Geography Lessons

by Julia London

I was listening to some talk show the other day, with a host from the northeast, and they said something about Texas being in the south.  This is the not the first time I have heard this–a lot of people from back east lump Texas in with the south.  I think Texas is in the [...]

Rolling Out the Red Carpet

by Sherri Browning Erwin

When Julia London, Kathleen O’Reilly and I were in New York City for the Romance Writers of America conference, we attended the red carpet event for the Transformers 3 premiere. No big deal. Shia was there. Director Michael Bay. We even got up close and personal with Patrick Dempsey… Well, okay, from 25 stories up. [...]

Getting Old…er.

by Julia London

I had dinner with a friend of mine. He had to read the menu to me because I couldn’t find my readers.  I told him that I squint all the time, and he nodded and said, “and you get headaches, right?” And I said “Yes!  I do!” He said, “And you see best when you [...]

What’s Your Goal?

by Julia London

Most of you know that VB and I go way back.  Waaaaaaay back.  So far back that I can’t even utter the number aloud. We were best friends in high school.  We were in show choir (think Glee) and drama.  She had a green Datsun and I had a blue Volkswagon.  We did a lot [...]

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 [...]

The Hard Part of Storytelling

by Julia London

Yesterday, I finished a manuscript for THE REVENGE OF LORD EBERLIN, which follows THE YEAR OF LIVING SCANDALOUSLY.  This book too me much longer to write than normal.  Not because it was so complex or deep in thought, but because my life intervened too often.  Inevitably, every time I came back to the manuscript, I [...]

Turning Points

by Julia London

I was in Dallas last week speaking at the Dallas Area Romance Writer’s Conference (which is a great, small, conference by the way).  I talked about the stuff I do to keep myself sane in this batshit crazy business, and let me tell you, it’s an ongoing process.  Things are changing so quickly that you [...]

Let the Sunshine In!

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Yes, I am so ready for the sun! We’ve had some sunny days, and some melting. But we still have a little way to go. Exhibit A… Snow in my backyard, January 20 (ugh, top) and March 10 (bottom): No objects have been moved! All those things were there, under the snow. We still can’t [...]

Oscar-alikes and Dislikes

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Scarlett at the Golden Globes, 2006 Red Dresses on the Red Carpet- Nothing new. Sandra Bullock looked fantastic (Vera Wang), and so did Anne Hathaway(Valentino) Again, nothing new, though Sandra really needed the improvement after the Golden Globes bangs disaster. What is new? Sandra and Anne showing up looking like well-coordinated sisters on the red [...]

Reading Habits

by Julia London

This week, Borders declared bankruptcy. We all knew it was coming. There are a lot of reasons being tossed about as to why: Borders got on the ebook revolution train too late. They never really got on board the online train, and put all their eggs in the Amazon basket. The stores were worked over [...]

Thank you, Julie Kenner

by Julia London

Because you might have saved me. Okay, it goes like this.  For some months now, I have had a terrible procrastination problem.  Terrible!  I have not, before the last year, been a procrastinator.  I am one of those people who has always gotten things done so I can tick them off the list, throw them [...]

The Hazards of Writing for a Living

by Julia London

If you write for a living, be prepared to pay $400 dollars for a bottle of pills. Actually, that happened to Hubot, and he is not a writer, but a poor law student.  Nevertheless, he and I find ourselves quite without health insurance these days, and it is opening our eyes to the way some [...]

Spring Fashion (fresh from Aunt Norma’s closet)

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Turbans! Yes, turbans are reportedly the new thing this spring. Picture it. You’re finally ready to pack up the sweaters and boots and you reach for your shoulder-padded caftan and top it with a turban! Voila, you’re in style! Oh no! You say. Oh yes! I am not kidding. I have it straight from the [...]

GG Fashion/What’s Your Sign Now?

by Sherri Browning Erwin

It’s a split blog today! Maybe I’m really a Gemini? I wanted to cover astrology, but it was the Golden Globes this weekend. How could I not talk clothes? So check out the gallery here: Golden Globes at GFY, and let’s discuss. Best? I loved Scarlett Johanssen (maybe not her hair), Olivia Wilde (oh no, [...]

At Last! Presenting Whiner of the Year 2010!

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Some years, like last year, we give the award as an honor. 2009′s Whine Person of the Year was Ms. Kathleen Givens, beloved class act, grace personified. Also see previous winner Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. Some years, like most years, we give the award in the snarky spirit of calling out true whiners or those [...]

Dressing by the rules of a 4 Year Old

by Julia London

Not me.  Katie Holmes.  I saw one of those gossip headlines yesterday that Suri Cruise tells her mom what to wear and of course I had to follow it.  If the 4 year old in my life told me what to wear, I’d be dressed in super-hero undies and a suit of armor.  No thanks. [...]

My Holiday “Hallmark” Moment

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Something warm and fuzzy happened to me over the holidays, one of those fleeting moments when all seems right with the world and your heart is about to burst? I was hosting a family dinner. My parents have been divorced almost fifteen years now. Mom is remarried. I never had any hope they would reconcile [...]

Movies and Books!

by Julia London

I should be working a whole lot more than I am right now.  I have some serious goals for 2011, and so far, I am managing maybe two hours work each day.  I lay the blame squarely at Hubot’s feet, along with making me fat.  He is on this freakishly long break from school, and [...]
