Saturday Books: Back to the fifteenth century…

by Dee Davis

My journey to become an author reads like a Cinderella story.  But that doesn’t mean there weren’t road bumps along the way.  It all started when, a little over ten years ago, I found myself at loose ends.  We’d just moved back to Texas from Austria, my daughter was going off to kindergarten and my [...]

Collinsport Maine is back!

by Dee Davis

So we’ve already established that I am a Tim Burton fan.  Even went to see the MoMa exhibit last year of his work, which was twistedly lovely.  And two of his movies rank at the top of my all-time favorites list.   Alice In Wonderland and Big Fish (which interestingly is coming to Broadway as a [...]

Twenty-four Hours a Day!

by Dee Davis

So my favorite meal of the day is breakfast!  And given a choice I’ll choose it for any meal.  One of my favorite things about living in Manhattan is the prevalence of diners which serve breakfast twenty-four hours a day.  The Madison (on 1st Ave at 53rd) is my favorite and even having moved slightly [...]

Goodbye Pine Valley!

by Dee Davis

Okay, so I’ll admit that I’ve been hooked on ABC soaps for more than thirty years.  And although I was right there on the front row for Luke and Laura’s wedding (when I was in grad school), my heart has always belonged to All My Children. I remember Erica when she didn’t have any married [...]

Sometimes it’s better in Print

by Dee Davis

One of the downsides to e-publishing books in that format only, is that people who don’t have e-readers (or don’t want them) don’t have access to a book.  So for all of you folks who wanted to read Daring, but aren’t into the e-scene yet, I’ve got good news.  The wonderful folks over at Grand [...]

It’s All in the Place

by Dee Davis

When I read, one of the most important things to me about the novel is the setting.  When I escape I like to go places I haven’t been.  Whether it’s somewhere far away or somewhere created by an author’s imagination, part of the reading journey for me is all about the place.   Whether it’s Tolkien’s [...]

The Best Things Happen When You Least Expect

by Dee Davis

Sometimes the world reminds us just how wonderful people really are. As most of you know, I recently attending the Rom Con, a fabulous readers convention held in Denver.  It was my first time to attend and I had no idea what to expect.   What I found was a hotel full of lovely ladies all [...]

Green Thumb on a Hot Summer Day

by Dee Davis

Since we’ve all been talking about our summer gardens, I thought I’d share a few pictures of mine.  The tomatoes are still growing and green, but hey, we’ve got tomatoes.  And the peppers are sweet with just a hint of spice. We cut the first two up to use in shrimp fried rice—one of my husband’s [...]

by Julia London

While you are reading this, Dee and I are in Denver, at an airport hotel, mingling with romance readers.  This is a very small conference, and it is designed so that readers can get to know authors, and authors can meet readers.  There are no lessons in craft, there are no publishers and agents.  Just [...]

Lady Jane’s Salon

by Kathleen O'Reilly

For those of you who aren’t in the know, there’s a clandestine little reading salon that meets in every month down in the Village in New York City.  It’s called Lady Jane’s salon, a throwback to by-gone days when curtains were red velvet, couches were called settees, and the glasses were always overflowing. View Madame [...]

Texas Forever!

by Dee Davis

I just finished watching the finale of Friday Night Lights.  And first off—fabulous series. And a great ending.   Wish it wasn’t going away. In general terms I loved the show because I grew up with Texas football.  The good and the bad and the really ugly.  But mostly the good.   And a way of life [...]

It’s Baaaaacccckkkkk!

by Dee Davis

Okay, so in the 80’s must see TV for me included shows like Falcon Crest and Dynasty.  But the one that I absolutely never missed was Dallas.   Maybe it was the Texan in me.  Or maybe I was caught up in the movement toward all things glitzy and amped with shoulder pads.  Or maybe I [...]

Summertime

by Dee Davis

Still in after-conference recovery mode here.   So instead of trying to dazzle with words that quite sincerely are probably not worthy of the page, I’m simply going to think about those hazy days of summer and the fond memories I had as a kid. The cool haven of a swimming pool, the smell of Hawaiian [...]

Summertime TV

by Dee Davis

So it’s that time of year again.  The network prime time shows are over. And unlike days of yore, they’re not all repeated over the summer.  There is actually—gasp—new programing.  Of course a lot of it isn’t exactly top quality TV.  But a lot of it is.  Here are some of my favorites, in no [...]

A Day with the Rockefellers

by Dee Davis

So this past weekend, in celebration of Memorial Day, we rented a car and headed out to Sleepy Hollow.   Yes, the very same place that inspired Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow.  But instead of ghostly non-headed riders in the night, we were in search of history.  Specifically, the Rockefeller’s Mansion Kykuit (a Dutch word [...]

Real Men Don’t!

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Real Men Don’t used to be a fairly regular feature of the Whine Sisters Blog in the early days. Every now and then, we would find examples of things Real Men Don’t do and share our thoughts. Real Men Don’t… cheat on their wives, for example. We would, of course, have a handy example in [...]
