Stealing Home confirmed I am a "pantser" (author who writes by the seat of her pants) as opposed to a "plotter" (author who plans the book in advance).

I wrote the first draft of Stealing Home between 7/26/10 and 10/11/10.

A three-day writing retreat didn't hurt.

I ate a lot of blue foods because a yoga instructor once told me blue foods strengthen the throat (voice) chakra.

• Blueberries
• Blue corn chips
• Blue potato chips
• Blueberry tea

On October 26th, 2010, my daily horoscope actually belonged to the heroine of Stealing Home:

“More often than not, emotional situations don't work out the way they should - like they do in the movies, that is - but now, thanks to something that happened recently under highly unusual circumstances, a magical ending could actually on the agenda. Your job is to refuse to make an opera out of anything that could ruin that happy ending - anything you might be tempted to get involved with that isn't worth the effort. Do your part. Dreams do come true. ”
