All New!
Welcome to the newly redesigned megcabot.com! The site's got a brand new look to celebrate all the brand new books that will be coming out in the next few weeks. I loved my old site, and want to thank Colleen and all the folks at Harper for working so hard on it. But I'm excited […]
Grrls Who Rock
Time for a giveaway! In honor of my new book SIZE 14 IS NOT FAT EITHER coming out tomorrow, we're having a GrrlRocker giveaway! As you may know by now, Heather Wells, the former-teen-popstar-turned-amateur-sleuth heroine of SIZE 12 IS NOT FAT is returning for an encore performance. And to celebrate this fact, the awesome band […]
LOCKDOWN
Who is freaking out right now? No, not because you stuffed yourself with too much turkey and stuffing yesterday! Or because you missed the JC Penney special holiday sale opening at five this morning. I mean because you're trying to finish up your NaNoWriMo book as desperately as I am, and you just realized you […]
Thanksgiving 2006
Things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving season: Dirty paws. Glasses. When they're on, it means I'm working and not to bother me. I LOVE them. Making the Lone Star Reading List (This is actually better than getting banned!) Princesses. Or just people who dress like them. Moms. Readers. From the kind who “rescue” dogs […]

NaNoWriMo in Puerto Rico
14,656. That's how many words I have so far on the book I'm writing for National Novel Writing Month. Of course, while 14,656 words is a good start, my book has to be more than the 50,000 word length suggested by NaNoWriMo. So while you might think a word count of 14,656 is impressive, considering […]
I Have a Dream
I'm so jealous. One of Susan Juby's books has been banned in Texas. Can I just say it has always been my DREAM to get banned? I even have a whole speech written up in case it ever happens, so I can remember to thank the people who helped get me banned (my publisher; editor; […]
The Danger of Leggings
OK, I know leggings are the hot new look right now. And believe me, I love them too. Let's face it, a nice pair of black cotton leggings under a blousy tunic or babydoll top looks good on just about any girl. Of course, we knew this back in the eighties, when this look first […]
