Late Night With Dee and Noelle

When I was a kid, I was a serious insomniac. Even as a little'un, I almost never slept a whole night through. (I blame my older sister, but that's a different story.) I used to wonder why God didn't want me to sleep very much.
Now I know it's because He knew I'd have children.
With my son, I learned how to sleep sitting up against a wall while rocking in place so he'd get through baby pneumonia.
With the twins, I discovered that I could sleep sitting up, holding two little morsels completely still for hours at a time. I'm pretty sure I learned how to breathe without moving my chest.
And now, I'm a pro at late night posting with a kidlet. You just pretend you're a Late Night TV Host and you can get through anything.
Tonight's special guest is Noellie. She's 24 pounds of cuddly cuteness, dimples and on this night at least, starring lead role in "Splash! Attack of the Stomach Flu".

Romantic Movies and a Give-Away!

I received my author copies of Overnight Sensation last week, due out in September. I loved writing this story, and I got just as big a thrill out of holding this book as I did when my first book, Flyboy arrived. I hope that level of excitement never goes away.
The idea for this story came after reading an interview with Keira Knightley about the difficulties of shooting a love scene while the director was shouting instructions at her about how and where to move her body, while the film crew stood by and ate sandwiches! I'll admit it--I'm a movie junkie. There's something about getting pulled into a really great flick that just makes you forget everything else. But after reading the article about Keira, I couldn't help wondering what it's like for the actors when they're required to shoot a love scene with an entire film crew watching! How do they "become" the characters they portray? Does the line between make-believe and reality ever get blurred? As a writer, I couldn't help but see the possibilities...
