Meg Goes To The Movies

Okay so I am back in Key West after a brief stay in Indiana that was cut cruelly short by my psycho cat, who is fine now. But I don’t want to blog about that anymore, I want to blog about the summer movies so far. So here goes, in random order: Harry Potter and […]

No Wagering

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. […]

Cats Gone Wild

I bought a barnhouse in Indiana (literally a barn that has been renovated into a house. We sleep in the hayloft) because I thought it would be a) cool, and b) a good place to go during the hurricane season in Florida. (Special note: since I bought my barnhouse last July, there has not been […]

The Reason We Are Relocating To Indiana on Tuesday

Here is what my kitchen in Florida looks like at the moment (they already started ripping out some of the cabinets yesterday. They are coming back for the rest on Monday. We are making the kitchen more accessible for left-handed chefs, such as He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog. Did you not […]

Happy Fourth of July!

Check it out, my hometown of Bloomington, IN is on one of my favorite shows of all time, MADE (well, okay, SuperMADE)! Turn on MTV tomorrow at eleven am (the episode will no doubt air again sometime soon only I can’t tell you when because my TiVo is gone and has been replaced by DVR […]

TWO MORE DAYS!

Seriously, if one more person emailed me to say they had gotten their pre-ordered copy of Queen of Babble in the Big City, I think I was going to have an embolism. Because as of yesterday, I STILL hadn’t seen a finished copy! Of my own book! Which comes out in TWO DAYS! But after […]

Breaking News:

We won! Jericho LIVES! And if you’re a Harry Potter OR a Switchblade Kittens fan, you will not want to miss this! YES! The Kittens are on MTV! Singing about HARRY POTTER! Visit Drama’s Myspace for her hilarious Podcasts. And when I said I had terrible taste in music I did not mean the Kittens, […]

Contests and Crushes

So much happened this weekend! And I don’t mean at Book Expo America, which is THE major publishing industry event. Actually, a lot of stuff happened there this weekend, but I wouldn’t know, since I wasn’t at BEA. I got a break from it this year, since I was just on a book tour. But […]

Important things you have written to tell me:

–That the message boards are down. I know. Janey is taking them down to give them an upgrade to prepare for the onslaught that occurs every summer when so many of my readers get out of school. Don’t worry, your posts will be saved and they’ll be up again by Monday, if not sooner, and […]

Like Being Poked In The Eye With A Sharp Stick

I’m finally home after my book tour and as usual I arrived to find the house in an uproar…and I don’t mean because Henrietta would not shut up for the forty-eight hours straight it took her to tell me every little detail of what happened while I was gone. I mean because He Who Shall […]

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 […]

Shirtless Wizards/Prom Nights Excerpt

Another actual conversation: Beth: “So have you caught up with everything you TiVoed while you were away?” Me: “Ha. Like what? You mean eleven billion episodes of 24, the world’s most boring show? Yeah. Nothing else new was on, thanks to American I Told You So Idol.” Beth: “That’s not true. Something else new was […]

Tidying Up

It’s Friday! In my house that means it’s time to do some tidying up for the weekend, which is generally when the houseguests show up. As you can see, we’ve been doing lots of tidying up on this site. There are new links on the Meg in the News page under Cool Stuff… And be […]

Birthday Greetings

For those of you who haven’t figured it out by now: I am spending my birthday week in the town of my birth, Bloomington, Indiana! Well, why NOT return to the place where you were born forty years ago? I mean, it’s kind of dishy. At least I can get into the bars now. And […]

Secret Post

I am writing this from a secret location to which He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog and I have escaped in an effort to avoid any well-meaning but misguided attempts to “surprise” me with a party for my 40th birthday next week. Warning to friends and relatives: Do not attempt to find […]

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Dear Everyone, Thank you very much for your recent letters and emails. Your compassion about my break up with TaB (and all products containing aspartame) has been greatly appreciated. As you are no doubt aware, break ups happen. They are painful, but often unavoidable, no matter how great a couple you thought you were. The […]

Meg-A-Readers, I Wanna Rock, Other

Here's an update on a few things readers seem to want to know about (besides why my site looks so different, which I've explained already, and my nine houseguests): The Meg-A-Reader program: The Meg-A-Reader program is a promotional club thingie that my US publisher is doing, similar to my UK publisher's Meg Ambassador program. The […]

