I’ll bet you’re wondering – what happened to Blog-A-Book?  (Heretofore referred to as BAB).  No, it didn’t die.  It simply took a hiatus while I finished a different book, and went to teach at a conference, and while Rachel also worked on a book….   but we’re Baaaack!  With the next installment of the story.  So – here it is, go post your questions and suggests and comments at http://www.mybooktherapy.ning.com/  Chapter 2 discussion!    As I wrote this, I tried to find a scene where we could put Luke and Kenzie together, and I wanted a case of mistaken identity.  Also, I wanted to introduce the idea that meeting a famous woman might be an issue for Luke.  Might try and work that in more as I go.  Also, wanted […]

Well deserved, Susie. They are very prestigious awards. And, as long as we’re here… Love Starts With Elle finaled in the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence as well as  the Ritas. I was on the phone talking with Susie – who was telling me she’d just gotten the Rita call – when call waiting toned in on my phone. It was the Rita coordinator! So, while Sooz was on hold, I was getting the same news she’d gotten a few minutes before. We had a fun time with that one. Keep writing, Voice. There will be more of our Blog-a-Book this […]
