[Note: the link to RI's blog was wrong a little earlier; I just corrected it. It's right now!] Happy Tuesday, ladies, from the land of Spring!! At least that's how it feels here in San Francisco this week. Smells, looks, feels like spring, what with a bluejay scouting nest locations in the backyard, the lavender bush in such extravagant bloom that my cat was tempted to burrow into it and I had to dig him out and we both ended up disheveled and smelling fabulous, and the brilliant blue skies. Our friend Haven from Romantic Inks invited me for a blog interview today and asked some good questions (check 'em out and comment if you're game!), one of which prompted me to track down the following video—and Haven, darling, I have to thank you, because MAN, I'd forgotten how much I loved this song!! What led to this? She specifically asked about my band days, and which songs I enjoyed playing the most. This one suddenly popped into my head—we used to cover it. I should specify that this band isn't, um, actually us. But that might become apparent as you watch. LOL. You might sort of recognize them. This song is a rarity of theirs—I can't even remember how my band first got our hands on it—but man it's a great song, and it sounds even better when played very LOUD (live or recorded). These guys look like wee babies in this video! Who would have dreamed that the guy with the tiny heinie in the tight red pants would one day be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize?? These boys have come a long way. :)
Anyway: any day I get to sit in my ratty old hoody sweater and jeans working on revision for my next book while I chat with cool gals on my blog and the city of San Francisco goes about the business of looking beautiful outside my window is cause for a celebration. :) How's your week going??
Hey Julie, I just finished reading your blog interview over at Romantic Inks. Loved your comment about marrying a rich, indulgent man before getting published! :)) Also, enjoyed the Facebook chat on Friday, the hour flew by so fast! I hope you stay just as sweet and funny as long as possible, or at least until you get as popular as Nora Roberts and then all bets are off right? ;)

Hey Charlene! Oh, yes indeed, if ONLY I'd been able to write a letter to my publishing-virgin self back in around 2003 or so. LOL. That was a good question from Haven! And you're so cute -- by all accounts, Nora, even in the midst of her glorious popularity, is a delight. LOL. If i'm ever fortunate enough to reach NORvana (hee! To coin a phrase) I think I'd like a staff of handsome footmen to do my bidding, which I'm sure would go a long way toward preserving my good spirits. LOL.

OMG, Julie! That song! I loved that song. So funny to see it here. Wow, that takes me back. Wish I could have seen you play it. :D

Waiting until November is killing me! I wish good writing happened more quickly, but who am I kidding? It's work -- enjoyable work, but work!
Keep the Pennyroyal Green books coming -- I'm hooked!
