Which usually is nothing. But I'm going to change that. I'm planning on taking a little time this next week to get back into baking. It's hard to bake and stay on a low carb diet, so since I've fallen and don't want to get up for a few weeks, I'm digging into some recipes. I'm doing a Orange Cake sometime this week. Yes, I got the recipe off Facebook, so I'm hoping it's good. The other thing I have to do is make my own recipe for scones. I think I made them once before, but I

I had surgery last week which put me out of commission for just about the entire week. As I'm a list making, get things done fool, this really has me antisy to get back to finishing things. Especially with writing a book and edits and marketing on my to do list. (A Deadly Brew releases next Tuesday. I hope you're looking forward to this peek into South Cove holiday life.) Since I'm not able to sit at my computer and work 8-12 hours a day, I've been thinking. And reading. And

There's just something about sitting (vegging) in front of the television and watching shows off the DVR. Sometimes I even let them build up so I can have a few hours of entertainment. NCIS is my current favorite. This method of watching (and collecting) shows is so different than when I grew up and if you missed a show, you had to depend on someone else watching and telling you what you missed. My mom was that person for Dark Shadows. She'd turn on the television and then wa

I love this time of year. Displays of new pens, papers, notebooks, organizers...you name it, you can get it. I have colored pencils to draw my cozy little towns. I have notebooks in a multitude of colors where I plan my week, my month, and sometimes, just my shopping list. My day job always has a school supply collection drive this time of year. My team is putting together 10 backpacks. I bought a pink one with unicorns. I would have totally rocked that in elementary school.

Can you believe it's the end of July? Soon school will be in session, and fall will be on its way. Back home, school didn't start until after the State Fair. Most kids had projects or animals or both showing in the 4H booths and barns. Which made going to the fair one of the last bursts of summer. At least for me. I loved everything about our fair. First, it was in Boise which to me, seemed like a huge city. I remember being so excited as we walked toward the ticket gates. T

SANTA PUPPY, the third Tourist Trap novella was super fun to write. Jill's trying to solve a mystery that will make one lucky woman's Christmas seem miraculous. And Kensington went all out for the cover... Do you believe in Christmas magic? #LynnCahoon #TouristTrap #TouristTrapMysteries #novella #holidaynovella #SantaPuppy #Christmas

Happy July! I've taken some time today to go over my progress for the year on my resolutions. What gets measured, gets done. So here's my report. I've written two books and one novella. (I still have two books and two novella to go by end of November.) I've lost about 15 pounds - Depends on the scale I've started a budgeting process I've released four books (or will by Tuesday) What I need to focus on the last half of the year: Continuing the budgeting Working out more consi

June just got away from me. I've had some additional activities. We sold our boat after a week of two hundred plus inquiries on Facebook. I took a local class given by my RWA chapter. Later that day I gave myself food poisoning and lost two days. Bad bacon. Then I had a conference the next weekend. I've been having some medical issues (besides the food poisoning) and had to have a minor surgery. Oh, and my husband rolled the toy (side by side) during this crazy month. Long

On my author Facebook page, we do a roundup of all the books we've been reading over the last week. I'm always amazed at how many readers pause and comment on other posts. It's like going to the bookstore with a bunch of friends. "Hey, I've read this book and it's great." Friend #1 picks up IT'S RAINING CATS AND DOGS, A MEMOIR OF A HUMANE SOCIETY MANAGER "Really? I've thought about it but I was concerned that it didn't have enough puppies in the plot." Friend number two touc

Today kicked off right with a cover reveal on Dru's Book Musing. I so love this cover and it's getting great comments from readers. So what do you think? Staying in character can be murder when Cat Latimer and the members of her writers’ retreat head for a ghost town . . . Cat and the members of her writers’ retreat have just arrived in Outlaw, Colorado, an “Old West” tourist town complete with inhabitants dressed up as famous figures from history. But this authentic slice of
