Favorite Romantic Scene

I was asked by author and agent Deidre Knight to talk about my all time favorite romantic scene from a movie over at her blog. I tell you, it was tough to narrow it down - so many great movies out there. Some favorites are from:

Princess Bride
The Runaway Bride
Casablanca
Pride and Prejudice
Dirty Dancing
French Kiss
Somewhere In Time

So join me over at Deidre's blog here and find out which one I chose, and tell me a favorite scene of yours!

It Was In My Hair!!!

Okay, I've been camping with the kids for seven years now. Never, not once, in all those year has there ever been a mouse in our cabin.

Streak Broken!

The cabins are sealed tight, but it is the wilderness so a mouse in the cabin although not unexpected, is pretty rare. And certainly never in my bedroll!

Asleep, I felt something in my hair. I sat up, did the mouse-is-in-my-hair dance while trying not to freak out children. I must have done a pretty good job because no one but the other adult in the cabin, my sister-in-law, woke up. Somehow in my sleep stupor, I convinced myself I'd imagined it.

When dawn finally broke, I found mouse poop in my bedding. By my pillow. And yes, I suspect in my hair. Being a girl with naturally curly hair, my mom always said I woke up with my hair looking like a rat's nest. It's life's irony to make my mom right, once again.

Luckily we moved to rodent free cabin. This cabin had carpet, that I suspect was older than I am, a beautiful rust colored shag. And I loved every minute of it.

Here's a picture of camp at a more peaceful time. It's beautiful. You can see some of the red dirt and rock Oklahoma is known for.

Sometimes Writing Feels Like This

and it's why I write!

Endless Summer

I'm blogging today over at the Blaze blog about Endless Summer - the anthology I'm in with Julie Kenner and Karen Anders.  This book was so much fun to write, and I can't wait until it hits the shelves.

Check out the blog here.

I'm blogging on the Blaze blog again on the 23rd this month (hope people aren't getting sick of me)  Thinking of ideas right now.  Last time it was the tooth fairy.  

Free Book

Today is National Give A Girlfriend A Book Day - summer is the perfect time to read! 

In honor of this day, I'll give away one of my books to one randomly selected person who comments on my facebook here.  Share a favorite book, say which book you'd give to one of your girlfriends or really anything. I'll draw winner at Midnight and contact winner on the 16th - National Going To The Post Office Day to mail book.

Also, Beth is only processing requests to appear on Author Talk for a few more days.  If interested, go here.

Author Talk at RWA National This Year

Gena and I have been asked if we're filming Author Talks this year again at RWA National, and yes, we are. (Sorry if you've seen this post numerous times, but I'm trying to cover all my bases for information.)

If you are an interested author, you can contact Beth by going here. Just for fun, I'm going to post a video we filmed last year at RWA National with Vicki Lewis Thompson (an awesome writer and a great lady)!
