Hello, stranger. It’s been a while. I hope you’re all enjoying the Thanksgiving weekend. It’s hard to believe that almost a year has passed since my last post. So much has happened that I hardly know where to begin. What a year it’s been! I often remember encouraging you all to close your eyes and…
Here’s a quick update from somewhere nice and warm! Thought I’d stop in for a brief catch up – life has been so crazy busy lately, but I’m not complaining. The publishing world works in funny ways -what I’ve learned in the past ten or so years, is that one must just keep at it,…
Merry Christmas, dear readers! As I write this, I imagine you all as we are – filled with delicious food and desert and wine and plopped down in front of the television. My son is home from Denver and has declared a “History Week”. As it stands, we are watching Gladiator (we watched this in…
Happy Sunday, everyone. I’ve lost my husband to Football season, the sun is shining despite the high winds and I’ve locked myself inside my home as ten wild turkeys circle around my yard, waiting to eat me. Somewhere Along the Way released last Tuesday, September 24 while I was at my nephew’s wedding in Vancouver….
Welcome to Summer! Since our last blog entry, I’ve celebrated my 60th birthday, vacationed in the Philippines, traveled for work to New York and Toronto (more than once), received the award of my life, spoken at a Youth Leadership Conference and finished my latest book! Needless to say, I am so ready for an uneventful…
I’m so excited for my one and only tour this year! I don’t really know what to expect. Most of this was planned by my close friend, Magda Lopez. It started out a few months ago, when I met her at the Soho House Chicago. She read the book, loved it, and said, “Miami needs…
Interestingly enough, I’m channeling a little bit of “Insipid” right now as I write this post. We’re just settling down this week after a few days at the beach. It was a celebration on so many levels, time we needed away to relax and regroup after what felt like a really long winter and a…
No way, they’re not going to take this sitting down. The CBPH group under their fearless blog bosses Rafael Borja and JM Cabral, hosted a Blog Tour of their own. Click on the links below…..it is such an honor to be loved by my homeland. Maraming salamat with so much love. The Polar Bear Reads…
Thank you, Cris Soriaga Hadarly from The Book Avenue for hosting the U.S. Blog Tour for Release Day! Over 30 blogs signed up to join the tour and In this Life is still rating at close to 5 stars! I am so humbled by the love and the time that all of the bloggers have…
The first time I released a book, I took the day off from work. I decided to go for a quick run while Amazon was publishing it on Kindle. Intent on only going four miles, I stopped at the end of the run to take a call from my friend Melissa Brown. “It’s Live!” she…
