On our recent trip to Lancaster, PA, with great friends the six of us made a plan to take a thirty-mile motorbike tour of covered bridges. Fun, right? Well, the three of us women started chickening out at the last minute. It started when we saw the scooters. I don't know what images the other ladies had in their heads about what this scooter would look like, but I can tell you my image was made by Mattel. |

That's what they call us, you know,The Sandwich Generation. We care for our kids and we care for our parents. Sometimes it means caring for a sister or a friend, as well. Right now my sandwich is a triple-decker and I realize it's what's on the menu for me at this stage of my life. There's a bunch of stuff going on in my family's world right now and we're all a bit off our axis. I've been feeling like the guy on Ed Sullivan with the plates on sticks. |

While shopping for a dress to wear to a friend's daughter's wedding I noticed something had keenly changed in the dressing room experience. Back in the day when I was younger and thinner and less, shall we say, lumpy, the ladies dressing room in the department store was a lonely place. The other gals in their respective booths stayed behind their own curtains, they struggled with zippers and buttons alone in their quest. We did not speak or offer opinions or even give eye contact when we passed each other on the way in and out of the dressing room. |

One of the synonyms for the wordboomerangisrebound. Being a member of the largest generation on the planet, the Baby Boomers, I've decided to call this series of articlesBoomerang. One day this feisty group to which I belong was known as the free love generation, the ones that asked if you were "going to San Francisco", those that reminded each other to "wear a flower in your hair." We stood for change, independence, freedom, non-conformity. We walked to the beat of our own drummer, one named Ringo. |

Today I thought I'd say a little something about my tag line...."Romantic Comedies With Heart." To me, comedy without heart is merely corrosive. Comedy has to have a core in vulnerability, just like love. We laugh at situations that we can either identify with or imagine experiencing. We laugh at the unexpected because it hits us when we aren't looking. Think about how sometimes you can't help but laugh at the slapstick antics of that circus clown getting a pie in his face. |

Hi Everyone, I apologize for the delay in posting. There were a couple of big glitches in my schedule, but I'm back and here's what's happening: My next book,Letters and Lace,the first installment of my new series,Postmark: Ronan's Harbor Series,will release in 2013. It takes place in a small seaside village, Ronan's Harbor, and the story revolves around an innkeeper, Sarah Grayson and her her prized "Cornelia Inn." She's in the midst of planning her daughter's wedding at the inn, but when a complaint is filed against her inn's renovations, it stymies the process. |

.Hi Everyone, I'm trying something new and I thought I'd get your feedback. As you know, I write romantic comedies. I'm a hopeless romantic at heart. But, I was also born under the sign of Scorpio. Any of you fellow scorpians out there know we tend to like the mysterious, the unexplained, the spiritual world, tarot, seances, ghosts, and all that's spooky. So, I had this dream that won't leave me alone and thought I'd make it into a story. |
