share some of my favorite cookie recipes throughout the month. And feel free to share some of your favorites with me too! Just post in the comments and I’ll […]
Have you seen the trailer for the new Hugh Jackman and Jake Guyllenhal movie, Prisoners? It’s an intense 2 minutes and 36 seconds. I’m trying to avoid the spoilers. The movie opens tomorrow!! Are you going to go see it? […]
Oh I am in LOVE, LOVE, LOVE with the indie UK trio, London Grammar!! Lead vocalist Hannah Reid has a voice that will totally remind you of Florence Welch and every single track I’ve heard is amazing. Their new album If You Wait is available today!! Lucky for some of you, they’re kicking off a […]
I’m going to let you in on a secret. Well, it’s actually not really a secret because if you check my bio (and practically any author of the female persuasion it would seem) you’ll see that I love all things made of chocolaty goodness. Let’s face it – most females like chocolate. Right girls?! Chocolate […]
Hunter Hayes’ video for I Want Crazy is what I try to capture in the young adult novels that I write. That whirlwind kind of love that consumes you so the other person is all you can think about. It also makes you do crazy things, like sneak into the public pool, or sneak up […]
I’m going to make two confessions. First, I have a thing for audiobooks. I can listen while I’m driving, which is a good and bad thing. Bad only that I still have to pay attention to the driving and sometimes books are very engrossing. Second, my TBL (To Be Listened) stash is ridiculous, so it […]
Pardon the delay in this post…my favorite saying of late is: Life Happens. I won’t bore you with the details other than to say, I’m deep in edits for one of my young adult manuscripts. My day job is insanely busy – so much so that I’m working well over 10 hour days, which leaves […]
