Celebrity Secrets Excerpt
Elissa walked into the terminal and smiled seeing Greg standing far off to the side waiting on her. She waved at him excitedly and he put a simple hand up to meet her excited wave. She rushed over to him, wrapping her arms around him in a hug.
"Hey you! Where is everybody else?"
He let go of her, amazed at the scent of lingering perfume he smelled on her. She smelled different, like…an actual movie star, if there was such a thing as someone smelling like a movie star.
"All waiting for you at the house. Dad's running late though, at the hospital."
She smiled at him. "So…How have you been?"
He shrugged. "Hanging in there. Going to school. I think I've finally decided what to become."
"Really? What's that?"
"A child psychologist."
She stopped and gazed at him with the same smile he'd seen on her face on screen. "Really? Wow, Greg….that's really cool."
He smiled back at her, wanting with all his might to say she had been his inspiration behind the desire to do that, but he kept his mouth shut.
"Let's go home," he said putting an arm around her as they walked through the terminal towards his car….
- Favorite Bookstores on land or cyberspace
- I am a penny pincher so I have to say used book stores are a favortie with me. But I am grateful to Amazon as well as Barnes and Noble and numerous other sites, for without them, I would not be able to sell books as easily!

Check out the Mystery of the Missing Checks
Monday, I'm over at my group blog, http://makeminemystery.blogspot.com/, where I'm blogging about the mystery of the missing checks. Come on over and find out what it's all about.Thanks,

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?
Helpless
Over the Holiday weekend I took a good look at my house and that familiar helples feeling washed over me again. It seemed like an insurmountable task to get the place in order. It still does.I spend so much time writing and promoting after I do my day job, what little time I have left is precious. Still, sometimes I just have to buckle down and ignore my compulsion to write and make myself clean house instead. I tackled the spare bedroom, which had clothes and all kinds of other articles strewn over the bed, on the floor, and anywhere you can think of, compliments of myself and the DH, who were equally guilty. I did make some headway, which made me feel good, but if I had more time I know I could do better. Also, there are so many other projects left to do if I were to get the house really into shape. I'm wondering how much I'll get done before Christmas, when I have my family over.
Maybe over the weekend I can get more done, that is, after I do the Illinois sales tax form first, which is due by the end of the month. I've got almost all of my check statements, except one, which I think I can find online, so maybe I can get that done. You may have guessed I'm not the most organized person in the world.
Anyway, let's see how far I can get cleaning up. I've got this kindle on loan from the library, with about 9 days left on it, and lots of good books on it beckoning to me. I've got some great ideas for stories I want to start and others I want to continue. I've got some blog buddies I haven't visited for a while. I wonder what will win out. (g)
What about you? What do you do about housework? Does it get in the way sometimes?
PS The not so surprising results are up on the left for my EZ poll. I'll have to do a harder one some time.

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

I am sending this to my BookPlace friends because Gremlins are out there, waiting for an opportunity to humiliate you. Here's how my newly released The Frugal Editor can help:
• Learn what annoys agents the most--straight from the mouths of the nation's best.
• Learn what your English teacher told you was OK but has changed since you were a Sophomore.
• Learn what is absolutely grammatically correct but will annoy publishers.
• Learn how to make your Spell and Grammar Check your partner instead of your enemy.
• Learn how to avoid the scams when you select an editor.
• Learn how to partner with your editor or your publisher's editor.
• Learn how to use hyphens, ellipses and all the other grungy little punctuation marks that English teachers avoided teaching because they didn't know how to use them either.
Peter Bowerman, author of the Well-Fed Writer series says, "Don't turn in anything until you turn to "The Frugal Book Promoter."
