The C Word

I won’t lie to you. I’m a little depressed. And it’s not because I keep getting emails from people who are angry with me because they ran out to buy my new books and it turns out they’ve already read them…. To those people, I just want to say, I’m very pleased you enjoyed my […]

Pants on Fire Tour Day 9 and 10…HOME!

Well…I made it (almost…I’m writing this from my hotel room in Chicago, where I’m about to leave to catch a plane back to Miami, and from there, a plane home to Key West). I’m just hours away from being done with my Pants on Fire tour! And thanks to all of you, Pants on Fire […]

Pants On Fire Tour Day One

Greetings from Dallas-Fort Worth, the first stop on my Pants on Fire tour! People always ask me, “Don’t you get tired of traveling all the time?” but in this case I’m actually relieved to be back on the road because things were getting a little hinky back in Key West. That’s because one of the […]

Comfort Reads

Big news: Pants on Fire will be Number 6 on the New York Times Children’s Chapter Bestseller List! So thanks, everybody!! Who saw The Office last night? Was Pam amazing or WHAT???? How much do you want to bet Karen is going to get the job? And how awesome was Gilmore Girls (which I’ve started […]

Reviews/Shining On/Prom Babies/Radio

Man, things have been cRaZy lately! Check out this hilarious review of Pants on Fire from the New York Daily News and this other hilarious PW review we just posted on the Pants on Fire page. Are those awesome or what? I love that the DAILY NEWS notes that there’s an important lesson to be […]

READERS UNITE TO GET MEG BANNED—YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU TRY!!!

Pants On Fire is in US stores now! And it’s already a Summer 2007 Book Sense Children’s Picks List! This is a rockin’ way to start the week. Thanks, Book Sense! In other news, fellow YA author Maureen Johnson’s book The Bermudez Triangle has been banned! Maureen is so lucky. I’m jealous. Why does everyone […]

Sam ‘n Katie

Greetings from the plastic bubble in which I am now living. Ha! Totally kidding. The cats and I are getting along fine. I love my new allergy meds. They make me have cRaZy dreams, though. Like, I dreamt Tony Soprano and I were on a Delta shuttle flight with all these high school kids, but […]

Tour! Mary! Jinx! Sascha Rothberg! Rainbows!

I normally don’t post on Saturdays but there’s just so much news this morning I don’t know if I’ll have room for it all if we stick to our normal weekly schedule, so here goes: Thanks so much for your support of Officer Friendly. Sadly, he won’t be able to stop by your blog or […]

Flying Stinks!

I’m writing this from the Conch Flyer Restaurant at the airport in Key Restaurant (and yes, it IS just like the one where Crystal Bernard worked on the show WINGS), waiting to board my plane to Germany (well, to Miami, then to Germany) for my European book tour. I have a sinus infection (apparently caught […]

Take Cover

Quick post before we head off into the weekend, you to have fun (I’m just guessing) and me to work on my manuscript without the benefit of chocolate or artificial stimulants: I have new and improved (in my opinion, anyway) covers for my April and May releases, Prom Nights from Hell and Pants on Fire […]

Thanksgiving 2006

Things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving season: Dirty paws. Glasses. When they're on, it means I'm working and not to bother me. I LOVE them. Making the Lone Star Reading List (This is actually better than getting banned!) Princesses. Or just people who dress like them. Moms. Readers. From the kind who “rescue” dogs […]

ANSWERS!

People have been emailing me with tons of questions about the new books (and demanding that I write Harry Potter's Honeymoon at Hotel Erotica Cabo). Here are some answers: Why are there two different covers for How To Be Popular? There aren't. There is one cover…and a silver foil slip cover. You'll see when the […]
