Okay time out!!!! It’s all my fault. Yes, it is. Today was supposed to be a visit with screaming-funny author, Lexi George. Y’all know I don’t bring guests to the Lair unless I love the books, and I DO love these books. But some stuff happened, and…ahem..well..it’s my fault she’s not here. There was a timing issue. Bottom line? I blew it. *hangs head* She will join us in August and she’ll bring her hunky Dalvahni Demon hunters along with her. So watch for that. But in the meantime… YES! I’m starting a series. I’m calling it Cassondra talks Bandit

There has been a lot of uproar this week about a new ad that Kraft Foods put out. One group called One Million Moms is calling this ad disgusting, and asked what is this selling?. This is the picture for the ad. Now, I’m personally not offended by this ad. I thought it was rather sexy and nice to see a man being sexy for an ad instead of a woman. Would there be such an uproar if that was a woman under the picnic blanket? Somehow, I doubt it. Women have been objectified in ads for years. Many I

Of all the days in the year to celebrate something – usually driven by Hallmark and their cards! – this one is a day I really enjoy. As a romance writer, a wife and a daughter, I have to confess that I love men. As a gender, they’re pretty darn awesome. Most of them look pretty good, and there are some out there that are downright outstanding (The Rock, Sean Connery, Adam Levine, Ryan Gosling, and so on)….Grins. Of course, they can be a pain in the arse end as well. As much as I adore my beloved spouse and my

At this time last week, I was at the beach with two of my best friends, fellow authors MJ Fredrick and Tanya Michaels, for a writing retreat. I started missing the beach almost as soon as I drove away. Here are my top reasons I love going to the Gulf Coast and why I would totally move there tomorrow if I could. 1. The sound of the waves. They’re soothing, relaxing and the perfect background sound for writing. 2. Walks on the beach. They are good exercise, the scenery is different every day because the water and the sky have

One of the things I think is cute is how men think we get all prettied up just for them. Silly boys, we don’t do it for them. We do it for us. Right? At least I do. That’s the part of being a girl I love best, right after great footwear, multiple orgasms and men. Spa indulgences!!! Yep. Spa Indulgences. I love me some spa time. Don’t you? Manicures, pedicures, facials, massages, salon appointments, makeovers (the MAC counter rocks). I was such a spa treatment junkie, I went to beauty school. Not with the ambition to actually work

You’ll have to do the math yourself cause I’m not telling. (Ok, a hint….I recently reached the speed limit of inter-city highways :0) This topic came to mind after I ran into the mother of a elementary school friend. Her first question was “Are you still working?” What? Um, yeah because my Prince Charming with the American Express hasn’t arrived yet….his flight must be delayed. Amazingly, I get this question a lot. Do these people who’ve known me most of my life think I’m that old that I can say adios to the DDJ? Do they think I’ve met the

Some people are lucky enough to be born where they belong. Some people have to look for their place for years & years. Some people get to live in that place that fills up their soul. Most of us just have to visit it from time to time. Some of us get lots of places that feel like home. Some of us get only one. Finding this place is like meeting your spouse. You see it, there’s this electric click & you think, “Mine.” ”Here.” ”This one.” For me, that place is the north shore of Lake Superior. I was

When I was six, my friends and I were tormented daily in the playground by a group of boys who “played” catch and kiss. In those days, I was far more interested in trying out my karate moves on members of the male species than in kissing them. An ambition that got me into hot water one day when our teacher left the class for a bit, having ordered us not to get out of our seats. A boy–let’s call him Luke–bet me I couldn’t karate chop his arm. “I bet I can,” I said, and leapt from my seat
