As you know if you’ve been following my Twitter feed, my cat Henrietta has been having some health concerns. Nothing life threatening . . . unless you call inexplicably pulling out her own fur and then spitting it across the room life threatening. Which of course I do, because now there’s a bald spot across Read more »
It’s that time of year again. The one where we cease all normal activity and are forced to sit at a dinner table with a bunch of people we probably don’t see that often (or sometimes even necessarily like all that much). In some households, we hold hands with these people, say a prayer, then Read more »
If I’ve seemed distant lately, I honestly do have a good reason. And it’s not because I’ve been on some glamorous book tour for Allie Finkle’s latest adventure, which is, believe it or not, in stores now. No, the truth is, my husband has left me.

I’ll be speaking at the Children’s Book & Author Breakfast with authors Tomie de Paola and Amy Krouse Rosenthal. Julie Andrews will be the Read more »
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 »
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 »
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 Read more »
