For the past several years, I’ve been doing annual reviews of my life and work, based on the format from Chris Guillebeau’s wonderful Annual Review on his blog, The Art of Non-Conformity. Chris’s system is exceptionally detailed, more so than I really need, but the gist is there. It’s a great...

People always ask what was my favorite book to write. And I always reply, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the one I just finished. Which stands to reason, considering I've lived, breathed and slept the story for the previous four months to a year, depending.
EDGE OF BLACK, though, was the fastest...

October already? How is this possible???
Well, it has been quite a day! Amanda Knox has been freed from jail in Perugia, Italy, which is very heartening. I admit shutting things off for an hour to watch the verdict - it is so good to see justice done here. I am a firm believer that she was...

I started writing WHERE ALL THE DEAD LIE September 14, 2009.
I’d just returned from vacation, and had an unbelievable amount of work on my plate. I was getting ready to shoot the video for the OWN Network, so my thoughts were not exactly on writing as much as what I would wear. I was revising...

So much to do, so little time.
We are finally home. It's raining and cloudy, a little cool. The cat has taken up permanent residence in my lap, and I'm plowing through a to do list that longer than my arm. The new book launches in just 15 days, which means between now and 9.20.11, there are...

My post from Murderati today: CLIFF JUMPING? HELLS, NO!
Back in January of ’09, I wrote a post here called Cliff Jumping – not about actually jumping off of cliffs, but about seizing your dreams. About not letting fear get in the way of your career. About taking chances.
I’ve been feeling...

Hidy-ho!
Hope everyone made it through the hurricane okay. What a storm! Sending prayers and good thoughts to those who've been hard hit.
Technically, I'm on vacation this week. Anniversary time means work stoppage in our house. Which also means a bit of bloggus interruptus, so forgive me if...

Scrambling around today, picking up the pieces of my life that have been neglected while I was absorbed in finishing the book. Also catching up on my RSS feeds, dragging myself slowly back to the now. While I was going through them, a new Balls of Steel by my friend Jeanne Veillette Bowerman...

It's done.....
Done, and sent, with it's brand new ending, to New York, where I now cross my fingers that my team likes the changes I've made, and we can go straight to copyedit.
(Snoopy dance....)
Well, not Snoopy. The Charlie Brown Christmas special dance - you know the one....
That...

So close to being finished I can taste it. I've been in the same position for about six hours, I think. (creak) I want to be done so badly that I'm making myself stop, so I don't rush the end. A great work day today - I think by the time I'm done I will have added a lean 5,000 words to the book...

Solid work day today. More than halfway through the revision, still on schedule for turning in Wednesday. Got the excerpt for WHERE ALL THE DEAD LIE, if you're interested in reading it. Gnashed my teeth at the sandwich book, though Thursday, it will be mine.
So.... Rachel asked what turned me into...
