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  Read more »

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  Read more »

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  Read more »

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  Read more »

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 »

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 »

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).
