Man! Is it HOT, or what?
Debbie Mumford | July 29, 2009
My part of the world is experiencing an unprecedented heat wave. It was 105 yesterday, and today the mercury is supposed to go even higher. Here. In the Pacific Northwest. Where a REALLY hot day is usually in the low 90s. Excuse me while I wilt. My muse is fanning herself and I’m hiding in [...]
Tuesday Cuteness – Post Weekend of Solitude
Debbie Mumford | July 28, 2009
Everyone in my household was gone over the weekend, leaving me alone in a quiet house with a bullmastiff, two German shepherds, and two cats. So what did I do with my Weekend of Solitude?

Tuesday Cuteness – Baby, It's HOT Outside!
Debbie Mumford | July 21, 2009
I admit it, I’ve been spoiled by the mild weather here in the Pacific Northwest. I mean, I grew up in Oklahoma where our current 90 degree temperatures wouldn’t so much as raise an eyebrow. BUT this isn’t Oklahoma. This is southwest Washington and even at the height of summer, temperatures rarely reach the high [...]
Around the Romance World
Debbie Mumford | July 19, 2009
RWA had its conference over the last few days, and while I’m no longer a member, I do like to keep track of what’s happening in the world of romance. There’s been quite a bit of controversy over RWA’s stance on e-published romance. In response conference-goers had the option to attend a Rogue Digital Conference. [...]
