WHERE IN THE WORLD IS MEG?

In light of the fact that this is the week I (gasp) turn forty, an age I complained in my last entry that many people seem to consider “over the hill,” a number of you wrote in to assure me that historically, there are many women who didn’t even reach their stride until they hit […]

Secret Post

I am writing this from a secret location to which He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog and I have escaped in an effort to avoid any well-meaning but misguided attempts to “surprise” me with a party for my 40th birthday next week. Warning to friends and relatives: Do not attempt to find […]

Take Cover

Quick post before we head off into the weekend, you to have fun (I’m just guessing) and me to work on my manuscript without the benefit of chocolate or artificial stimulants: I have new and improved (in my opinion, anyway) covers for my April and May releases, Prom Nights from Hell and Pants on Fire […]

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Dear Everyone, Thank you very much for your recent letters and emails. Your compassion about my break up with TaB (and all products containing aspartame) has been greatly appreciated. As you are no doubt aware, break ups happen. They are painful, but often unavoidable, no matter how great a couple you thought you were. The […]

Goodbye Forever, My Love

I’m going to be hosting a live chat right here on Sunday, January 14, 2007 at 2PM US EST to discuss all my December/January releases! So try to be there! This will be our first chat on the new site so I hope there won’t be any hitches or hiccups, but as always when trying […]

“Never tell me the odds.”

That’s what Han Solo tells the protocol droid C3PO in The Empire Strikes Back*. I first saw that movie as a thirteen year old, but it wasn’t until years later that I realized how true Han’s words were. Because when someone tells you the odds of successfully completing a task about which you’re about to […]

Article in February CosmoGirl! And other Dishy News!

Check out the February issue of CosmoGirl! (on stands now) for an article written by me on the benefits of keeping a journal (hint: they’re not what you’d think), with exclusive excerpts from the ACTUAL journal I kept when I was sixteen (in my own handwriting. With actual boys’ names. It’s so embarrassing)! My article, […]

Author Resolutions for 2007

1) I will not check my book’s ranking on Amazon.com or Barnesandnoble.com. At least, not every 3.6 minutes. 2) I will brush, or at the very least attempt to style, my hair before book signings. 3) I will not put my name in Technorati.com or Google Blog Search to see what people are saying about […]
