WHY SO EXCITED?

Aren’t you so EXCITED?!  Of course you are!  At least it certainly seems you ought to be, considering that when you skim the news feed on FB, stop by to read a blog post here and there as you cruise through cyberspace, noiselessly tip-toe through twitter, it’s pretty much everywhere. Excitement, and lots of it.  Can we really be this Excited so much of the time?Don’t get me wrong, I’m right there with you…See More

The Best Laid Plans -- Yeah Right

It goes something like this ...When it comes to the nuts and bolts of real life, I can't help but believe that the medicine goes down better when accompanied by a well laid plan spoonful of sugar.  Whether it be a mental list (Bahahahaha, yeah right! What kind've bone-head boob would rely on such foolish tactics!) or a tidy inventory laid out on paper-- complete with bullet points--I'm all about planning.  Not that all…See More

A Peek Through the Keyhole

Not so long ago I came across a ribbon I’d won a bazillion years ago on Field Day when I was in Jr High. It’s a yellow ribbon, which means I won FIFTH place competing in a sport that I obviously wasn’t very good at. I can only imagine I kept this not so impressive reminder because I love the color yellow. Or I’m a masochist.  Or maybe I thought if I kept it pressed in a book…See More

My Life For Sale

MY LIFE FOR SALE  I can't say I knew what to expect with any certainly since I've never had a book published before now.  Still, I did read, research, take notes, make lists, and plan plans.  I didn't fall into anything blindly, but even so, there were, and continue to be, plenty of surprises.Marketing 101At the risk of sounding whiny, there are far, too, many days when I feel like a FOR SALE sign has been nailed like a bullseye smack in the center of my life.Oh, but it all starts out so…See More

Profile Information

Tell Us a Little About Yourself
Author
Brief Biography (Authors Required - Others, optional)
I have been writing long enough that I can no longer precisely recall when or where it all started. Quite simply, I'm sure it was always just there waiting to unfold - the ingrained love of words and their magical ability to draw pictures, create people and places that come to life in sentences filling a blank page.

A native of Millbrook, New York, I am the mother of four very wonderful children and currently live in Chester County Pennsylvania, with my husband James.

The Hair of The Dog

As You May Recall,

I have something of a fascination with Idioms.  You know, those expressions that are near ancient in origin, which we toss out often enough to assure their permanence in the rhelms of common language.  And yet, when we take a moment to think about what it is we’re actually saying, uh well, What actually are we…
