Read Our Lips
Hey! Here’s something Michele Jaffe and I have been working on, with the help of my friends Brian and Lisa (Lisa was my first boss at Hayden Hall, the dorm I worked in at NYU. You won’t find a character based on Lisa in the Heather Wells mystery series though…at least not yet!)… …and we […]
Made of Suck
Wow! Lots of requests for Being Nikki Advanced Reader Copies. Keep them coming! We’re still sorting through the requests and seeing how many copies we can get from the publisher. We (by we I mean myself or Nancy, my indefatigable assistant) will let you know if one is headed your way. And, um, we (by […]
No Blue Wieners (or Zombies) Allowed
Guess what? Her Royal Highness Princess Mia Thermopolis has updated her blog (finally…it’s hard to be a student princess/romance novelist). There’s Ransom My Heart in France and Spring Break news! Mon Dieu. And if you haven’t voted for Airhead as your choice for Teen Book of the Year at the Children’s Choice Book Awards, what […]
The Day After
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope you’re wearing green, even if you’re not Irish…it’s lucky, you know. And we all need as much luck as we can get these days! I had my Friends of the Library event last night with Judy Blume and though I do say so myself, I think it went pretty […]
Did you see it?
Were you there? Don’t worry! If you missed it, you can go here and watch the whole thing…and register to win the bedroom set, which is SUPER CUTE, as you can see here: (You win both beds and the bedding and the night stand and the lamp and the alarm clock and the green polk-a-dot […]
It’s Slumber Party Day!
I’m getting ready for my slumber party with comedian Caroline Rhea tonight (although technically, we’re not actually sleeping over anywhere, but we’ll be wearing pajamas) and I haven’t even washed my hair yet. Although it’s pretty exciting (not the hair part) because kids sent in their own rules and tonight they find out if their […]
Publication Day!
I can’t believe it! This day totally snuck up on me. I only got off the plane for New York City (yes! The Big Apple! Actually, I hate it when people call it that, because, whatever, there really aren’t that many more apples here than anywhere else) yesterday, and next thing I knew—Allie Finkle’s Rules […]
Advice, Please!
Whenever I was feeling sad because a boy had said something mean to me or dumped me or asked some other girl to the prom and not me, my mom would make me a cup of hot cocoa in a special Mary Englebreit mug we used to have that looked like this: It had this […]
Lunch with Judy Blume! And I’m Late For It!
I have to make this short and sweet because I’m leaving in a few minutes for lunch with Judy Blume! You’ve heard of Judy Blume, right? She’s the one who taught you all about sex in her book Forever (page 95!) and about God and having your period in Are You There God It’s Me […]
