Full-Service Grandma
Posted 4/11/2008 - Ebie Brown | 6 comment(s)
I mentioned in my first blog that I have a grandson, Konner. I'm terribly afraid that I've become one of those let-me-show-you-his-picture kind of grandmas. In my defense, I waited a long time for a grandkid--after years of telling my kids not to reproduce on my account, a few years ago I began to long for a new little person to spoil.

Being true to myself
Posted 4/10/2008 - Joy Collins | 6 comment(s)
I have been working on my second novel and lamenting why it was going so slowly. The first one seemed to fly out of my fingers [or at least that's how I remember it]. This one - not so much.
