New Look
Hi! You might notice (if you’ve emptied your cache lately) that there’s a new look around here. That was my rockin’ web crew over at Hanee Design. I had nothing to do with it. I’m in SWEDEN. People here speak a different language, but if you go, “Do you speak English?” they’ll switch right over […]
World Wide Book Tour, Part Three—Bath, Bristol, and Swindon
I saw Jane Austen! I know you don’t believe me but okay I did sort of see her since there were all these people dressed up like her in Bath as the Bath Children’s Book Festival was going on at the same time as the Jane Austen conference. The Janeites were busy going to the […]
World Wide Tour, London Part Deux—Also, YA for Obama
Oh my God, I’m so tired. Not to complain, because it’s been lovely meeting so many of you (actually, that’s the best part). But there’s no jet lag recovery time on book tour. As you might have observed while watching Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List or Tori Spelling: Home Sweet Hollywood, they […]
World Wide Tour, London
I’m now on my world (by which I mean London, Sweden, South Africa, and parts of Asia, all in twenty-seven days) book tour! Today I did so much, I’m reeling from le tiredness (pardon me if I start speaking in French but you know I AM right across the Channel from there). First I got […]
Princess and the (Green)Peace Press Release
I’m off to my world tour today but I want to make sure you hear this here first since the press release went out today: THE PRINCESS AND THE (GREEN)PEACE Bestselling Author Meg Cabot Reveals that Princess Mia Thermopolis Will Pen Historical Romance Debut, RANSOM MY HEART: (Avon A/an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers; ISBN 9780061700071; […]
Meg TV
Y(ike)s! over Ike. I spent a summer in Houston once and used to go to Galveston for the delicious seafood there (and saltwater taffy). Such a beautiful island! I hope both Houston and Galveston and all the areas affected by Ike will be back on their feet soon. But until then, we’ll have our memories […]
9/11/08
I can’t believe it’s the seven year anniversary of 9/11. Every year on this day I try to post this link to the story of what that day was like for us in lower Manhattan, with He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog working across the street from the World Trade Center when […]
Premature Evacuation
I know I promised to live blog Hurricane Ike, but it’s pummeling poor Cuba and leaving the Keys alone. They even cancelled the evacuation! The whole thing must be very heartbreaking to all these news crews gathered on the main street downtown, as you can see…. They are disconsolate there isn’t more drama! In fact, […]
Don’t Be Like Me
Okay, so I know there was a mandatory evacuation for the Florida Keys in expectation of Hurricane Ike. But I didn’t go. It’s a good thing I don’t write for Random House! There are numerous reasons why I didn’t leave, and not all of them have to do with the totally cute shoes I ordered […]
Covers and a Contest
To celebrate the release of The New Girl in this country and Airhead and The New Girl in the UK, (and to distract myself from the fact that there is a Category 4 Hurricane bearing down on South Florida, and also that it’s an election year–who can write under these conditions?) I’m having a contest! […]
Hurricanes, Ideas, and Sharks
I hope those of you whose Labor Day wasn’t ruined by Hurricane Gustav had a nice one. And I hope those of who you found yourselves in its path managed to ride it out safely. I was totally minding my own business watching eighty thousand movies in a row that I missed earlier in the […]
