SMELLING ‘ROSES’ …

YELLOW IN WIND.JPG

Pardon me while I enjoy the wildflowers. They’re here for such a short while. Got me thinking how different my home will look in another three months or so … when my book comes out ;). Nothing like the seasons to remind one how transient things are. Yet how consistent … Oy … .stop me! There I go again!

I’m still deep into my reading pile — trying some wonderful authors for the first time. Among them: Harlan Coben, Peter Straub, John Sandford. What? No romance, you say aghast!!?? No, but these guys can really move their readers — make ‘em scared, make ‘em feel … and apart from pleasure, it helps to study the bestselling masters, no? Well, that’s my story. And I’m sticking to it.

Oh … and a quick thank-you to Nicole Burnham for introducing my youngest to romance. Thanks to ‘Niki’s’ pacey, fun YA romances, DD#2 — a dark fantasy and science fiction junkie — has expanded her scope and lovin’ it! And she’s probably hooked for life. You’ve done your bit for our genre, Nicole. Good on you!!!

    I like Harlan Coben and have been tempted by John Sandford too. Always good to read across genres–especially the bestsellers!!!


  2. Toni Anderson Says:

    oooo–pressed the button too soon.

    yeah for DD. Hope she likes it :)


  3. Meretta Says:

    I haven’t read many Harlen Coben’s. John Sandford, hmmm? Don’t you know my TBR pile is already teetering, Loreth? ;)

    YAY for DD. It’s awesome to see kids reading. THere’s nothing like a great book. :D


  4. Bailey Stewart Says:

    Scary huh? Have you tried Thomas H. Cook?

    I can’t wait for the season to change because its so dang hot here! Really! Honest! :)

    Did you know I can’t see any of the pictures on your blog? Is anybody else having this problem or is it just another extension of my week?


  5. Loreth Says:

    Oh Bummer — is anyone else having trouble seeing the photos?? Pleeeze let me know.

    And duh Bailey .. I think she means ‘cool’ as in ‘hip’. Is Texas hip?? LOL maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Atlanta is REALLY HOT :)

    going to search for Thomas ….


  6. Loreth Says:

    So, Bailey, can you see that a pic is SUPPOSED to be there … or just nothing at all?? Ack, that might mean my posts make little sense because I like to tie them into the photo.


  7. Toni Anderson Says:

    I sometimes get no picture (none this time) but when I post a message the picture appeasr–behold :)

    not this time. Roses are missing!!


  8. meretta Says:

    Nothing for me at the moment. Roses or otherwise.


  9. Bailey Stewart Says:

    Oh, Texas is hip because I’m here. :)

    Just a box with a red “x” in it.


  10. Toni Anderson Says:

    Oh man–I don’t have a red X.

    :(


  11. Toni Anderson Says:

    Yes!!
