New Cover Reveal!

So, remember that reunion trilogy I've been working on lately? I just got the first cover. Most Likely To Succeed will be available from Carina Press in March 2013.

Weekend = made.

Love, love, love it!

Shout Out to OHS Class of '87

So I just got back from my 20th class reunion weekend. Left the hubby and kids at home and headed back to the old stomping grounds


It was a great weekend, all told, and I had a wonderful time. It was great seeing so many friends and acquaintances, some of whom I hadn't seen since graduation. There was a very nice dinner, and lots of great '80's music, though I was so busy talking to people I didn't manage to make it out onto the dance floor.


I also managed to drop by the local mall, and convinced the bookstores there to order in Tease Me, Please Me, so it'll be on the shelves instead of requiring a special order. Yay!


It's been a long, long time since I've been somewhere completely on my own, without kids and husband around. I missed them, of course, but for a short while it was nice being responsible only for myself. I could roll in at 2 a.m. and not worry about worrying anyone. :) (I think it's been almost twenty years since I had breakfast at Shari's after midnight. I probably shouldn't make a habit of it!)


So to Guy and Kirsten and the rest of the committee, thanks for a wonderful weekend. To Heather, thanks for being such a great promotions director. To Mom and Dad, thanks for letting me crash at your place. Jona, I've still got your book. I'll find a way to get it to you.


Everyone else, it was wonderful seeing you and catching up. Let's not wait another 20 years before we do it again.


Oh, and Scott? E-book reader. Seriously. I'm begging you.


So how was your weekend? Do anything fun and fabulous?

Sigh...

So I got my hair cut today.

Big deal, right? Well, I'm known for going serious lengths of time between haircuts. As in, I can usually donate to Locks of Love once I get around to a trim. :) With three kids, a day job, and the writing, regular haircuts fall by the wayside. I go for classic, no-layer, easy to maintain looks that can survive a long time between cuts.

This time, though, was different. I'm going to my class reunion next week and wanted something that had some style to it, something more than my usual "put it up in a ponytail and call it good" look.

And so far, I hate it.

There's nothing actually wrong with the cut. The stylist did exactly what I asked her to do. I just realized, after leaving the salon, that I'm not that person anymore. The cut doesn't fit me.

It's not hideous. Actually, it's a classic mid-jaw length bob. It looks fine. It just doesn't look like me--at least not yet.

I'm hoping I'll grow into it. (Hah! Pun honestly not intended.) In any case, I'm not interested in going any shorter to change the look. And I have a feeling I'll get used to it pretty quickly.

I may even like it. Who knows?

So, anyone else having a bad hair day?
