Some crazy stuff happens in Florida. In my books that are set in Florida, the crazy stuff that happens is fiction. But the craziest stories that come out of the Sunshine State are the ones that no fiction writer would ever make up. Because they’re just too bizarre. Take this one, for example, as a […]

Saturday Special: Procrastination Is Genetic?
Did you see the study about procrastination that came out this week? The study was published in Psychological Science. It found that procrastination is a trait that can be inherited. That makes me feel a lot better! Of course, I know DNA is destiny. That’s why I have my mother’s eyes and my my dad’s hair. […]
Revealing Fingerprints
109 years ago today, for the first time ever, fingerprint evidence was used in a high-profile murder case. A pair of shopkeepers in London — Thomas and Ann Farrow — were found beaten to death. Scotland Yard detected the motive to be robbery. By examining the Farrows’ cash box, they were able to pick out […]
Readers Name Favorite TV Shows
Recently, I posed this question to readers on My Facebook page: What’s your favorite TV show?

Responses were varied, fun, and very enlightening. (We’ll get to that in a second.) First, for […]

Willa Carson loves Coffee Con Leche. Carlos Gaspar likes coffee with loads of milk and sugar. Kim Otto drinks hers black, like me. In Get Back Jack alone, there […]
Feeling Frazzled? Try The Law of Least Effort

Comics like Woody Allen and Albert Brooks have spent decades entertaining us with variations on the wry joke that “Life Sucks – And Then You Die.” Yet, studies repeatedly […]
Happy Thanksgiving and NewsFlash!
NEWSFLASH about NewsFlash! This week, our first NewsFlash! arrived at inboxes around the world. So what’s a NewsFlash! ? Think of it as sort of the anti-newsletter. The goal was to create a short and clear email note with goodies and gold nuggets of information exclusively to Diane Capri Crowd members. I don’t want to give […]
Listen Up! Four For The Road (And Two Free!)
One of the best things about the digital age is downloading audio books easily onto an MP3 player, isn’t it? So much easier and faster and cheaper than CDs and a clunky portable CD player. In my case, my first iPod led me from PCs into the world of Apple and I’ve become a total […]
