Happy Monday all! And how was your weekend? I spent part of mine with a demon. You see, a friend asked me if I would do him a solid and mind his cat for him this weekend. Now, since it was Thursday evening when this request was made and he was leaving the following morning,…
Author: S. A. Young
One of three writers who are currently collaborating on a series of romantic suspense novels, I'm a cinemaniac, head-full-of-useless-information trivia maven, waiting for Alex Trebek to retire so that I can appear on Jeopardy again. Oh...and Go Red Sox!
Hey, At Least It’s Not Raining!
Usually a good start to my day – any day – since I learned this is what Gerard Butler likes to sing in the shower…I’ll just let that sink in…you’re welcome*. Good morning friends! It’s Monday and that means once again I have the responsibility to start your week off on the right foot. “Responsibility,”…
We Need A What?!
I, like my co-writers, subscribe to a number of writing blogs. We’ve already learned a boatload about what it takes to not only write a book, but to prepare to and then publish it. We’re not even going it alone; there are three of us. I am in awe of those who do and have…
Three Cheers For the Red, White and Blue!
It’s the 4th of July and wherever you are I hope that you’re finding time to spend with friends and family, enjoying parades, baseball and all of the other things that we Americans have turned into our Independence Day traditions (like eating too much and drinking too much). I’m celebrating with some “chosen family”…
Empty Head and Tapping Toes
Look! Shoes! Let me get this out of the way right at the top: I got nothin’. You fine people, still reading this blog, deserve better, but alas I’m stumped. I sit here staring at a blank page not because my Monday post was forgotten, either due to my continued shock at the…
Come We To The Summer*
Happy new week! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend filled with family, either by birth or of the chosen variety, friends and tributes to Dad (even if only in your memory). It’s always hard to feel motivated to start the routine over again, but take heart my friends. This Monday brings with it…
Many Are Called, Few Are Chosen
We three, toiling away on the first novel in our planned series, have come to the point where we’re starting to think about the process of sending our “baby” out into the world. It’s a scary thought, but a very exciting one! And one in which we could use some help. This is where you…
Fill the World with Music, Love & Pride
I I love a Parade. I went to one on Saturday and I really wanted to tell you about it. I’m not really in the mood anymore. I wanted to share with you the delight I always find in the joyful exuberance with which the LGBT community of Boston displays their pride and celebrates…
My Hi-Tech Security Blanket
One day last week I left my phone at home – again. It was only the second time that I can remember having done it since I cut the (landline) cord about five years ago, but I panicked. The forgetting itself made me start to question my sanity and/or my good memory. Was this the…
Potato, Tomato…or Cheesecake?
Happy Memorial Day! While I haven’t forgotten what the day is truly about – remembering those who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice in times of war and its aftermath – it has come to mark the unofficial beginning of summer. With summer comes the urge to be outside in the warmer…
