Writing: Exercise for Your Mind

It’s the last week of February! You know what that means: Yes…the final romance give-away from megcabot.com! But before I get into that I want to talk about the #1 question I got while I was on my mini-tour this past week. And that was, surprisingly, not “Where do you get your inspiration?” but “Where  Read more »

Allie Finkle 3 Sneak Peek

I’m writing this from a location of mystery. Yes, I’ve gone rogue! The plane I took from Chicago to Miami was late, thanks to de-icing (but de-icing is good…we like de-icing), so I missed my connecting flight to Key West. Then the airline tried to put me in a shuttle with a bunch of other  Read more »

Battle in the Forbidden City

I’m in the Miami Airport American Eagle Lounge on my way to Chicago for my signings this week. It’s all fancy in here and everyone is drinking white wine and tapping on their laptops (except me, I just have sparkling water and a laptop)…. …except this one kid, obviously just getting back from vacation on  Read more »

Bike Accidents and Book Giveaways

The Valentine Day Contest is over! Just letting you know because for some reason I’m still getting entries even though the contest ended at midnight on Valentine’s Day.

The books (yes, that says books, plural) I’m giving away this week are: Tommy Sullivan Is a Freak This the UK paperback version of  Read more »

How to Get an Agent

I’m home from my signing in Miami—it was such a blast! I met a ton of fantastic readers, as well as the incredible team from Yathenaem (which I’m pretty sure I spelled wrong in both of Books and Books guest books—sorry, you guys! I’ve gotten a little too reliant on Spellcheck). I never did get  Read more »

I’m off to Miami tomorrow for my signing at Books and Books!* I hope I’ll see some of you there! *Just added–I’ve just received word there will be a DJ…and a chocolate fountain. Thank you, Books and Books! I’ll be sure to let those of you who won ARCs of Best Friends and Drama Queens  Read more »

Free Books—Allie Finkle 3

Yes, it’s February, the month of romance…. So naturally, I’m giving away romances here at megcabot.com! First up: All right, the first book I’m giving away isn’t technically a romance, but there’s kissing in it (even if the boys who get kissed don’t like it). You so know you want an Advanced Reader Copy of  Read more »

Royal Send Off

Happy Groundhog’s Day! I hope none of you are reliving the same day over and over like Bill Murray…. …or that if you are, it’s a really good day! My birthday yesterday was a day I wouldn’t mind reliving over and over (well, except for the part where I ate something that had peanut sauce  Read more »
