Yep, that’s a pejorative term in the Regency. It means you’re stupid. Not sure how it came to be, but it has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? Anywho, it’s time to play “Historical. Really?” again. Last time we did, I offered several words and asked you to choose which ones might have [...]
Shhhh, my sweet little poppinjay. Don’t say a word. Just look. No, no! Don’t try to explain it. Ssssssssavor. Some things were meant to be seen, and not heard. With a view like this, who needs surround sound? FROS (For Refreshment Only Sunday) whispers a few more sweet nothings to Henri Castelli, Brazilian model and [...]
Whew! February has been an exciting month, hasn’t it? Our fabulous 4th anniversary celebration (I’m still finding confetti in the corners!), Valentine’s day AND most of all some exciting Goddess book releases. How to Woo a Reluctant Lady (1/18) by Sabrina. A Light At Winter’s End (2/22) by Julia. To Desire a Wicked Duke (2/22) [...]
Last week, one of my friends got her fingers caught in her electric garage door just as it opened. She wasn’t in pain, but she couldn’t get out. Nor could she reach the button to stop the door from opening. So, the door lifted her up off her feet until only her toes were touching [...]
My new book goes on sale today! This is the third book set in Cedar Springs, and it is about two sisters who are embroiled in a terrible conflict, and the lonesome cowboy who unwittingly steps into the fray. That cowboy is Wyatt Clark, whom you may recall was the husband Macy didn’t choose in [...]
This is David Gandy (aka Freshechelle’s David Gandy), generously brought back to light by our beloved fellow goddess Judy. (Thanks, Judy!) Look at David; he’s chillaxin’ on his boat. He’s a male model, you know. And an actor. Oh, and he blogs for Vogue, too. Gotta love a man who knows his pinstripe from his [...]
Shortly after my first book came out, I got the “someday I’ll be able to say I knew you when” speech quite a bit. It was a compliment, I know; in my own mind I imagined that the “when” would be my first time on the New York Times bestseller list, or when my first [...]

A few years ago, I did something to my back. The pain was constant and deep—I felt it in my sleep, when I walked, and when I sat. I finally went to a doctor, and then a neurosurgeon, and then to a surgery ward, because I had herniated a disk that was beginning to rupture. [...]
Author’s Note: Welcome to DAY 1 of thegoddessblogs.com’s 4th Anniversary! Here on Mt. Oly, we’re going to celebrate in grand goddess style with awesome goddess guests, fantabulous posts from our lovely goddesses, and HUGE prizes – all week long! Did I mention prizes? We’ll be giving out daily prizes, of course – tons of autographed [...]
Or perhaps I should make that “Sexy talky talky, sexy talk.” I got the idea for this blog from a reviewer who said that my latest book “enraged” her because, gasp, the heroine talked to the hero in bed. Who does that? she asked. Ummm … It just so happens that some people DO. I [...]
Not THAT kind of bowling. I’m talking SuperBowling. In honor of this great day, I thought I’d give all of you non-football fans a reason to watch the game. There’s THIS reason: That’s my man, Aaron Rodgers, quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. In case you didn’t see him, here he is again: Is that [...]
Yes, tomorrow is Superbowl XLV. The Greenbay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. And the commercials. Ah, the commercials. Generally I’m not a fan of commercials. When I record a TV show I almost always forward through them. But there’s just something about those Superbowl commercials. Maybe it’s the $3 million dollars for 30 seconds of [...]
So, the other day I finally got around to watching The Time Traveler’s Wife. I know that other’s loved it, but I thought it was just okay. I’m assuming the book was better than the movie. But the movie did get the “what ifs” spinning around in my head. What if I could travel through [...]
I’ve always been good at pairing things — wines and cheeses, actors or actresses with various parts, and even friends — oh yes, I’m a beloved matchmaker among my private circle of friends. I have the gift and it applies to famous people, as well as to my bffs. In fact, when my friends said [...]
Is it my imagination or are things coming and going faster these days? I don’t mean the days themselves–with age that happens, I know. I am talking about stores, consumer products, and things like that. The props in my world seem to disappear unexpectedly. All the time. Lots of them. I have had quite a few stores [...]
Remember yesterday when I talked about revealing facets to you? Well, today I’m going to unveil a new facet of myself. I wrote a book. Come on. Let me finish. I know I’ve written books before, but this book is different. In fact, it’s so different that I’ll have a new name on the cover: [...]
