STUFF, MOSTLY ABOUT TV

LIVE CHAT TONIGHT!!!Hey, there's a live chat on my new book, EVERY BOY'S GOT ONE, at the Meg Cabot Book Club tonight at 7PM Eastern Standard Time. Hope to see you there! Okay, so I have been reading some other authors' blogs, and apparently, other authors write about BOOKS in their blogs, not TV. Who  Read more »

Their Super Sweet Second Marriage

Okay, so remember how I said it was wrong for those kids on My Super Sweet Sixteen– the MTV documentary show about kids' real life over-the-top sweet sixteen birthday parties–to have such huge blow-out parties, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, even though they're all like, “But I deserve it”? Well, it's still wrong. But  Read more »

Henrietta and the President’s Day Weekend of Doom

So guess what people who come to Key West for President's Day weekend like to do (you know, besides drink, shop, lounge by the pool, go boating, eat, and visit Pat Croce's new pirate museum)? That's right. Check out the local real estate market, and tour homes that are for sale! Which means I got  Read more »

OPEN HOUSE

Did I mention that I bought a new house here in Key West? Oh, well, maybe I forgot to mention it. A lot has been going on, after all, what with My Super Sweet Sixteen and the OC and all. Anyway, now that we bought a new house here in Key West, we have no  Read more »

But my publisher beat me to it! There's already a written excerpt posted there! So instead I will just have to  Read more »

EXCELLENT MAIL

I spend so much time in the blog dwelling on my crummy mail, I figured it was time to post some of the sweet, touching, informative, and hilarious letters I get, as well. You know, equal time, and all of that. Obviously, I didn't post any of the senders names/email addresses, since I'm sure they  Read more »

Media Round Up

OK, so my TiVo erased everything I taped while I was on tour because I set it at FINE quality recording instead of HIGH and there were only 21 hours of memory left and it all got eaten up by the BBC America show, HOUSE DOCTOR, which is on like 5 times a day. So  Read more »

DOLPHINQUEST 2005

Wow. Thanks so much for the hundreds of birthday messages and greetings. I don't know how I will ever get through them all, there are so many, but I will certainly try. It's very reassuring to know that there are so many people out there whose moms are older than I am. Thank you. I  Read more »
