Let’s Talk About Interns
Apr 02, 2015
Lately I’ve been obsessed with the Simon and Schuster Internship Lawsuit. The whole thing really bums me out. For those who don’t know about these suits (S&S is the most recent in a long line), I’ll attempt a very quick recap. For the past few years a number of media and entertainment companies have faced lawsuits […]

An Interview with Jessica Faust
Mar 31, 2015
I do a lot of interviews, many with a lot of the same questions. Every once in a while one stands out as just a little different with questions that will give the reader, hopefully, something she hasn’t heard a million times before. Anna Katmore held just that kind of interview with me and for […]

Stacy Henrie’s Cozy Reading Corner
Mar 27, 2015
My favorite place to read is curled up in bed, in spite of comfy chairs and couches elsewhere in my house. Whether snatching time during the day or at night after my kids are asleep, I love to climb in bed with a good book. Typically that means an inspirational historical romance. And speaking of […]

How to Slay a Gremlin
Mar 25, 2015
There’s a monster hiding under my desk. He lurks there, waiting for the right moment to attack. He’s an ugly little bastard, too. I have a lot of names for him, but for the sake of not overusing profanity in this blog, I’ll call him by his real name, Self-Doubt. Most of you might […]

Mar 24, 2015
I came across this article in Fast Company about the Complaint/Restraint project. In an attempt to create more positive lives, Thierry Blancpain and Pieter Pelgrims agreed to stop complaining entirely for one full month.

Bill Crider’s Cozy Reading Corner
Mar 20, 2015
This rocking chair belonged to my grandmother, and you can see behind it a small portion of the reading material I’ve accumulated to read while I’m sitting in it. It’s quite a comfortable chair and even has a little footstool that matches it. The footstool, I have to admit, didn’t belong to my grandmother. It […]
