Yesterday, I got one of those calls. You know the one. The one that always happens right when you are about to eat dinner. After a slight delay on the line, a woman asked for Mr. Mike Bradley.

He does not want to deal with telemarketers while he’s concentrating on work. So if he’s at his work desk, I always ask who’s calling before passing it on. The woman on the other side …

Today, I received a package from my mom and dad in Sweden. After visiting our new kitchen earlier this year, they decided there were some essential equipment lacking. So, I am now the proud owner of 6 long stemmed coffee measures, 6 long stemmed spoons, and 3 tubes of Kalles Kaviar. Nothing mysterious about any of that, right? Well, one might wonder why they sent 6 measures, but if you knew that my dad retired from a coffee company, you’d understand that this is just a way for him to unload some of the freebies he still has laying around. …

I was around four years old when I learned  to make the alphabet tell me stories. Since then, I’ve been a voracious reader. My small village’s library had a limited selection of books, but I read everything on their shelves. If the book had sentences strung together, I would read it. I still read just about everything: literary fiction, women’s fiction, chic-lit, sci-fi, paranormal, urban fantasy, erotica, thriller, mystery and tons of non-fiction and memoirs. It’s the characters of a book that hook me. I don’t have to like them, but I have to care about their emotional lives or …

In addition to the various online communities I belong to, I have a fabulous local RWA chapter, and I meet weekly with the best critique partners a girl could wish for. The other day, I lamented to my CP Holly that I was feeling a little discouraged with my current manuscript. And maybe a little discouraged about trying to publish in the current market. As usual, she cheered me up with jokes and telling me how talented I am. I’m telling you, everyone should …
