This is a short, fairly uneventful trip past the Princeton Battlefield and along Quaker Road toward Route 1 near Quakerbridge Mall aka Stephanie Plum territory.

Yes I'm 10 years old at heart

I'm sorry. It's juvenile. I know it's juvenile. But I had to do it anyway.

Maybe dancing is the answer

This made me cry. But in a good way. Let me know how if you feel more hopeful, too, after you watch it.

What's wrong with me?!?!

I can't believe I forgot to mention there will be two more Sugar Maple books. What was I thinking? Was I thinking at all?

Oh yeah. I remember. I collapsed on the floor in a pile of sock yarn when I got the word. No writer ever knit so many socks while waiting for the go-ahead. I think I set a world record.

Now all I have to do is write the books!

Why We Should Wash Our Windshield

The only thing missing is dead bug residue. This is the road we take to get to Princeton, which is about 10 miles or so from home. And yes, it's New Jersey but don't tell anyone. It's our secret.

The Romance Book Club

You'll find a blog post here and another giveaway!

And another stop on the blog tour

You'll find me today (actually yesterday; I goofed up) at Fang-Tastic Books. It's my second visit and I love them this time even more than I did last time. Stop by. You'll find out why I'm seriously considering the witness protection plan.

Blog Tour Begins

We're off and running with the start of my very first Blog Tour.

Today you'll find me at:

1. BlogCritics with an interview

2. The Romance Club with a guest post

3. Dear Author with a "First Sale" guest post

Like I said last week, you'll know more about me when this tour ends than the DH does.
