Taking a Break from Erotic Romance, back to my Mystery roots!

Tuesday night I participated in a mystery writer panel along with fellow authors Ann Parker (Silver Rush mysteries), Mark Coggins (August Riordan series) and Camille Minichino (Periodic Table mystery series) at the Castro Valley Library.

To the right are me and Ann, while below Ann and I listen in evident fascination to Mark.  And below that you can see throngs (yes, that’s right!  Throngs!) of audience members coming up after the talk to buy copies of our books.  That’s Camille at the far end of the table, btw.  All in all a very satisfying event!

Slowly Returning to Life

I have been taking a well-deserved break from…well…everything except felines, work and my WIP for the last week, but it’s time to get back into the swing of things and start blogging again.

I recently read a novel in which this sentence was used: “He kissed me with his lips.”  Needless to say (but I really NEED to say it!), my first thought was “Well, what the heck else would he kiss her with?”

So I saw my 3 year old niece, G,  a couple weeks ago.  Let me just interject that my niece is an abnormally bright kid, beautiful and perfect in every way.  No, I am not biased.   At any rate, my sis-in-law told me an anecdote where G pooted and said, “My butt blew a kiss!”

Not only was this one of the funniest things I’ve heard from anyone, let alone a kid, but it also answered my question above.

Did I mention I love my niece?  🙂
