Fantasyfest!
So it turns out down here in Key West they go NUTS for Halloween. Not just ON Halloween, either, but starting last weekend they've been blocking off the main drag at night (Duvall Street) and all these people have just been standing in the middle of the street, partying all day and all night. It's […]

My Trip to England
Well, as you may have gathered, I am back from my book tour in England, and am finally able to breathe through my nose again (I caught a wicked cold while I was there). Also, my voice came back (I have nodules on my vocal chords from when I did musical theater as a teen, […]
Ask Meg’s Mom
Hi. I'm Barb, Meg's mom. Meg wanted me to let you know that she is safely back from her book tour in England. However, she contracted a nasty virus there, from which she is still in bed recovering. I'm sure it is not SARS, as she keeps insisting. But as a mom I know that […]
FAREWELL BRITAIN
I would just like to say that I have learned a lot since coming to England. I have learned about British culture (they all hate Posh) and British food (there is no such thing as bacon here. Here, all bacon is ham). I have learned how to properly prepare tea (milk goes in the cup […]
The Souvenir No One Wants
Yes. It is true. I have it. It started the morning of the Albert Hall appearance as a tickle. By Milton Keynes it was a full on throb. And by Cheltenham, I knew it wasn't going to go away without major medical intervention. Yes. I have it. The souvenir no one wants: A head cold. […]

Email Crisis
I am so tired. So, so tired. I got up sooooo early to go on BBC Breakfast. And it was very fun, don't get me wrong, but not as fun as going on Blue Peter yesterday, where I got to hang around with seven St. Bernards, four of which were puppies. Puppies really keep you […]
BLACK PUDDING
Okay, so I'm the biggest loser, I'm in London, one of the biggest, most exciting cities in the world, and I have the morning off from book signing off, and instead of going to the National Gallery or Buckingham Palace or even Bond Street to shop, like I planned (well, OK, to be honest I […]
Notes from my UK Book Tour
Hallo, as they say in England (or at least, that's how it sounds)! I made it “across the pond” to London where I am typing this in front of a big roaring fire in the “drawing room” of my hotel (I am not even kidding). Anyway, it was quite a journey getting here, I had […]
