LITERARY GOSSIP

Well, I'm very relieved. Many of you turn out to be bird watchers, or know ornithologists, or even ARE ornithologists (or used to work in zoos), and you all have done a splendid job reassuring me that the gigantic bird that has taken up residence in my backyard is an osprey, and that osprey's don't […]

The WB IS SPYING ON ME

Hey! Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. I know I did. I can tell, since none of my jeans fit and I'm forced to wear my yoga pants (not that I have ever actually done yoga in them) with the elastic waistband. Anyway, Saturday there was a knock on my door, and we opened […]

WHY WON’T THESE CATS STOP STARING AT YOU?

Because they want you to come to tomorrow's chat with author Wendy Mass, who will be joining us LIVE to talk about her excellent book, A Mango-Shaped Space. Come here tomorrow, Sunday, November 27 at 2PM EST. Be there, or my cats will just keep STARING RIGHT AT YOU. More later. Much love, Meg

THANKSGIVING

So if you live in the US you are probably preparing for Thanksgiving right now, which is a national holiday here on Thursday, where everybody gets together for the sole purpose of consuming a GIGANTIC MEAL (oh…and giving thanks). Then we all sit around in a daze watching football and/or Christmas movies, until the stores […]

CATEGORY 7 RECAP CONTEST

Well, people, it was VERY difficult to select a winner in this contest, because there were so many entries, and many of them were so very, very good. But in the end I had to go with the entry written by a young lady who has clearly watched way more television than I have—a feat […]

SO MANY RECAPS, SO LITTLE TIME

I will be posting the winning entry of the CATEGORY SEVEN recap contest after the contest deadline has passed tomorrow night, and I have had time to read all the entries. In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy my answers to these FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: ***Meg, why isn't there anything about HOLIDAY PRINCESS on […]

GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS

Okay, so I have good news and bad news. The bad news is, it looks like I will not be home from the bar mitzvah I have to go to in time to watch the conclusion of the television event of the year, CATEGORY SEVEN, and Internet and cable service has still not been restored […]

No Scrubs

Well, I don't know what to say. I am as shocked as any of you at the apparent dissolution of Britney's marriage to Kevin Federline. I can't say I didn't expect it…but I thought they would last at least until Christmas. I was relieved when Brit called to tell me she had it all under […]

CATEGORY SEVEN

Okay, I just found out Shannen Doherty is in this made-for-TV disaster movie, supposedly a sequel to last year's CATEGORY SIX which I apparently saw but I don't remember. Who cares? I can't dwell in the past. With Shannen Doherty in it, HOW CAN IT BE BAD???? DONNA MARTIN GRADUATES!!!! That is why I feel […]

New Size 12 Cover/Reviews/Award

Well, I have a new review for my December 27, 2005 release, SIZE 12 IS NOT FAT, and you know what that means: A new cover! I don't know why every time I get a new review, it is accompanied by a new cover. This is the final cover for this book (I hope), but […]