VITAMIN TV

Okay, who gave me the chest cold? Well, whatever. At least now I have an excuse to quit studying for my learner's permit and stay in bed all week, absorbing Vitamin TV. In between hacking my lungs out, I mean. I thought I'd be able to watch all those shows I missed while I was […]

WHEN AUTHORS LOSE THEIR MINDS

Let's face it. Sometimes authors go insane. I'm not feeling particularly sane at the moment because I just finished writing a book and it was super intense and I didn't go out for like three weeks straight and now I feel like one of those mole people I made up when this producer at ALL […]

Meg’s Media Round Up

It's that time again: Time for me to give you my reviews of all the TV shows and movies I've seen lately, in my continuing effort to help you make informed choice with your hard-earned entertainment dollars (and time). I suffer so you don't have to, people. That's what it's all about. First up: TV: […]

BREAKING NEWS

Meg on Today! Be sure to check out my appearance on the Today Show tomorrow morning, Friday, August 4, between 7AM-9AM (unless I get bumped for the war. Or Castro. Or another tropical storm). Today Show regular Dr. Ruth Peters and I will be discussing issues involving popularity. I'm told that I'll be talking specifically […]

Spinning Beach Ball of Death

I always know summer is truly here when the Spinning Beach Ball of Death puts in an appearance. In case you don't know, the Spinning Beach Ball of Death is not a pool toy. It is an icon Mac users recognize as the universal symbol for Your Computer Now Hates You. For some reason, my […]

Book Vs. Movie

And the results are in…. It was a landslide victory for…drumroll…Legs in Trash! Rest assured, I forwarded the results to my editor. I can't promise that's the cover that will end up being used…but it's looking good so far! Many thanks to everyone who wrote in. So…. It appears that a great many of you […]

Posting from the QUEEN OF BABBLE tour

I am writing this from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Gate F-14. Remember that scene in 24 when Chole was in the hotel bar trying to upload the data to Jack's PDA, and that dude kept bugging her, and she finally had to hit him with her stun gun? Yeah. I really wish I had […]

MESSAGE FROM VOLCANO WATCH HEADQUARTERS

Status report: Well, after a few weeks of intensive back-to-back book writing, I have finally gotten a chance to lift my head from my laptop—just in time to go on book tour. I'll be leaving this week for Book Expo America–the annual convention for booksellers, publishers, educators, and librarians—in Washington DC, where I'll get to […]

24

I have a confession to make: Well, okay, yes, I did burst out laughing when I heard Brooke Shields had her baby at the same time as TomKat (and I sure hope Tom sent Brooke a nice conflict-free diamond tennis bracelet or something to make up for being such a jerk to her). But I […]

LETTER TO THE VIEW

To Whom It May Concern: Hello to the ladies at The View! I hear you are looking for a replacement for Meredith Viera, since she is leaving to replace Katie Couric, who is leaving the Today Show to read the CBS Evening News and be on Sixty Minutes (which is ironic, since I remember when […]

WIN PARTY PRINCESS!

Want to win a free copy of Party Princess? To celebrate the fact that The Princess Diaries series is #3 on this week's New York Times Children's Series bestseller list (behind Magic Tree House and Harry Potter), I'll be giving away 10 “Party Princess Packs” to 10 lucky winners. What's a Party Princess Pack, you […]

Celebrity Quote of the Week

Celebrity quote of the week: “So, Scientology, you have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for Earth has just begun. Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans* forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will […]

Princess Diaries Lowdown

Princess Diaries 7 is on sale already! Well, okay, ALL my YAs at Barnes and Noble.com are part of the “biggest kids book sale ever” in the Teen Section, including Princess Diaries 7, Party Princess. Which doesn't mean you can get PARTY PRINCESS before March 28. But it will arrive on your doorstep on March […]

SUBSCRIBE AND SAVE!

REAL WORLD KEY WEST, and oh yeah, SAVING WOMEN'S LIVES (not necessarily in that order): So if you haven't done so already, go out and get the April issue of MARIE CLAIRE magazine, the one with Drew Barrymore on the cover. It looks like this: Go buy it now! Don't worry, I'll wait for you […]

AMERICAN IDOL SCAM!!!!

