Change is Good…Right?

By on Saturday, Feb 20, 2016 | 0 comments

It’s called Metathesiophobia, fear of change.   Nick Vinetti, the tough-guy detective hero of one of my favorite Lori Wilde books, There Goes the Bride, had it as a kid. Although he really wanted to learn to surf, he was afraid of the water--of sharks, of drowning, of getting snatched up and taken away from [...]

Hugging Books Goodbye

By on Saturday, Feb 13, 2016 | 0 comments

Most authors have a love affair with books and I am no exception. In the past, I managed to contain my stash under my bed. With the advent of the kindle, my stash became mostly virtual, but I still buy paperbacks of books I love. Let's put it this way:  if I became a sudden [...]
