http://stacielewis.com/blog4 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:23:03 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Reading my last post reminds me of how far I've come, sorry - how far we've come in the past five months. My darling May Sylvia was born on 23 April 2009. She suffered terribly during her first week and we have since discovered that she has severe brain damage. Not ... http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2009/09/21/may-has-arrived/ One month until D-Day! It is unbelievable how fast this pregnancy has gone. And, now that it is almost over, lots of people have assumed I will write my next book about the past eight (soon to be nine!) months. When I wrote Taking the Plunge it was because I felt I ... http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2009/03/31/almost-there/ It's been a lovely year... summer on the lake in a very sunny Michigan (a rare gift in itself), a new job this September in a school that I love, a move up into the beautiful hills of Crystal Palace overlooking London and now, the biggest news of all, I'm ... http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2008/12/16/the-year-in-review/ To my husband: 8 years on! And on! And on! I love you. http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2008/08/15/happy-anniversary/ Some incredible news to share! Taking the Plunge has hit the American bookshelves! When I was in the US this summer visiting the folks, my friend Tina and I met up at a favourite book store. "Let's just see..." she said to my total disbelief. But when we walked up to ... http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2008/08/12/taking-the-plunge-in-the-usofa/ Last night I stayed up past midnight writing my new book! It is such a relief after a year of writer's block to be writing. In my new book, the main character goes on some horrendous bad dates. Fun for me, but not so fun for her. These are mainly set up ... http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2008/07/01/finally-a-rewarding-blind-date/ The second book is hard. The first one was written ten minutes here, two hours there, for as long as my heart desired. I did it as a hobby - something to divide my time into student time and my time. Because, contrary to students' beliefs, a new teacher really does ... http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2008/06/22/the-next-book/ Back at university, The Lewis Gambit was when any of my (unfortunate) friends would allow me to play pool with them teamed against another (always better) team. Every once in awhile the Lewis Gambit would pay off, but generally this meant that the other side were drunker than we were. I've ... http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2008/06/15/the-lewis-gambit/ My mom says to me today, as we drive in from LA to Palm Desert where she lives... wow, I just realised how rambling that sounded. To clarify, I'm at home in the USofA visiting my family. My mom lives in CA. We are discussing my niece and nephew. Anyhoooo. My ... http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2008/04/16/boy-eats-babys-head/ It seems fitting to put some photos on my blog of London's snow today. After all, my publishers are Snowbooks. So anything to do with snow is surely just good marketing on their part. Emma Barnes, the Managing Director of Snowbooks, is one clever lady to arrange the snow to coincide ... http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2008/04/06/london-snow/