* I've been telling you all for weeks that AMERICAN IDOL is guilty of something. Well, now, I have definitive proof. But before we get to that, the latest news: I was almost lifted from the suck zone by last night's Extreme Home Makeover. How could I feel badly for myself when that poor single […]

The Suck Zone

Remember in the disaster flick TWISTER when that guy, Dusty, describes the suck zone to Jami Gertz? Well, you are now entering it. Welcome to the Suck Zone. I'm just kidding. Things don't really suck THAT much. Well, sort of. But not like F5 on the Fujita scale. Maybe more like F2. Don't get me […]

CATCHING UP

Good Lord, so much has been happening, I don't know how we'll ever catch up. I guess we should just start at the beginning: First off, a moment of silence please for Chris Penn, of FOOTLOOSE fame. As you know, he died. He was brothers with Sean and Michael Penn. Michael is married to Aimee […]

YOU’VE BEEN WARNED

The reviews are in for my art show: My mom: “I laughed so hard, I peed my pants.” My aunt: “I was never aware until now what an integral part saliva played in the creative process.” My brother: “You got SKILLS, just like Napoleon Dynamite.” Thank you to everyone who wrote to say they enjoyed […]

WHAT I WATCHED ON MY CHRISTMAS VACATION

Although technically I didn't really have a vacation–because I was busy writing SIZE 12 IS NOT FAT 2, also known as PHAT CHICK (and, no, sorry, I can't tell you whether or not Cooper and Heather get together in it)–I did get in some excellent (and not so excellent) movie/television viewing over the holidays. You […]

CARE AND FEEDING OF YOUR AUTHOR

It's the holidays again, which means a lot of authors are visiting with family members right now, many of whom may, while trying to be helpful, say the wrong thing, and hurt the author's feelings. So I think this is the perfect time for a refresher course in the Care and Feeding of Your Author. […]

SERIOUSLY THE LAST UPDATE UNTIL I FINISH CHAPTER 5

But how good was the Chrismukkah Bar Mitz-vahkkah episode of THE OC last night? Just when I start to feel like bailing on that show, they pull out all the stops, and I'm hooked all over again. I mean, Michael Nouri as Summer's dad? We get to see what Jennifer Beals's love interest from FLASHDANCE […]

DON’T EAT ME

My friend Beth just called to say she's going to see KING KONG tonight, and I was like, “What is wrong with you? Why would you go see that? Don't you know what happens at the end?” Because Beth is my animal-lover friend, the one who was with me when I adopted Henrietta—the one who […]

OBNOXIOUS AUNTIE TIME

Hello. I am back from my grandfather's funeral. Thank you very much for all of your condolences and well-wishes. Gramps will be missed, but he had a pretty great life, and it was nice to see so many friends and family, in spite of the sad reason we were all there. The best part was […]

THANKSGIVING

So if you live in the US you are probably preparing for Thanksgiving right now, which is a national holiday here on Thursday, where everybody gets together for the sole purpose of consuming a GIGANTIC MEAL (oh…and giving thanks). Then we all sit around in a daze watching football and/or Christmas movies, until the stores […]

CATEGORY 7 RECAP CONTEST

Well, people, it was VERY difficult to select a winner in this contest, because there were so many entries, and many of them were so very, very good. But in the end I had to go with the entry written by a young lady who has clearly watched way more television than I have—a feat […]

GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS

Okay, so I have good news and bad news. The bad news is, it looks like I will not be home from the bar mitzvah I have to go to in time to watch the conclusion of the television event of the year, CATEGORY SEVEN, and Internet and cable service has still not been restored […]

CATEGORY SEVEN

Okay, I just found out Shannen Doherty is in this made-for-TV disaster movie, supposedly a sequel to last year's CATEGORY SIX which I apparently saw but I don't remember. Who cares? I can't dwell in the past. With Shannen Doherty in it, HOW CAN IT BE BAD???? DONNA MARTIN GRADUATES!!!! That is why I feel […]

It’s Halloween—so Happy Holidays!

