So, are you hot enough? I can’t believe we’ve had no reprieve in two months here in the South. I’m ready for fall. Bring on football, gold and reddish colored leaves, and cool nights. I’m in the middle of downsizing. Yes, it’s horrible. I think maybe it’s human nature to hoard everything, memories, stuff weContinue reading “Part Two – Interview with a Strong Southern Lady”

Why She Writes About Women – Welcome, Amy Rivers
So, to quote a former late night television personality, “How hot is it? It’s so hot, chickens are laying hardboiled eggs.” Yep, I don’t have to tell you that it’s hot down here in Georgia. Even my pup, Bella, won’t stay outside very long. She lies in the mulch where it’s cooler on her belly forContinue reading “Why She Writes About Women – Welcome, Amy Rivers”
Part One – Interview with a Strong Southern Lady
Now don’t tell anyone, but I sometimes hate summer. I know, I know, I live in the South and you’d think I’d be used to it. Nope. I just thank God every day for air conditioning. Unfortunately, the heat has never been my friend. It not only drains me of any energy I have, butContinue reading “Part One – Interview with a Strong Southern Lady”
A June Welcome to Melanie V. Logan
Hi y’all! I had a wonderful long weekend spending Friday through Tuesday at St. Simons Island, Georgia with my husband, Mike, and our mini-Australian Shepherd, Bella.

This month I have two events to attend: my high school reunion in Decatur, Georgia and the Southeastern Writers Association (SWA) Conference. Looking forward to both forContinue reading “Normal is as Normal does…”
What Is Women’s Fiction? And Why Do You Write That?
I have been struggling with my current manuscript, finding the last third of the book to be the most difficult. Pulling it all together, grappling with endings. It’s kind of a slow and steady process, but the pain will be over sometime in June. Yes, June. I have a mental deadline. But today is blogContinue reading “What Is Women’s Fiction?

“A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is enabled by her scars.” —-Carly Simon Happy May! Check out my Foxglove!!

An April Salute
Don’t you just love the month of April? The greening of everything? The pinks and lavenders in neighborhood yards? A blossoming tree capturing your attention as you turn a corner? My yard is coming to life as I speak. Every morning my dog, Bella, and I check to see what’s new. April is my favoriteContinue reading “An April Salute”

The Real Joy in Achieving a Dream
