Spring has sprung!
My second-favorite author is at it again–mining the hearts of women for our deepest secrets. This time, it’s all about the thing we love to hate: money. It makes us crazy and reveals things about us that are surprising, hilarious, embarrassing, poignant and above all, real.
Coming April 2010!

Would you PLEASE do yourself a small favor and run out and buy this book? Get one for your mom, sister or best friend too, while you’re at it.
Would you please get a load of this? My mom, granddog & great granddog. And please note the groovy top. If you look close, you can see someone used the Bedazzler on this little number.
Okay, we now return to our regularly-scheduled programming.

An observant friend spotted THE LIGHTKEEPER in the wilds of Central America. Enjoy the vacation photos! Cindy writes, “Here are a few pictures from Costa Rica. We found your book at Cerro Lodge close to Tarcoles on the Pacific Coast. Beautiful hummingbirds, parrots and even scarlet macaws all around us.”