Happy Halloween! I hope you are all getting more treats than tricks. I had a fantastic Halloween weekend, thanks to VAMPIRE BATS, the made for TV disaster movie about–well, vampire bats—starring Lucy Lawless. Awesome stuff. Except that while I was watching, I saw an ad for made-for-TV disaster movie that could be even better, and […]

Meg Watches The VMAs

VMAs:Diddy? DIDDY is hosting the VMAs? Please shoot me now. What, precisely, is Diddy famous for, besides dating J Lo, making ugly clothes, and being a savvy business man? Oh, and carrying that gun (ALLEGEDLY)? Why didn't they ask Kathy Griffin to host it? SHE has never gotten in trouble for gun play. I have […]

PRIME DIRECTIVE

First and foremost, thanks to everyone out there who bought a copy of READY OR NOT, and made it the #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING CHILDREN'S CHAPTER BOOK of the week!!!!! This is very, very cool. YAY! (Don't worry, Harry Potter 6 is still #1, over on the Children's Series list. READY OR NOT isn't […]

Tiara Time

Many, many thanks to the hostesses (and attendees, some of whom came from as far away as Nashville and Vincennes!) of the second annual celebration of Meg Cabot Day in Bloomington, IN. Although I could not be there, I heard the party was a huge success, and raised tons of money for Girls, Inc. Books […]

Media Round Up

I'm back from my whirlwind weekend in Ohio, where we attended a college friend's wedding. It was a nice break from the grim reality of the fact that I have about a million projects that were due, um, yesterday, some of which I still haven't started yet. And also that hurricane season is upon us […]

A Play, in One Act

Scene: 7AM in a house somewhere in Southern Florida Players:HusbandWife12 pound cat Husband: Honey. Get up. The packers are here to pack up all our stuff and then the movers are coming to move us. Wife: *#$%& the packers. Husband: Honey, I know you're not a morning person and that if you don't have at […]

My Television Character Doppelganger

So, as you probably are aware, each and every one of us has a television character doppelganger (meaning a spiritual or ghostly double or counterpart; esp., an apparitional double of a living person; a cowalker), a character on TV who is almost or exactly like us, to the point that you almost suspect the writers […]

New York, New York

I don't even know where to start, so much has happened since I last blogged. But here goes: –NEW ADDITION TO THE CABOT FAMILY– To begin with, and most importantly, I'm a new aunt again! My brother and his wife gave my not-yet two year old niece Maddie a baby sister on May 18. My […]

May the Braid Be With You

As many of you know, writers are notorious for one thing. No, not heavy drinking (well, actually, that too). But what I meant was not writing. Yes, it's true. Writers will go to almost any length to avoid actually writing. I have mentioned this before. And although some of you wrote the last time I […]

L.A.M.B., or Not Without My Sausage

Happy (belated) Mother's Day. I spent my Mother's Day doing what I do on just about every Sunday—watching made-for-TV movies. There were some particularly dishy ones on yesterday, due to it being Mother's Day, and all. There was a fabulous one my friend Jen called to alert me to, starring my favorite made-for-TV movie actress […]

Love, B

Hey, ya'll. It's me, Brit. Meg's feeling under the weather, so she asked me to fill in on her blog. Since I've got nothing to do these days but gestate (oh, and star with the hubby in our own reality show), I was like, “Sure, why not?” Oh, you didn't know me and Meg were […]

Princess Diaries 6 Tour Days 5-6

Wow, do I love New Mexico. I mean, it's true right now I'm covered with this weird dirt that was blowing around in the wind out by the pool…and everything I brought with me to the pool is also covered in it, including my iPod and can of smoked almonds. Oh, and my eyes are […]

Princess Diaries 6 Tour Day 1-2

So who watched 14 HOURS last night, the made for TV movie on TNT based on the true story of how Tropical Storm Allison flooded this Houston hospital and they had to evacuate 539 patients, many of them in critical condition, in like 3 hours? And how many of you wept when at the last […]

Tcha

So Princess Diaries Volume 5, Princess in Pink, is out in paperback today, along with Princess Diaries Volume 6, Princess in Training, in hardback, and everyone wants to know: What does TCHA mean? The answer is: Tcha means Yes, as in “tcha = Yeah. Popularized by Mike Myers in the “Wayne's World” movies. Example: Q: […]

SPRING BREAK SHARK ATTACK

It is Spring Break here in the Keys. What does that mean to me? Long lines at Diner Shores, my favorite breakfast spot, for one thing. Also girls who walk in groups of six side-by-side across the bike path—MY bike path—to the beach, and no matter how many times I ring my bell or yell […]

