We’re hosting New York Times best selling author Eloisa James on Readers Coffeehouse today.
She was our author of the month and she’s giving away eight books! Yes, eight!
Readers Coffeehouse is a place for readers to talk about books (positive talk only, we don’t allow negative comments about books or authors, there is too much stress in the world already) meet authors, recommend books, find recommendations, etc.
My fellow Readers Coffeehouse founding members? Authors Catherine Ryan Hyde, Kimberly Belle, Steena Holmes, Laura Drake, Jo-Ann Mapson, and Barbara Claypole White.
Come and join us!

…this is what a writer does when she cannot think of a single, blasted idea to write about for her next book to save her own silly life and she orders eight cubic yards of dirt and stone to stack in her garden and as she hauls and lifts she mutters to herself that she should have grown up to be a witch or a UFO chaser or perhaps a cat walker or a circus clown because she is clearly more fit for those jobs than she is for writing and then she sits down after hauling all that garden dirt and writes a post with no grammar and this just proves what a nut-case odd duck she is and perhaps it is time to move to that remote cabin in the woods and talk and sing only to deer or friendly raccoon because an idea for her next story just won’t come…

My weekly check to see which of my books are on sale… Julia’s Chocolates ($7.99 on kindle right now) was my first book. If this one didn’t sell, after many rejections, I was going back to teaching school.
This book is for people who would be comfortable reading a scene titled, “Breast Power Psychic Night,” and, “Your Hormones And You: Taking Cover, Taking Charge Psychic Night.”
It’s for people who would like a house in the country painted pink with a black door to ward off seedy men and giant ceramic pigs in the front named for men the owner doesn’t like.
It’s for people who like reading about women whose lives are falling apart, but who still dance with love and hope in their hearts.
I sure as heck am glad it sold. I liked teaching, but it was exhausting.
Happy day to all.

I shouldn’t have made these chocolate chip cookies at ten tonight.
I know I don’t NEED these cookies, but I have little personal control when it comes to overwhelming chocolate chip cookie cravings.
What finally made me grab the vanilla, sugar and flour you ask? What made me give in? A very scientific, fact-based, reasonable and rational prediction. Here it is:
I could get run over tomorrow in my suburban neighborhood by stampeding elephants. On my way up the golden staircase all I would think is, “Damn. I wish I’d baked those chocolate chip cookies.”
See what I mean? Pure logic. So I baked and Innocent Husband and I ate these right up. And we liked ’em.
Wishing you a delicious dessert because you never know when you’ll be run over by stampeding elephants in front of your home.

I am continuing to look for beautifully simple or simply beautiful gifts in nature.
This one is from my garden, too.
Wishing you all a peaceful day.

Okay. The Book Fairy is obviously in action.
A BUNCH of my books are on sale, on kindle, on Amazon.
I’ve never seen this many on sale at once, so the magic stardust has been sprinkled.
They are ALL less than eight bucks.
Yes, they all cost less than two mochas.

My new book, The Man She Married, is out October 30.
A very short summary:
Natalie Shelton is in a coma.
That’s not her only problem.

Today is the day I must absolutely, positively, without a doubt, start writing my new book. Therefore, I am headed out to my garden in my geeky red gardening boots.
Soon I will be covered in dirt, muttering at my hellebore and cursing the bulbs that died this winter. I will be taking control of the weeds and showing them who’s boss. I will whack away at mean bushes that want to take over my yard like cackling dictators.
At the end of the day I will “remember” that I needed to write, and I will slap my forehead in consternation, but I will be “too tired,” and will write tomorrow. I will promise myself this.
Then I will gleefully wonder which new plants to buy this spring…
I am so impressed with procrastination skills. It has taken me decades to get this good. Happy gardening to all!
