At her birthday drinks she hooks up a 27 year-old, and acquires his brother and mate as well who move into her guest house as they … [Read more...]

As the weekend draws to a close here's a little of what caught my eye in the last 48 hours. Watching Saw Battle of the Sexes the new Emma Stone movie about the 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. Oh what a time it was. Female tennis players paid $1,000 for taking the title while the male champion would take … [Read more...]

We've had a surprise visit from one of oldest friends this weekend. It meant lots of laughing, reminiscing and eating. No really, lots of … [Read more...]

I'm 13,000 words into my manuscript and dreaming about running away from home and locking myself up in a hotel … [Read more...]

We've … [Read more...]
