Saturday 17th July 2010, 6.30pm: Reluctantly I drag myself off my sun-lounger and back into my loggia; the sun is now dipping behind the roof of a house that sits diagonally to my sun spot at the end of my garden by my loggia*. It’s bloody irritating. I wish I could level that house or [...]
Just back home from UK after spending some time with my father in Crewe, a railway town, 4 miles from Nantwich, an old Roman salt mining town, in the heart of Cheshire. (Spent a weekend in London during that time with my daughter Emma. We had great fun! … Next blog) I kissed my dad [...]
“You never ever have to ride again, BUT today you ride!” (a quote by my father Martin Mulroy) I have been spending time with our little readers and future writers lately. One of those talented little people, reminded me of why I wrote a particular manuscript in the first place. It’s over 30,000 words, finished, [...]
Beautiful Scenery, Bike Ride & Tears….Seriously! Funny thing about being a parent, sometimes your kids are impossible to please! It’s not often in Texas, in June, the temperatures are cool enough to enjoy outdoor activities unless it’s by the water, and for us that’s a delightful 80 degree range, give or take a few degrees.

We become friends for life with some of them and we part with other after a first conversation or meeting, because we [...]
: Is it a Fairy Tale? While I was doing a signing for one of my books, a woman passed by, picked up my romance novel, and immediately wrinkled her nose. “I don’t read these kinds of books,” she said. “What do you read?” I asked. She slapped the book down on the table as [...]
It is a life long goal for every individual to be happy. Something so simple that seems so easily ascertained is typically the one thing that most people commonly fail at. What makes us happy is a question that has no specific answer. Each individual will set different goals that they feel will accomplish the [...]
There are so many misconceptions involved when it comes to the word, “Dieting”. More and more everyday obesity in America is a growing problem, no pun intended. Women and men have great anxiety over their appearance. The anorexic Hollywood types brand an image in our heads as to what the society deems attractive. Often when [...]
When I was younger, I once asked my mother what the best part of her day was, and without second thoughts, her answer was – every second that you call me because you needed me. I found it absurd knowing the fact that almost every minute we would call her to fix things for us, [...]
