January 31, 2018

Short heart-wrenching true love story… Once upon a time, my best friend and I were at a subway terminal and we saw a young couple clutching each other, sobbing uncontrollably.

Hanne confesses: For some reason I just remembered I used to secretly read my mother’s romance (and my dad’s western) paperbacks back in the 80’s when I was way too young for them.

Happy Halloween! So, hey! I have a ghost story for ya… (my trip to the RT Book Lovers Convention 2015 – Recap Part 3…)

October 31, 2017

It’s true. A real life one. One that is long overdue to be told, in fact (you’ll see part one and part two of that author signing trip here – part 2 gets spookier ), but it’s part three (THIS post) that had the real spook-factor. The evidence, if you will. Now of course, there [...]

October 11, 2017

Oh yes… it’s another one of my own personal “reader confessions”. But I think this one is long overdue. R.L. Mathewson wrote a heartfelt post on my personal Facebook page that had me in tears. And so… I had to tell her (and now you all)… …this: To R.L. Mathewson: Okay, I’ll confess how you [...]
