Friday Finds

Ciao, amici! This week's final post will be short and sweet. Well, maybe not sweet. But definitely short. At least, shorter than usual. I'm babbling. Anyway... I've had my share of challenges in the last few months. Most recently, my son celebrated his 22nd birthday, and it was the first of his birthdays that I …

Ciao, amici! How was your week? As you might guess from my quote of the week, mine was exhausting. And I wasn't even on "vacation" so much as just taking some much-needed mental health days. And then I got stuck with a forced technology break. I need a non-stressful time-out. I just can't afford it …

Friday Finds

Ciao, amici! How was your week? After one of the worst migraines I've had in years left me locked in a dark bedroom most of the weekend (when I had planned to write, darn it), I started catching up on missed messages early Monday morning. I had missed not one editing project, but two. And …

Ciao, amici! How was your week? Mine was a little bumpy, but that seems to be the case for many of my friends. Like my grandma would say, there must be something in the water. I hope your week was better than mine. My days alternated between scrambling in a hurry and waiting impatiently. I …

Ciao, amici! How was your week? Mine was a mixed bag. I started rolling out some new features on my blog and hope to continue that next week. Every day, Monday through Friday, now has a theme, though I'm willing to preempt days (primarily Tuesdays) for promotions. I'm taking weekends off. No posting, no reading …

I'm adjusting my blog calendar a bit and thought I'd change the title of Friday's links posts to something a bit more manageable. But I'll still have the quote of the week, a brief rundown of …

Ciao, amici! How was your week? If you read my Tuesday post, you know I had a release---one I wasn't expecting and had to hurry to prepare for (The Scout). But that actually wasn't my biggest accomplishment in the last seven days. That honor goes to Astral Conspiracy Series Book Two. (I'll be revealing the …

Take a Little Trip with Me?

Ciao, amici! I hope you all had a great weekend. I ended mine preparing for a little trip. Packing, setting timers on the lights, stopping the mail... Okay, that's not true. I'm not on a literal trip. I'm on a virtual one. And I hope you join me. Know her as Judith Post, urban fantasy …

Ciao, amici! How's it going? I've seen some wonderful vacation pics from a few of you. I hope you're all enjoying your summer. I was not on vacation this week. (Or at all this summer.) And it's either been too rainy or too hot to use the pool. (Yes, it can be too hot to …

Ciao, amici! Happy Friday! I'm glad you're here. I know it's sometimes hard coming back to a full week of work after a holiday, and by day five, you're exhausted. So thanks for sticking it out and visiting today. I got a lot done this week. New words written. Outlines completed. Documents edited. I admit, …
