Could this have been a crazier week? First Tiger’s wife went Carrie Underwood on him! Then my husband took a swan dive and broke his ankle!

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 »

I had so much fun at the Distinguished Alumni event at Indiana University this past weekend! It was great to visit with old friends, make cool new ones (I met Josie Bloss, the author of Band Geek Love, which I haven’t read yet, but I’m going to!), and hang out at my old campus. It  Read more »

So I’m home now recovering from my world tour (more on my re-entry in a later post), but I just want to let you know that I won’t be home for long. I’m going to be taking off soon to accept a really big honor from my college, Indiana University, which is giving me…wait for  Read more »

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  Read more »

Hey! Are you having a good Meg Cabot Day? Thanks to reader Karina for reminding me that today is Meg Cabot Day, as declared in July 2004 by the Mayor of Bloomington, Indiana (it’s also JK Rowling’s and Harry Potter’s birthdays, ironically). Here are some facts about my book JINX, which was also born on  Read more »

“All my bags are packed. I’m ready to go. I’m standin’ here outside your door. I hate to wake you up to say goodbye. ‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane. Don’t know when I’ll be back again. Oh, babe, I hate to go….” (Sound familiar? Most readers are probably thinking of Chantal Kreviazuk from  Read more »

I’ve just discovered something horrible: People—allegedly “friends” of mine—have been placing bets to see how long I’ll last in the barnhouse in Indiana to which I’ve re-located while my kitchen in Key West is being renovated. Apparently the pot is over $400. I don’t know where they got the idea that I can’t handle rustic.  Read more »
