Idyllwild
Written by Drusilla on December 20th, 2011
My hero and I just got home from a getaway to Idyllwild, a mountain community about two hours from San Diego. It had been almost ten years since our last visit to an inn where we’d enjoyed a couple of great weekends, and when I made the reservations, I didn’t know what to expect. Of course, I went online, and was pleased to see that the place looked about the same: a line of handsomely designed “cabins” along a rushing creek. But a mouse-smelling cabin with knot holes in the floor can look fairy tale charming on-screen, so I was ready to be disappointed. What a wonderful surprise to discover that the inn is not only as comfortable and welcoming as it used to be but even more so.

Thanksgiving 2011
Written by Drusilla on November 29th, 2011
Thanksgiving was great! Hope yours was too.
For many years I cooked for the crowd but a few years ago my sister and I switched so now we all go to her house for the yearly November feast. Last year we had ham but this year she went traditional with turkey and all the trimmings which in this case meant Rocky brought carrots he’d done something orangey with and Nikki made the salad. It’s not traditional to have salad at Thanksgiving but in our family we’re big on greens.

Meet Django
Written by Drusilla on November 1st, 2011
Django Jones leapt onto the pages of Little Girl Gone fully developed, smiling and ready for his close up. He’s almost thirteen and though he’s an orphan now, he had the good fortune to be raised by a glamorous mom and dad who adored him in the best way.

Book Clubs
Written by Drusilla on October 18th, 2011
The Good Sister has been chosen by the Women’s National Book Association as one of this year’s twenty best choices for book groups – a “Great Group Read“.
Hard to believe, but before Oprah, book groups weren’t common. Long ago my mother belonged to something called The Delphian Society which was, I think, devoted to the radical idea that women had brains enough to handle Plato and Descartes.

Foo
Written by Drusilla on October 12th, 2011
One of the characters in LITTLE GIRL GONE is a pit bull named Foo. Actually, he was part of this story during an earlier incarnation and almost ended up in the discard pile for plots, ideas and characters that for some reason don’t work out.

The Countdown Begins
Written by Drusilla on September 29th, 2011
I’m so deep in HONOR & GLORY these days that it came as kind of a shock when The Bear reminded me that it’s only three months ‘til the LITTLE GIRL GONE pub date and I’d better start blogging and tweeting.
