Jove Belle

Welcome to my cyber home. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. I’m a lesbian author with a leaky brain, so you may be here a while. Drinks are on me, so at the very least you’ll leave with a happy martini buzz. Or, if you prefer, a tall glass of iced tea. 

Here’s the lay of the place. Along the top there’s a few places to visit. You’ll find my official bio, a list of my novels, the anthologies sporting my short stories, and contact information. To the right a nicely sorted list of categories of all my blog entries, and to the left some links to other places I like to visit.

Thanks much for dropping in, be sure and leave a comment before you go.

New Tattoo

I’m planning to get a new tattoo on the inside of my left wrist. It’s called the wheel of law and symbolizes the eight fold noble path of Buddhism. What do y’all think?

Goals for May

Some friends posted goals on their site and it inspired me to come up with some of my own. The deadline is, of course, May 31st.

• Write at least 30,ooo words on my current manuscript.
• Cardio at least 5x each week. Not really caring what or how long, just that it gets done.
• Strength training at least 3x each week. This involves actually going to the gym (gasp). Made it four times this week, so I should be okay if I stay focused.
• Stain my front and back decks. This is largely weather dependent, so we’ll see how it goes. I do live in the land of ever present rain after all.

Think thats it for now. I’ll keep y’all posted as the month progresses.
