Bluestocking Ball: May 2014

http://bluestockingball.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 5, 2014. Right this second, I'm sitting in the middle of a gorgeous green lawn, reclining in a lounge chair, with my laptop in my lap and my eyeballs closed. A refreshing breeze is blowing across my face and arms, while the sun's warmth keeps me from getting too cold. I'm on retreat. A writer's retreat. And it's heaven. Seriously, I can't see. What is this even? Enter the writing retreat. And boy howdy, I have written. Tomorrow is my last day of retreat. Wednesday, I return to my life and...

Bluestocking Ball: June 2013

http://bluestockingball.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 28, 2013. Sometimes life hands you a. Sometimes life force-marches you out to the lemon grove and fells a fruit-bearing tree on your head. This June has been a pretty rough on the Boyce household. I'd like to be able to feel relief that it's almost over, but if I've learned anything this month, it's that life can change drastically from one instant to the next. 48 hours is a lot of time for June to find another way to mess with me, so I'm not celebrating just yet. I tuned back out. Now, with...

Bluestocking Ball: Be Mine

http://bluestockingball.blogspot.com/2014/02/be-mine.html

Friday, February 14, 2014. Today is February 14, Valentine's Day, a holiday with the power to reduce the best of us to quivering heaps of adolescent uncertainty: Is it too soon to get him a gift? Will she think I lack imagination if I buy her chocolates? Will the comically oversized box earn back originality points? What if he doesn't like teddy bears? Haven't we been together too long for this nonsense? Is it weird to say "Happy Valentine's Day" to my boss, or is it weirder not to say anything? Valentin...

Bluestocking Ball: June 2014

http://bluestockingball.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 10, 2014. So, after a long while of people asking me WHEN is my next book coming out, I finally have an answer for you: this fall! I've just signed on with Crimson Romance again to release my new Regency Romance series, called The Honorables. The series will consist of five titles, three full-length novels and two novellas. Book one launches in October, with a new title coming out every three months. It's an ambitious schedule and I'm a little daunted, but I know I can do it! The first memb...

Bluestocking Ball: Machiavellian

http://bluestockingball.blogspot.com/2014/02/machiavellian.html

Thursday, February 6, 2014. Almost three years ago (Has this blog been around that long? My annoyance with the use of "Lolita" as a pejorative. I'm here today to rant about another inappropriately hijacked name-turned-adjective:. This one doesn't stem from the misunderstanding of a fictional character, but rather from an incomplete comprehension of a real man's literary legacy. I hear you saying, but what does it mean? I'm so glad you asked! So, what's all the hubub about this man? Somebody bust out the.

Bluestocking Ball: In Memoriam

http://bluestockingball.blogspot.com/2014/01/in-memoriam.html

Thursday, January 30, 2014. On January 24, 2014, my beloved grandmother, Grandma Vel, passed away at the age of 92. I've been away from the blog for a few months and this isn't how I imagined coming back, but I hope you'll indulge me. The following post is adapted from the eulogy I wrote for her memorial. Vel in 1942, age 21. Vel is the baby in her mother's lap. Two more would be born after her. The oldest few were already grown and gone. My father is the well-behaved one on the right. I don't know what ...
