AHHHH! Spring has sprung and the goddesses are in the mood to scrub Mt. Oly from tip to toe! I know, I know. If we’d just lie down an hour or two, the feeling would go away, but you can’t get a decent nap with Suzie playing with those light sabers while Rachel runs the [...]

Like all of you, I have read so many books in my life I have forgotten more than I remember. I have read some great books and some really bad books (at least until I finally decided life is too short and I wasn’t going to spend any more time finishing books that did not [...]

A pictorial on How To Wear a Suit, starring MATT BOMER of WHITE COLLAR. 1. It’s all about the attitude. 2. If you’ve got the look, use it. 3. Even something as mundane as taking a call can look classy when done correctly. 4. Of course, what’s under the suit is important, too. 5. Very [...]

Hugh Jackman is from Australia. So is Russell Crowe. And so are a dozen other sexy actors, musicians, and artists. But the FROS-worthy Aussie who caught my eye this week is Guy Pearce, the villain for the new Ironman 3. Frankly, I’m beginning to think there’s something very special in the water in Australia. Just [...]

I’d tell sixteen year old me that the best things in life will be my kiddos and not to let one second of laughter or giggles be pushed aside for house cleaning or ‘must dos’ that aren’t ‘must’ at all. I’d tell sixteen year old me not to marry a man who ‘needs’ you. Look [...]

I was wondering last night what kind of impression Earth would make on aliens based on just our movies blasting out into space (and we can pretend aliens don’t get the Discovery Channel). Do you remember the movie Galaxy Quest, where the aliens thought that everything they saw on our “video diaries” was the truth? Would real aliens think [...]

I’d never heard the word ‘meme’ before Facebook became the rage. Now, of course, I hear it often. A ‘meme,’ for those of you who aren’t into online media, is a concept that spreads from person to person via the internet. In the spirit of staying current, I searched the net for some fun, sexy [...]

We are right on the cusp of something exciting – yes, it’s nearly the summer movie season. We’re already being pummeled with trailers for the Tom Cruise movie Oblivion, and if I were someone who watched the MTV Movie Awards, I might have seen an Iron Man 3 trailer, too. So what’s coming out in [...]

We’re GIVING it away here on Mt. Oly! (And by ‘it,’ we mean ‘books’ and by ‘giving,’ we mean — Actually, we really mean ‘giving’ when we say ‘giving.’) So jump in, buckle up your seatbelt, post an entry, and BAM, you’re entered to win a SIX BOOK PRIZE PACK. Yes, it’s THAT easy. Why? [...]

For the past two days it’s been windy here. Not just a bit breezy, but WINDY. In the mountains and canyons, gusts up to 90 mph. On the news they showed a guy riding a skateboard and holding an umbrella, using it as a sail. And of course there are fires burning, because in Southern [...]

I just got back from a vacation week in the country, and it dawned on me while flying home that I didn’t see one hunky farmer. Not one. And why would anyone go to the country to begin with, if not to get a glimpse of a hunky farmer or ten? So I began googling [...]

Since my sister died, my family rents a cabin each year near Gatlinburg and we spend a week-long family power week. Last year, we had a gorgeous five bedroom cabin on a mountain, great hot tub, lovely deck, huge coffeemaker, lots of hot water, four spacious bathrooms, pool table and game room — it was [...]

This just came out this week, and naturally, I’m ready to see it NOW: There’s something about a superhero. And what’s amazing is that there are so many different types. We just saw WOLVERINE, who is tall, dark and tormented; he’s a hero searching for an answer. And then there’s IRON MAN, who is brilliant, [...]

In the newspaper biz, when a reporter said “I’m on deadline,” it usually meant he/she had to get a story in by a certain time that night in order for it to appear in the newspaper the next morning. A deadline for a book writer is a slightly different animal. Technically, once I sign a [...]

I never went on one of those wild spring break trips in college. I was not the type to sleep in my car, live on the beach. Let’s face it. I was never a candidate for “Girls Gone Wild.” My idea of a wild night is more than two glasses of vino. The very first [...]

My blog really has nothing to do with the Ides or Bewaring, but I just wanted to use that title. What I actually want to talk about is wedding dresses. I’ve never worn a wedding dress. And unless Nathan Fillion or Gerard Butler finally start answering my tweets, it’s not likely to happen. Even so, I [...]

I don’t know about you guys, but if a man has a square jaw and steely blues, I’ll look. But if he’s also a reader, then I’ll chase him around the world and hunt him down like a Wildebeast – Er, I mean, I’ll look twice. Yes. Look twice. That’s what I meant to say. [...]

As I sit here we are expecting 6-12 more inches of the white and fluffy. As my yard already looks like this I’m not happy. The first few snowfalls are so pretty. When the boys were small a snow day was a holiday. (They still are, but once you aren’t in school any [...]

Yesterday’s post by Suzanne Enoch about her collection made me to think about what I do when I’m not writing. Other than reading research books, my favorite thing to do is attend estate sales. Because this is Florida, most estate sales are living estate sales — the owners of the property are usually moving in [...]

Sometimes it feels like being a writer is a full-time gig. And I mean 24-hours a day full time. When I’m doing laundry I’m trying to figure out how to get the heroine to the ball without an invitation. While I’m brushing my teeth I’m trying out snippets of dialogue to try to make them [...]

Yup, it’s Academy Award time again (YAY!) and so today for FROS, we’re going to take a look at the Best Actor Category and pick our own winner. First up to the podium is the ever talented Bradley Cooper: This is not a picture from the nominated movie, Silver Linings Playbook, but is instead my [...]
