http://stacielewis.com/blog4 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 00:47:36 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en 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/ I didn't mean to not write on this blog for so long. But, some of us have jobs you know! Not the least of which is trying to get my next book finished and sent off to publishers (to reject - I'm feeling very positive). New Year's was brilliant. We kept ... http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2008/02/24/2008-so-far/ Forget writing, I am an obsessive reader. Without a book I can't sleep. I get incredibly irritable. I will drive an hour out of my way to hit a bookstore if I know I'm on the last pages of a current read. And I will read anything if nothing else is ... http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2007/12/21/my-name-is-stacie-lewis-and-i-am-addicted-to-reading/ Two hour commutes! Delayed trains! Comments on my "windswept" hair! All these I have endured since I moved jobs. Currently, I am traveling every day, 3 trains and almost two hours from NW London down to the edge of Bromley, SE London. Things I no longer wonder about: 1. If "windswept" is a ... http://stacielewis.com/blog4/2007/12/06/moving/
