Hey there, folks… I wrote this blog entry a couple of months ago, but wasn’t ready to post it. I finally decided I would probably never be ready and decided to go ahead and post it now. Thanks for letting me share… Humane Society Blessings: The Hellos and Goodbyes of Pet Adoption & Fostering Life is…

Yahoooo! I am big time happy dancing here in Florida! Just found out that my May, Silhouette Desire – PROPOSITIONED INTO A FOREIGN AFFAIR – is #1 on the Borders Bestseller list! If you enjoy a short, sexy read, I hope you’ll check it out. 🙂 Just curious, how many of you read Harlequin/Silhouette shorter…

And now for a musical interlude…

Good morning! and what a great morning it’s already been for me. I started out my day listening to the coolest music. There’s just nothing like a mellow love song! I heard this awesome new tune by The Plain White Ts called “1,2,3,4” and wow, is it ever awesome!! Very Beatles-esque, imho. (Many thanks to…

What would you give up…..

What would you give up in order to buy a book? I heard a stray comment at a conference recetly that really got me thinking. One latte costs the same as a Harlequin book. Two lattes equal a longer book. When I thought about it that way, it was suddenly like, “Wow!” Even with tightening…

I can hardly believe it’s almost time for TWO of my books to land in stores on the same day! HOTSHOT (Berkley Sensation) and PROPOSITIONED INTO A FOREIGN AFFAIR (Silhouette Desire) are both hitting stores on Tuesday, May 2. No matter how many books I have out, I always get a flutter of nerves and…

Don’t open that door! Sounds like a line from a horror movie… and I guess in this case it sorta is. I’ve been cleaning for company all week long and I have no more closets or shelves to hide things. If someone opens the wrong door, things could come tumbling out with as much force…

Yahoo! My dear son ran like the wind at his regional track meet and is advancing to the state level!! Five from his school advanced – four seniors and my sophomore son. I’m so darn happy for him and proud of him. His knee seems to be holding out okay so far, thanks to advice…

Senior Citizens Cane Kung-Fu!

posted on April 28, 2009 by Catherine Mann

Since I write romantic suspense, I spend a lot of time researching weaponry. Add in the military angle in most of my books and I figured I had looked into just about everything. At least I thought so until my critique partner, Joanne Rock, told me about self-defense classes for senior citizens using their canes…

6,800 Text Messages

How many text messages do you think an average teenage girl can send in a month? We went to unlimited texting about a month ago and holy cow, were we ever surprised when we at the answer. Our youngest daughter sent 6, 800 text messages. We would have her cut back except she makes straight…

Quick yahoo before I head off to sleep! Am so happy and proud! Dear son #2 was able to come back from his knee injury and progressed from the district level track meet to the regional level meet!! (Doctor said he’s cleared to run – it’ll just hurt. ;-/
