Happy #MothersDay!

Katie’s babbling finally wound down and she fell asleep on Sophia’s lap, and Martha picked the toddler up and put her in her cot. Sophia stood and stretched legs gone numb, then went out to their mules to fetch what she’d brought for her hostess. “Well, I declare,” Martha said, turning the china teacup decorated with blue flowers over in her hands. “I brought one for Katie, too, for you ladies to use when she’s older. Sometimes it is nice to have something pretty and special that is just for mothers and daughters.” Martha blinked rapidly, then cleared her throat. “You are a thoughtful lady, Mrs. Burrell. I will keep these cups for me and Katie, and when we use them, we’ll think of you.” --The Bride and the Buccaneer     (Winner, First Coast Romance Writers Beacon Award) Here's to all the mothers who have tea parties with their sons and daughters and who get to celebrate their special day today. I still haven't received the diamond tiara I earned for all those years of wiping...

Boskone 62 Panels--February 14-16

I'm excited about my panels for this year's Boskone 62 , New England's oldest and finest Science Fiction and Fantasy convention. I'll be sharing the dais with old friends and with some of my favorite authors and I expect discussions will be lively. As always, life can happen, especially during winter blizzard season. I've been snowed in and had flights canceled, not to mention the year I had to rush home for a family medical emergency (which ended well--whew!) But as of today, this is my current schedule: History is Dangerous Sat 2:30 PM Description: Digging into the past can reveal truths better left undisturbed unless you're a mystery writer. How can the past reveal clues? What dangers lie beneath the surface of the known? And how can a good mystery leave us guessing who really done it? Panelists: Darlene Marshall  moderator Ian Randal Strock  Steven H Silver  Melissa Caruso Badass Woman Characters and Keeping them Off the Mary Sue Scale Sun 11:30 AM Descript...
