Early March 2008
I still am sleepy from changing the clocks this past weekend. I lost an hour of sleep and I still cannot catch up. Are you or your children feeling the same way? I am picturing your kids with their heads on their desks at school taking little siestas during their first classes of the morning. Of course then at night they are WIDE awake like me. I am hoping my body clock catches up soon. Of course, if I would just go to sleep at night instead of staying up reading, it would be a good thing.

Sleuthfest, the writer's conference that I attended last weekend, was wonderful. As I mentioned last week Lee Child was being honored. I admire Lee for his endless support of other authors. Whenever we are at conferences he is at the panels, introducing authors to others, talking about their work and hanging out. I mentioned this to him last week and he responded like this: "I'm a fan of the genre as much as an author." Nice to hear that, isn't it? While in Florida James O. Born was kind enough to take me to a shooting gallery and taught me how to fire a gun. You can read about this experience and how my life parallels that of Assistant District Attorney Alex Cooper in Linda Fairstein's upcoming thriller KILLER HEAT by reading my blog called "Put Down the Knitting Needles; Pick Up the Gun."

This weekend we turn the clocks ahead one hour. Can spring really be so close? It was pretty chilly when I was in Florida last week --- but that didn't keep me out of the pool! In two weeks I'm going to Minnesota, where there will probably be three feet of snow. Luckily, they know to build pools indoors there. Oh well... While I'm waiting for the weather to warm up, I can always curl up with a good book.
