I’m on vacation. Which means I hike for miles and miles every day, sometimes go out backpacking for days at a time, and then, like yesterday, come back into civilization to take a long, hot shower and find some great coffee. Not that any coffee I can drink in the tent while wrapped [...]
A lot of us pretend we don’t self-Google, but honestly, if I didn’t, I never would have found this:
It makes me smile so large to see stuff like this. I appreciate the girls’ creativity–what a great job they did! And of course I appreciate that they decided to do their video book report [...]
Wow, you never know what you’re going to find out about an author–especially one you admire as much as I do Meg Cabot. Those of you who have followed this blog long enough know that I’m a huge fan of both her books and her blog.
And now, in one of those strange loop-de-loops, I [...]
Lately a lot of people have been asking me for recipes from FAT CAT. Some of the recipes in the book are ones I made up and experimented with, some are from other sources, including chef and cookbook author Colleen Patrick-Goudreau of www.compassionatecooks.com. I loved Colleen’s work so much, I asked her to do the [...]
Can I just tell you that as an author, sometimes the publishing process takes SO LONG, you can’t believe it when a book has actually made it out and on to the shelves?

I’m [...]
A few months ago our blog pal Lady T generously offered to do something that’s proven very difficult for me over the years: Judging my own contests. See, I want every single person to win, and that’s no good when I only have five of something to give away. So Lady T, [...]
Look what I found last night! An audio clip from FAT CAT!
(Can I just say how absolutely weird it is to hear someone else read the book that’s been in your head all this time? The actress, Kirsten Potter, does such a great job! But it’s still weird, weird, weird.)
(Anyway.)
This [...]
I’ve written posts before on how much I hate book snobs–especially when it comes to children’s and teens’ reading choices. Reading is reading. I don’t care if it’s comic books, the newspaper, science fiction, romance novels, chemistry textbooks, sports magazines–whatever. If someone loves to read anything, then that’s the beginning of a [...]
