Jill McKeel, an ambitious FBI agent, has lofty goals--to protect the innocent, make her daddy proud and to someday become Chicago's top dog. Right now she needs to stop a copycat murderer who has been dubbed the American Beauty Killer. In order to do that, she will have to go back to 1923 to find the original serial killer and she will have to do it in 24 hours. To complicate things, she can't take anything with her that did not exist befor...

Hi Everyone,

One of the members informed me that not everyone could read and comment on the other blog I started for us to get together before the conference. Here's the link to the Google Blog. I'll see if it will work from here. http://crimebakefutureattendees.blogspot.com/

I've had a wonderful response from other future attendees, who are interested in meeting each other ahead of time. I hope you will go to each of their websites and follow their ot...

We're at a great place. Tobyhanna, PA. We're in safe haven. Have to

stay with the trailer (load), but we can walk around or what ever.

There's a great lake and a little wooded area. Lizzie and I got up

early and walked around. She even went swimming. It was so funny. She

ran back and forth along the bank. I'd say "Att" before she jumped in

and she'd run some more. T...

Easily Distracted.

I got up at 4 am thinking I would write on my newest book "Mirror, Mirror, Who's the Deadest of Them All", but I paused to check my email and then I checked the online auction for childhood diabetes. http://brendanovak.auctionanything.com/Home.taf

Since I was in the office, I noticed a couple of stacks of unopened mail. And speaking of unopened mail--does anyone else h...

I'm sure trying. I'm at home today, getting pretty excited thinking that perhaps I'll be able to stay home and write verses being on the truck 24/7.

I'm watching the Grind. I need to get up and move my booty. I love spending my hour with Richard and I thought I'd try this video too.

Today, with my wonderful hubby's help, I'm going to start my revision on "Secret in Grandma's Trunk". I want to say thanks to everyone who helped me with this book. Please also pray that I get an a...

The Muse Online Writers Conference

The ONLY online conference of its kind!

I attended this last year and it was great. Lea does such a wonderful job at everything she does and supports al...

Don't you just hate that saying: "My Bad." Boy, did that one get old quick. But, I am bad. Bad about getting a blog done. I really should keep up on it more.

I'm sooo bad, but sooo good at it. We're in a motel in (get ready) Hawthorne, NV. Can you imagine. Well if you can't... A desert, surrounded by mountains, with constant dust blowing around a desolute little town. No Wallyworld! No a lot of things, but I miss Walmart.

This morning I wanted coffee. It's unusual for mo...

I'm revising my novel now. Woo-hoo. What a great feeling. I've also been studying a book called Word Magic. It has some interesting points. Like mostly the way words sound or the way you write worda that make a connectiona to each other.  It's a  super spiffy book which shows how to relate similiar words and sounds. I'm having fun with my lessons.  

I have a couple of cool people reading my novel and I'm very anxious to see what they have to say. Knock-knock a...

I am one of the very lucky women who has a wonderful husband who shows his love daily in so many ways.
