Sam ‘n Katie
Greetings from the plastic bubble in which I am now living. Ha! Totally kidding. The cats and I are getting along fine. I love my new allergy meds. They make me have cRaZy dreams, though. Like, I dreamt Tony Soprano and I were on a Delta shuttle flight with all these high school kids, but […]
You Can Make a Difference!
Diagnosis…negative. It’s not sinusitis. It’s just allergies. But I do have mild acid reflux! Thanks for all your well wishes and home remedies. I will try them. I’m laying off the taquitos for a while (and maybe I’ll give writing in an upright–as opposed to reclining–position a try). Hey…what do you think of the new […]
Yuck
I just got home from the hospital. I had to go in for some tests because ever since I got back from Europe I’ve had a) a weird buzzing feeling in my head, and b) this weird sensation that something is stuck in my throat. If you are like some people in my family—and perhaps […]
Tour! Mary! Jinx! Sascha Rothberg! Rainbows!
I normally don’t post on Saturdays but there’s just so much news this morning I don’t know if I’ll have room for it all if we stick to our normal weekly schedule, so here goes: Thanks so much for your support of Officer Friendly. Sadly, he won’t be able to stop by your blog or […]
A Visit From Officer Friendly
I know given the tragic events of this past week, it’s hard not to feel a little afraid right now (in spite of what I blogged about just last Monday). That’s why I’ve asked Officer Friendly to stop by this blog. You all remember Officer Friendly, don’t you? He used to stop by your kindergarten […]
How Not To Be Afraid
Have you ever heard the advice, “Do one thing that scares you every day”? This is actually a famous quote from Eleanor Roosevelt. The first time I heard this quote, I was like, “Huh?” Why would you purposefully set out to do something you’re AFRAID of? EVERY day? But then I started thinking about it […]
Shirtless Wizards/Prom Nights Excerpt
Another actual conversation: Beth: “So have you caught up with everything you TiVoed while you were away?” Me: “Ha. Like what? You mean eleven billion episodes of 24, the world’s most boring show? Yeah. Nothing else new was on, thanks to American I Told You So Idol.” Beth: “That’s not true. Something else new was […]
Valerie Bertinelli Must Die
Actual Conversation: Me: “Honey, did we get People Magazine this weekend?” He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog: “…Yes.” Me: “Well, where’d it go?” HWSNBNITB: “I have it.” Me: “You do? Well, can I look at it?” HWSNBNITB: “…No.” Me: “Why not?” HWSNBNITB: “Because I’m still reading it.” Me: “You ARE? But you […]
Books (Mine!) ‘n Art (Yours!)
I hope you’ve all seen the beautiful new flash images at the top of Megcabot.com, letting everyone know about (most of) my Spring/Summer releases! Big thanks to Janey and her hard-working team…. And I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that the anthology I’ve got a novella appearing in along with Michele Jaffe, Kim Harrison, Stephanie […]
Home
I’m finally home from our European book tour! Even though I was only gone a little more than three weeks, it seems as if I was away much longer than that. Have you ever been away on a long trip and come home to realize everything in your house is much smaller than your remembered? […]
