Feeling My JOY!!

Posted on April 22, 2012 by Stephie

This has been an exciting week for me because I finally pulled everything together and published my book, Duke of Deception. And I sold over 400 copies this week. Better yet, I received emails from readers who loved it and that’s really where it’s at. That’s what I write for, anyway, to bring others joy or satisfaction or whatever good feelings they get out of reading what I write. A friend once told me I … Continue reading →

Dreaming of George Clooney

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Stephie

Last night George Clooney came to me in my dreams. Well, he didn’t come to me. He was just there. Sleeping. On the couch. In his underwear. WHAT? you must be thinking. You dream about George Clooney but he’s asleep on the couch wearing clothes? Yes, that’s right. He’s sound asleep (doesn’t even know I’m there), wearing a t-shirt and boxers. And there’s no room on the sofa for me. This is pretty much the way … Continue reading →

Things Happen For A Reason

Posted on September 12, 2011 by Stephie

I decided to fix my broken washer, or at least troubleshoot it in case I could fix it. The fixing part didn’t happen because like so many things I try to do as a homeowner, it came down to having strength. I couldn’t turn the washer over on its side to check the voltage of the drain pump, so all I really accomplished was draining out the water, learning how to remove the back plate … Continue reading →

Waking Up With the Duke by Lorraine Heath – 5 Stars!

Posted on September 8, 2011 by Stephie

This is the kind of book that makes me love the historical romance genre. Lorraine Heath has been a favorite writer of mine for some time, and she confirmed her status with Waking Up With the Duke. This is one of my favorite historical romances. The plot was unique and I loved both the hero (Ainsley) and heroine (Jayne). I thought Ms. Heath did a brilliant job of setting up the interaction between the H/H. … Continue reading →

It’s MY Cancer and I’ll Cry If I Want To

Posted on August 17, 2011 by Stephie

Not that I’m crying. I haven’t yet and I may never. Or I might. It depends on what happens and how I feel about it. Or just plain how I feel. The point is, this is my cancer experience and I should be allowed to get through it the way I want to, assuming that what I want isn’t illegal or doesn’t hurt anyone. And when I say doesn’t hurt anyone, I mean physically. Because … Continue reading →

The Dougherty Gang – Debunking the Myths

Posted on August 11, 2011 by Stephie

Every time I hear a news report about the Dougherty Gang, I end up changing the channel in disgust. I realize that the media sensationalizes everything, but these half truths are so destructive to the futures of these three kids that it infuriates me. I know Lee Grace—albeit slightly, but other family members know her well—and she is not the kind of person the media and law enforcement purport her to be. Sure, what they … Continue reading →
