A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the Pulpwood Queens Girlfriend Weekend (my fourth time) and have been anxious to share my thoughts. Inspired by the biggest football game of the year, it occurred to me there might be a few similarities between the Super Bowl and the most beloved book event of the year – the …
Book Love
I’m a tad late in chiming in with my 2013 Book Love post. Reading has become a bit of a paradox. The author hat I wear gives me exposure to more books and authors just by the nature of the business, but also, as I’m in some stage of writing/editing/promoting a book most months of the year, I have less …
Looking Back at 2013
Tomorrow we’ll put 2013 to rest. It’s hard to believe that in a few short hours, it will be 2014. How has this year been for you? It’s been a mix of triumphs and challenges here which I suppose is a sign that I’m still in the game! I do like to reflect on the past, if just for a …
Putting on the Ritz with a High Tea
Awhile back, Kathy Patrick of the Pulpwood Queens Book Club invited me to come to Jefferson, TX to do an event for her church youth group. I didn’t have to think twice before I said yes! It was a sweet, sweet evening . . . and great fun to be back in Jefferson. The FUMC ladies and Pulpwood Queens of …
Pulpwood Queens – More than just a “Big Hair” Ball
It’s been two weeks since I returned from the Pulpwood Queens’ Girlfriend Weekend in Jefferson, Texas. Much has been written already about this fun, inspiring weekend. Pictures have been posted for all the world to see. Is there really anything I can add? I can only try. First of all, I feel incredibly blessed to have been part of such …
Introducing MOTHER OF PEARL by Kellie Coates Gilbert
Today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to Kellie Gilbert, a debut author and a special friend. We’ve laughed and talked late into the night during our Pulpwood Queen Girlfriend Weekend adventures and spent hours on the phone talking about our favorite authors and writing. It’s nice to have friends like that – those who “get us” and understand …
Lazy Hazy Crazy Days
According to social networking experts, the worst thing you can do is abandon your blog or blog inconsistently. According to mental health experts, you must take time to step away from your life and re-examine once in a while – take a break, so to speak. Hmmm. If you follow my blog, you will see that the last time I …
STARDUST Book Video
In three short weeks, STARDUST will release. I can’t wait for y’all to read it! Everything about this book has been pure delight – from the research trip to East Texas to letting the characters dance onto the pages to seeing the cover my publisher created to holding the first hot-off-the press copy in my hands. It’s a feeling I …
A Time to Play
I’m always a little flummoxed when it comes time to share about the Pulpwood Queens Girlfriend Weekend. So many emotions intertwine over the course of three days that it’s difficult to sum it up in a few words. With this year’s circus theme, though, every time my mind drifts back to that little town in East Texas, I can’t help …
I’m running away with the circus!

THE GREATEST BOOK SHOW ON EARTH in Jefferson, Texas kicks off tomorrow with the Clown Alley Author Dinner. The annual Pulpwood Queens Girlfriend Weekend is hosted by Kathy Patrick – …
