My Television Character Doppelganger

So, as you probably are aware, each and every one of us has a television character doppelganger (meaning a spiritual or ghostly double or counterpart; esp., an apparitional double of a living person; a cowalker), a character on TV who is almost or exactly like us, to the point that you almost suspect the writers […]

STUFFed

Oh my God, I have eaten SO MUCH since coming to New York. It's a good thing I'm going back to the land of grilled fish and salads (not to mention my bikes, Purple Heat and Pinky—did I mention Pinky? She's the backup bike for guests), because I can barely fit into my jeans, I've […]

L.A.M.B., or Not Without My Sausage

Happy (belated) Mother's Day. I spent my Mother's Day doing what I do on just about every Sunday—watching made-for-TV movies. There were some particularly dishy ones on yesterday, due to it being Mother's Day, and all. There was a fabulous one my friend Jen called to alert me to, starring my favorite made-for-TV movie actress […]

MAIL BAG

Hi! I'm back from San Antonio, which, in case you didn't know, is the home of the Alamo. San Antonio is really pretty. My hotel was located on this thing called the Riverwalk, which is like this river you can walk along the side of, past all these pretty restaurants and cafes. And they have […]

Writing a Screenplay

I am off to San Antonio to speak at the International Reading Association convention, and attend a booksigning. In the meantime, below is some info a few of you have been clamoring for. (On a side note, if 600 guests had been invited to MY wedding, I'd have run away too.) Ever since ICE PRINCESS […]
