Football? What football?

Re: Previously blogged about Super Bowl
It was supposed to be a short break from deadline.  I was only planning to be there for a couple of hours and then dive back into the soup.  That’s not how it panned out.
I drank.  A lot.  And then I ate super hot chili.  A lot.  And then I [...]

Eyes on Special Mystery Project X

While Marianne was sipping strawberry margaritas in Mexico (Not that there’s anything wrong with that. And not that I’m jealous or anything.), I was taking new photos outside in snowy twenty-something degree weather for Special Mystery Project X (which you will be hearing about soon, but until then, which will be referred to as…Special [...]

Christmas in Texas

I’ve been a super lazy blogger this week and I apologize. Just a lot to do to get ready for the holidays!
So this past weekend we headed down to Kingsland, Texas (about an hour outside of Austin) to celebrate Christmas with Jacob’s family at their lake house.
They had a gigantic tree that puts ours [...]

Be serious, now. No, really. Do try.

Went to Brooklyn today for my weekly writing date with Megan Frampton. While she managed to write half a book, I spent my time fighting (successfully) the Facebook virus. That is, until our session degenerated into a Santa Hat photoshoot.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

One Wedding and a Library

Saturday morning, bright and early, Jacob and I packed up and headed north to New England in our rented SUV. (Since I don’t own a car, I can justify my once a year use of an SUV when it comes to the environment.)

We arrived that afternoon, grabbed my dad and brother, and headed to [...]

DragonCon Report

Back from my trip. Kind of a whirlwind, but definitely fun! On Friday, Jacob and I drove to Philadelphia to go see Nine Inch Nails in concert. We stayed at my cousin’s townhouse (she and her girlfriend were away) which was really cute and in a fun neighborhood in South Philly. It kind of reminded [...]

Of galley cats, mice, turtles, dogs…my god, where the hell am I?

Several days ago, I went to the countryside to finish my galleys. Yes, “the countryside.” Fellow author extraordinaire Alisa Kwitney has one of those idyllic country homes in ruralish-looking New York, complete with red barn and swimming pool.

She was working on another masterpiece (if you haven’t read her yet, you must. [...]

Marianne’s Adventures in Texas: Days 3 & 4

Texas weekend adventure continues…
We woke up at “The Beach House” the next morning to sit down to a delicious Tex-Mex breakfast of chorizos and migas. Yum! Seriously, I could eat nothing but Mexican food for the rest of my life and die happy. Japanese food, on the other hand, I’d just die of starvation. Unfortunately [...]

Marianne’s Texas Adventure Day 2: The Beach House

My Texas adventure continues…
The next morning Jacob, Josh, Christina, the baby and I got breakfast tacos at Taco Deli. Something you definitely don’t get in New York! I got a bacon, egg and cheese one in a flour taco and some delicious strawberry/orange fresh squeezed juice. We sat outside to eat, which was really pleasant.

After [...]

Marianne’s Adventures in Texas – Day 1

Now that Liz has converted our blog to a real blog format I can log in and write too! I can’t promise I’ll be as witty or amusing as she is, but I’ll do my best to at least be interesting. Anyway, I figured I’d start by posting my Texas travelogue from the trip I’m [...]
