We were booed last week.
Not “booed” as in jeered at, but “booed” as in treated to a surprise goodie sack.
It was left anonymously on our door handle and contained candy, Halloween-themed puzzles, and instructions on how to boo another neighbor. Booing someone is kind of like a neighborhood chain letter. You’re supposed to […]

Having been a news reporter prior to writing fiction, I think it’s pretty safe to say I’ve written just about everything…
First there were the articles about kidnapping, drunk drivers, crooked officials, dangerous roads, overweight cops, petty thefts, stupid crooks, house fires, and so on & so on. Then, there were the short stories and novels […]

As Halloween is coming up, I thought I’d recommend some of my favorite scary movies — and take recommendations from our viewing audience.
I like scary movies, but I get irritable when the gross-out factor jumps too much — gore is used too often to distract from the lack of plot or decent writing — […]

OK! Filing my report on the Southern Festival of Books late, and for that I apologize. Will try to make it up to you all by sparing no detail in my recounting of the sordid late-night dealings of authors after the VIP reception. Who would have ever thought that….well….no…some things should be kept forever from […]

Shhhh…don’t tell anyone, but I’m not Regina today. It’s her hubby, Michael - you know, the one who’s so good with computers that it was mere child’s play to blogjack her Thursday post and put this in its place?
Here’s the deal - as Regina let all and sundry know last week, it’s her birthday […]

We picked up the game Clue at the store the other day and it’s been quite a hit at our house.
The game board has been updated. The mansion looks pretty swanky now and the little figures are more carefully carved than they were when I played the game as a kid.
I was reassured to […]

For the second week in a row I must leave you in the capable hands of a guest blogger as I adjust to some changes in my life. But never fear, I’ll be back to my old blogging self next week! In the meantime, I figured the GGKFM clubhouse could stand a little guy talk […]

I think my bathrobe has had it.
It’s about seventeen years old now — I’ve had it longer than my house, my husband, or my former day job. It outlived all my plants, dogs, boyfriends — I might wind up buried in it if I don’t act now.
It held up really well. I’m serious. I […]

Apologies. Due to a series of unfortunate events (no relation to Lemony Snicket), I’m wholly devoid of the charm and pith required to write a blog. But I SWEAR that I will return next week with a Virtual Cocktail Party to end all Virtual Cocktail Parties!
I owe ya one…..

I’m a lady with particular tastes. I won’t be happy with just any old thing for my birthday (which I’ll tell you is later this month - just so you have enough time to shop for a great big present for me).
My family knows me very well. They know exactly what will make […]
