I started to tie a bib around Tucker’s neck but I had the strongest desire to strangle him with it. I could see it in my mind, his head growing larger, like a balloon as his neck was cinched off by the strings. His tongue bulging, his eyes protruding, just before his skull was ready to pop--

Jodi Graham knows that this is more than the “baby blues” she is feeling, but just before she slides completely into postpartum psychosis she comes up with an unconventional solution. She takes a job as a long-haul truck driver while her husband takes over full-time care of their son.

For Jodi, motherhood is more frightening than hauling 40 tons down an icy mountain. But something happens that will force her to drive headlong into her worst fears.

Morning Star is based on Danna Hobart’s real life struggle through postpartum depression/psychosis.

That night many of us sat around, got drunk, and recounted happy stories about Mike. When Todd and I went home, I left the remaining alcohol at Sandy's house. Before that, Sandy had only been a social drinker. After that, she became an alc...

    I just read in Yahoo News that the famous New York restaurant, Tavern on the Green is going out of business. I have never been there, and I never even knew that I wanted to go there until I read about it going out of business. Isn't that silly?

    I had heard of Tavern on the Green before, but who hasn't? I never knew anything about it and never gave any thought to it before though. Now I have seen pictures of its dining rooms and gardens and they are utterly beautiful; decorated in th...

    On Memorial Day my mother called and asked me if I wanted to be in a movie. In the local events posted online there was an ad about a movie that needed extras to film an audience scene for a movie about a band that wins a country music contest. The ad said the movie was to be a Hollywood feature, that every age was welcome, and to dress in regular clothes.

    I have this quotation on my author's page and thought you'd enjoy it, too.

    "Not only does the English language borrow words from other languages, it sometimes chases them down dark alleys, hits them over the head and goes through their pockets." - Eddy Peters
