I’m about to walk out the door for my Queen of Babble in the Big City mini-tour! And by mini I mean mini…I’m going to Miami for one day to do TV satellite. Yep, that’s right. I’m going to be sitting in a television studio Thursday morning, and different news shows across the country will […]

It’s Here!

Queen of Babble In The Big City is in stores at last! At least, it should be. If you go to your local bookstore, and it’s not on shelves, just ask for it. It could still be in a box in the back. That’s why it’s always a good idea to call ahead. That’s what […]

TWO MORE DAYS!

Seriously, if one more person emailed me to say they had gotten their pre-ordered copy of Queen of Babble in the Big City, I think I was going to have an embolism. Because as of yesterday, I STILL hadn’t seen a finished copy! Of my own book! Which comes out in TWO DAYS! But after […]

Pardon my French

Sorry for the lack of updates, but my server crashed. The result is that it has been impossible for me to post updates to my blog to the site (you might have noticed the site has been loading kind of slow). Many thanks to Jared for fixing it. You rock, Jared! This is not the […]

Summer Reading

I just got back from a business trip (and yes, Henrietta has not shut up once since I came home. I can’t imagine that much stuff happened while I was gone, but she seems to determined to tell me every…single…detail about it), and while I was on the plane I read some great books. Here […]

Constance Holland, A Great Teacher

Let’s take a break from talking about Paris—and the awesome Sopranos finale–to discuss something—or actually, someone– important, shall we? And that’s teachers. Specifically, one teacher. I feel profoundly lucky to have had a lot of great teachers (and just a few sucky ones), but Mrs. Holland (Connie to her friends…of which I was not one, […]

Officer Friendly Speaks Out on Paris Hilton Case

Confused by the recent events in the Paris Hilton case, I turned to my brother–soon to be a sergeant on a Colorado city police force–for clarification. Me: Matt, do you think they are treating Paris Hilton unfairly—penalizing her, even—and making an example out of her, just because she is a celebrity, by making her serve […]

Show and Tell

Lots of fun stuff to show and tell you all! So we’d better get started…. First of all, my new crush Al Gore hasn’t e’d me. I totally understand why he wouldn’t since we’re both married to other people and all. But you would think he’d have written to say SOMETHING, even if it was […]

Contests and Crushes

So much happened this weekend! And I don’t mean at Book Expo America, which is THE major publishing industry event. Actually, a lot of stuff happened there this weekend, but I wouldn’t know, since I wasn’t at BEA. I got a break from it this year, since I was just on a book tour. But […]

Important things you have written to tell me:
