Allie Finkle Has Her Own Website!
In case you haven’t noticed, my new book character, star of Allie Finkle’s Rules For Girls, has her very own website…. …and it’s finally up and running (just in time for Allie to hit #4 on the NY Times Children’s Chapter book list)! Yay! Yes, her website IS quite fancy. Thank you for noticing. You […]
SATC movie
I totally forgot to tell you that last week I saw the new extended Sex and the City movie trailer and it required me to have like a half hour counseling session–I mean conversation–with my friend Beth. So watch it at your own risk! Our conversation was like this: “Why did they even have to […]
Oh My Blog
For the two people who read this who fell asleep before the Oscars were over, I will now provide a recap: First Gem started out sitting on my lap. Then she moved to He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog’s Lap. Then she moved to our houseguest’s lap. But our houseguest had an […]
Victory is Mine–But I Should Have Washed My Hair.
We just gave away a bunch of copies of Princess Mia. Now we’re giving away a bunch of copies of Allie Finkle’s Rules For Girls. Just click here! Being an author can be completely surreal sometimes. This morning I was eating my Cheerios while reading the local paper which I always enjoy immensely because it […]
Slap Happy
Good grief! Never have I written so much so furiously! I am totally exhausted from all this writing. I have forsaken everything in my personal and business life in pursuit of The End. I even forgot to pay attention Henrietta (it’s okay, she has Whiskas Temptations, her new obsession, which I keep throwing at her […]
Contest Winners
Congratulations to the winners of the Princess Diaries IX: Princess Mia T-Shirt Design Contest! We were originally only going to have one winner. But some of you sent in fantastic designs that were Princess Diaries themed, though not necessarily Princess Diaries IX themed. And they were so good, we still wanted to consider them. So […]
Climb Aboard
Last night was a really difficult night for many of us, because it was the Grammys…. …but they were also showing the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice on Masterpiece! vs. How were we to choose? But before I get to that, I totally have to mention that Allie Finkle’s Rules For Girls: Moving […]
Allie Finkle + Susanna Hoffs = Love
It turns out I have a new book out in stores. The first book in my new series for middle grade readers, Allie Finkle’s Rules For Girls: Moving Day, is apparently already for sale in US shops and on online retailers! I guess there was some confusion because I had Allie down as a March […]
Super Fat Tuesday
Today is like the craziest Tuesday in all of history or something. It’s Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras in New Orleans) and Super Tuesday (tons of people in the US are voting in a super important election) and…. …also the day of the huge ticker tape parade in New York City for the Superbowl winners! I […]
Birthday Slut
Thanks to everyone who sent me happy birthday wishes yesterday! Sadly, it was a working birthday. I’ve sworn to myself that next month, when I’m done with Princess Diaries 10, I’m going to take a week off at a tropical island resort somewhere, and just lay around in a hammock, and do nothing. (I realize […]
