Blog

This blog will be written to entertain and possibly enlighten other writers in some small way.

I don’t see any books as blog posts, but maybe I’ll find some as the bot told me that yes, often people do write books in blog format.

    Happy Holidays! Al and I are the proud parents of one and a half years old Faye Fey. Absorbed by her antics and buying her everything that was not available to our other cats (RIP Rusty and Lulu and Trixie) like automatic feeders, water fountain, and maybe in future the auto-clean litter box. What a… Keep reading →

  • All the Diets

    There I am eating a fish taco in Malibu many years ago. Was still drinking wine, too. Those were the days (when my gut health was still sturdy enough to allow wine). The topic is not wine, I promise. Nor is it whining. I don’t drink wine and I am fine. I also am vegetarian Keep reading →

  • Slow Writer

    The wine glass is finally empty forever. I may have mentioned this a time or two 🙂 I don’t miss wine as much as I miss my formerly sharp memory. My once lightening-like energy. My superior health. All of these things I miss…when I had them, I didn’t appreciate them. When I thought about slowing Keep reading →

  • Series Continuity

    You might remember that I dropped Jane 3 at halfway point to write a Regency novella after I spied a call for submissions from my publisher. I always planned to go right back to Jane 3 after the Regency was in the pipeline. My deadline is February 29, 2024. And I am done with the Regency. Keep reading →

  • Make That Change

    In the last few months, it has really come home to me that life changes are needed. Like the universe is sending all these messages I can’t quite decipher. The computer has become almost incomprehensible. It’s been difficult communicating via email with my writing group and my editor. Writing a novel in the new Word Keep reading →

  • December Stories

    December is looking good. Got all my decorating done. We have a new tree this year and it is prettiest we’ve ever had. We put it up right after Thanksgiving, which we celebrated twice this year. Once with our Seattle family and once with my dad in St. Pete. It was wonderful to see our Keep reading →

  • Body on the Bayou

    Still following a decision I made a year or so ago: instead of a newsletter, I am going to treat the blog as a newsletter. I have a big list of people who get my blog posts in their mail so I thought it would work. I know of at least four people who keep Keep reading →

  • Pop Culture Diet

    Things take longer to accomplish as you age. I learned this from a book called “Honest Aging” written by gerontolgist Roseanne Leipzig, MD PhD and published by Johns Hopkins Press. I threw all those fancy credentials in there so you can believe that: things take longer to finish/accomplish/do when you get older. Starting at about Keep reading →

  • Jane Chasen is Back

    And today’s headline was how social media is no longer what it was…it’s very awful, apparently. I had totally planned on doing all my marketing online. But now I think, maybe not. I do have a real brick and mortar bookstore appearance on Saturday. Maybe I should line up some more, as this one is Keep reading →