STUFF, MOSTLY ABOUT TV

LIVE CHAT TONIGHT!!!Hey, there's a live chat on my new book, EVERY BOY'S GOT ONE, at the Meg Cabot Book Club tonight at 7PM Eastern Standard Time. Hope to see you there! Okay, so I have been reading some other authors' blogs, and apparently, other authors write about BOOKS in their blogs, not TV. Who […]

Their Super Sweet Second Marriage

Okay, so remember how I said it was wrong for those kids on My Super Sweet Sixteen– the MTV documentary show about kids' real life over-the-top sweet sixteen birthday parties–to have such huge blow-out parties, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, even though they're all like, “But I deserve it”? Well, it's still wrong. But […]

Media Round Up

OK, so my TiVo erased everything I taped while I was on tour because I set it at FINE quality recording instead of HIGH and there were only 21 hours of memory left and it all got eaten up by the BBC America show, HOUSE DOCTOR, which is on like 5 times a day. So […]

DOLPHINQUEST 2005

Wow. Thanks so much for the hundreds of birthday messages and greetings. I don't know how I will ever get through them all, there are so many, but I will certainly try. It's very reassuring to know that there are so many people out there whose moms are older than I am. Thank you. I […]

Unbirthday

So tomorrow is my birthday, but let's not make a big deal out of it, okay? Because I am going to be 38. And that is just wrong. I'm sorry to any 38 year olds out there that I might be offending with this. But to me, 38 seems old. 37 isn't old. 37 is […]

Things I’ve Been Obsessing About Lately

1) Geoff Ritchie. Who is Geoff Ritchie, you ask? Don't tell me you haven't heard of him! He's the guy with the huge portwine birthmark who they featured on three, count them, THREE episodes of “Extreme Surgery,” one of my favorite shows, since of course, I WANTED to be a doctor (okay, a vet) but […]

POX!

Well, once again I am ringing in the New Year in a delicate state of health. Apparently it was not enough that I had to begin 2004 with lyme disease, and end it with a badly bruised/broken coccyx bone. No, now I have the pox. Okay, it isn't really THE pox, like the one everyone […]

Travels with Meg’s Coccyx Bone

So I have sustained a writing-related injury, and it's not carpals tunnel syndrome. There's really no other way to say this, so I guess I'll just come out with it: In my glee over finishing writing the first draft of Princess Diaries 7, I threw myself backwards into a big armchair, and instead of landing […]

Meg reviews Category 6: Day of Destruction, Part Two

I know you have all been dying to know what happens in Part 2 of the made-for-TV disaster movie, “Category 6: Day of Destruction,” which concluded last night. Well, never fear, I am here with an update. Get ready, a LOT happened: OK, so here is where we left off when my cable went out […]

Meg Reviews Category 6: Day of Destruction, Part One

I'm so psyched. I LOVE made-for-TV disaster movies. And this one looks like it might be even worse than “10.5”, the worst disaster movie since…ever. Okay, it starts in Vegas. Um, what is Dianne Wiest doing in a made-for-TV disaster movie? Nancy McKeon aka Jo from “Facts of Life” I can understand, but isn't Diane […]

Now For The Good News

Half of the people reading this are probably feeling pretty happy right now. But half of the people reading this are not. I don't want ANYONE to feel down. Here is some good news: –My friend Sophia Travis won the race in her district (Monroe County, Indiana) for County Councilwoman! It's great to know that […]

Off to England

Well, goodbye, I am leaving for my UK tour now, I will be gone until mid-October. I will try to blog while I am there, but I don't really know if I will have access to Internet service while I'm there, or that if I do, I will be able to figure out how to […]

Meg’s Review of the VMAs

OK, so I'm all set to watch the VMAs. I have to watch them so I will know what people are talking about tomorrow. Also so I can stay in touch with my readers. Also, because I want to see what stupid outfits my favorite performers will be wearing. So, OK, I have my Fresca […]

Traumatized By Regis

So I was watching Regis and Kelly the other day because Julie Andrews was going to be on it. Also because it was right before Hurricane Charley and we were checking the weather. I had watched Anne Hathaway on Regis and Kelly the day before when we'd been checking the weather (the rule in our […]

SUMMER REVIEWS

Summer is a good time to catch up on your TBR (to be read) list, and also to go to the movies, since everything (except on Fox—and maybe the WB and the N) is a rerun. So I thought I would tell you what I've been reading and watching, and maybe, if you're bored, you […]

