Friends in the Library of Congress Science, Technology and Business Division have invited me to come talk about my book, and read some quotes on the topic of love, on Valentine’s Day (February 14 for those of you not in the know – a Wednesday this year). I’ll be in Dining Room A at 11:30. […]
Miss Abigail: Playboy Satellite Bunny?
I was contacted yesterday by Playboy Radio (Sirius Satellite Channel 198) about appearing on their “Afternoon Advice” show, described as “an advice show like no other that could only come to you from the minds of Playboy. The show is hosted by Tiffany Granath and she’s joined by a rotating panel of experts, authors and […]
1924: Road Courtesy
I must be having a mid-life crisis. I became obsessed with a car (yes, a car) and just had to have it. So, traded in my trusty 2001 VW Golf (a moment of silence please) and negotiated a pretty good deal on a silver Madza3 hatchback. So now that I’m out on the road with […]

Best in Show

On the Way Home
Free wireless at the Fort Myers airport, woohoo. I’m heading home today. Book signing and reading on Friday was a lot of fun. Sold some books and entertained the crowd while out on the front porch of the book store. It was quite lovely. And there was a guy there from a wellness center on […]
Blogging Poolside
To those of you out there with unsecured wireless networks on the Gulf side of Sanibel Island: thank you for allowing me to tap into your wireless so I can check my email and post this while sitting by the pool (and, you might want to secure your network next time). Florida’s been fun although […]
Florida, Here I Come
I’m heading off to Florida soon for a week in the sun. I’ll be bringing the laptop, but not sure how much internet access I’ll have. That’s a good thing, right? Right. Just a reminder I’ll be at the Sanibel Island Bookshop on Friday the 24th at 1pm. Details here. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
1936: Are You as Polite at Home as Outside?
As we get closer to Thanksgiving, and the holiday season in general, I thought it might be time for a reminder about courtesy in the home. Many of us will be in close quarters with our extended family for hours and perhaps days on end, and more than ever it will be important to be […]
The Mysterious Jamestown Suitcase
Everyone loves a good mystery, don’t they? My mom’s latest children’s book, fourth in her Bailey Fish Adventures series, is now available for ordering and enjoying by children age 8 and up (and adults too!). It’s called The Mysterious Jamestown Suitcase. This one is particularly good, with some wonderful new characters (Elmo and Feather Phigg) […]
