Zombies

The number one movie in America right now is about zombies. I haven’t seen it yet, but “Zombieland”, starring Woody Harrelson is supposed to be extremely funny. Considering that my next book is going to be about zombies, I have been devouring everything I can get my hands on that has to do with zombies, so I probably will eventually get out to see the movie as well. (Only thing stopping me now is the stupid $10 a ticket when we’re trying to save money for the wedding in 73 days!) I recently finished the book “Dead Sea” by Brian…

Bad Start

Some weeks just get off to a bad start. And once you’re off routine, it’s hard to get back on it. This week appears to be one of those weeks for me. I woke up about 6 am yesterday morning with a terrible back-ache that didn’t really start feeling better until last night. As a result, my routine was totally screwed up yesterday. Then, G had a review session until 8:30 pm last night, so we didn’t eat dinner until late. Rather than cooking something light, stupid me made spaghetti. Well, that pasta sat in my stomach like a bunch…

Dangerous Curves by Karen Anders

Shameless plug here for my critique partner’s new book! “Dangerous Curves” hit shelves October 1st and is book 2 of Karen Anders’ Undercover Lovers series for Harlequin Blaze. Set in Hawaii, FBI agent Max Carpenter is assigned to protect the irresistible DEA agent Rio Marshall. Mostly, he’s supposed to keep her out of trouble and out of the way. Their undeniable attraction, however, leads to plenty of trouble as the two can’t keep their hands off each other. Here’s the blurb from the back of the book: FBI Agent Max Carpenter is assigned to protect irresistible DEA agent Rio Marshall….

Wedding Money

Wouldn’t it be sweet to not ever worry about money? Wouldn’t it be so refreshing to just have enough that you never really had to think about how to pay for the things you needed or wanted? It’s so easy to imagine it, but so hard to make it a reality. October has finally arrived and G and I are only 79 days away from our wedding day. It’s exciting, but scary at the same time. With the bad news this week about my music job plus the fact that I won’t get paid for the whole month I worked…

Job Woes and an Editor’s Passing

Yesterday was a rough day. Out of the blue, my job at the Music Academy is gone. The only reason I even got a job there or was looking for a job in the first place is because G and I are trying to raise extra money for our wedding. Some people think it’s ridiculous that we don’t take money out of savings to pay for it, but there’s something fun about working hard to make that money without taking out loans or anything. With my paycheck from September only days away from coming in, I was getting ready to…

Is Heroes Losing Steam?

Last night was only the second episode of the season, and Heroes was almost putting me to sleep. The whole Sylar toying around with lame Matt Parkman’s mind is already getting old to me. How come Matt is always so weak? He’s got one of the most amazing abilities, but he refuses to use it? His mind is his strength, but he’s incredibly weak when it comes to self-confidence and determination? It doesn’t really make sense to me. Sylar is winning way too easily. Claire jumping out of a window and being seen was interesting at the end of last…