BIKE

As excitement builds for the Tour de France (will Lance Armstrong win for a 6th time? Does he use steroids? Will his girlfriend Sheryl Crow eat French bread while she's there cheering him on, and if so, will she lose those flat abs?) I thought it would be appropriate to mention that I myself come […]

TRIP TO KEY WEST

Okay, I know I promised the Crush Quiz and advice blog next, but I've been moving, so it's been tough to work on that. I AM finishing it up though. I had a HUGE response to the Mediator 6 back cover copy. Everyone wants to kill me now. That's okay, I can take it. Bring […]

SWEEPS/CAT ADVICE

Oh my God, things here are so crazy. I'm trying to do the advice blog AND get the Secret Plan ready for launch this month AND we're trying to get ready to move to our new house in Florida (well, we're not really moving, since we're keeping our apartment in New York, but we have […]

CANADA, JOKES, ELLA/HELLBOY, and THE SECRET PLAN

Helloooo! I know it's been a while since I posted. I do have an excuse though: I've been laid low by jet lag. I HATE that. Although I discovered the secret to avoiding jet lag while you're away: no caffeine. Which helps for getting to sleep at night, but isn't so helpful for waking up […]

PRINCESS IN PINK TOUR: Days 10-11-12

ER IS TRYING TO KILL ME Really. I want to know if you guys feel the same way I do about the show ER. Because last night I staggered back to my hotel after my book signing and collapsed into bed and ER was on and it wasn't one I'd seen before and since that […]

PRINCESS IN PINK TOUR: Day 4-5

So you'll never guess where I am right now. Go ahead, guess. OK, I'll tell you: THE OC!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!! JUST LIKE ON THE TV SHOW (which I missed last night because I had two back-to-back book signings so don't tell me what happened, I'll watch it on TiVo when I get home April 12). Actually, […]

THINK PINK

Help! I've fallen behind, and I can't catch up. I'm TRYING, but it's so HARD. Do you know what I mean? Maybe some of you feel the same way. Is it that time of year, or something? Residual lyme disease? Sun spots? Who knows. I am WAY behind on my book that's due, um, next […]

AND THE COPIES OF PRINCESS IN PINK GO TO:

The response to the Island Contest was overwhelming! And the vast majority of you were right…In the future, I will be dividing my time between Manhattan and Key West! In case you're interested, some of the other islands people suggested I might be moving to include: Long Island (17)Rhode Island (22)Captiva Island (4)Big Pine Key […]

Valentine’s Day Shocker!

So I was innocently watching Extreme Makeovers tonight (why is this show so good? I KNOW it's wrong to like it so much, and yet….) when this ad for The Princess Diaries came on ABC. Get this: They are showing it for the first time ever on non-cable TV on VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!!!! Even more alarming: […]

ELLA ENCHANTED

Someone just told me they saw a trailer for Princess Diaries 2 at the movies this weekend, so I hurried over to Apple.com to look for myself (you can see all sorts of trailers there) and I saw that the movie they were talking about wasn't Princess Diaries 2, but Ella Enchanted, which is also […]

To Do/Birthday Wishes List

Hi. I'm home from my book tour. I have a two foot pile of mail and 1,398 unread emails. I hate when that happens. Because I really do try to keep up with my correspondence. But it's hard to find the time when you're on the road. Because you're so busy rushing around at seven […]

Holidaze

So, it's the holidays. I don't know. I kind of like them. My husband and I don't really do anything to celebrate them, except eat a lot. Like we don't do Hannukah or a Christmas tree. Also, I hate New Years, because you can never get a cab home, and it's usually like 10 degrees […]

Stuff

Hey! Hope you guys are digging out from this past weekend's blizzard, and keeping away from the flu bug that's going around. I also hope you're enjoying the new sample chapter we put onto the Princess Diaries page for Princess in Pink. More updates to megcabot-staging.htnwbil5-liquidwebsites.com will be coming soon! Don't forget to check out […]

Buongiorno (or buona sera, if you’re reading this at night)

That's good day or good evening in Italian. I just got back from Marches, this region of Italy no one has ever heard of. When the customs guy at the airport in Rome asked me where I was going, and I said Marches, he made a face! He said no one goes there. Well, if […]
