I was flattered at the Poisoned Pen this week. Kristan Higgins is one of my favorite romantic comedy writers, so when I heard she’d be at The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale on a tour for her latest book, On Second Thought, I requested a day off from work so I could Read more…
Hi there! It’s been a while since I blogged—and it’s been even longer since I’ve done one of those fill-in-the-blank surveys. You know the ones … They’re often passed around on Facebook or from blogger to blogger (especially in the healthy living/lifestyle blogosphere). I’ve done them before, usually over on Read more…
The “Seven Things You Don’t Know About Me” post has been going around Facebook lately — and I thought it’d make a great post for the ol’ neglected blog. (I’m trying to blog more regularly … really I am.) Here they are, in no particular order. 1. After reading Gone Read more…
Can I make a confession? I came to the NaNoWriMo party somewhat late. For the uninitiated, NaNo is the (some say crazy) push to write a 50,000-word novel in 30 days, from Nov. 1-30. I joined the push for the first time in 2009, with the intent of writing about Read more…

Cellphone is one word now—at least according to the Associated Press. And since AP style is drilled into my head at the day job, one word it shall stay, even if it drives me up the wall. The AP also recently changed style on under way. After two decades of Read more…
There are so many blog hops in cyberspace that the Easter bunny would collapse, exhausted, if he tried to hit them all. Heck, I’m exhausting myself, and I’ve only done a couple. The latest one I signed on for has questions mighty similar to the last one, although I didn’t Read more…
My name is Arlene Hittle, and I like to laugh. I hope my books make other people laugh, too. The never-ending bundle of energy that is Jamie Raintree recruited me to take part in a blog hop about my writing process. I met Jamie in 2009, when I undertook the Read more…
Okay, it may not be the left lane that’s closed — but my corner of the information superhighway is under construction. In preparation for my indie publishing debut, my website is undergoing a complete redesign. Please bear with me while Larissa from dot.Dalton works her magic. When she’s done, it’ll Read more…
