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! Then the plot of Glee actually moved forward! I think I’m s...
Busted! I was kind of trying to keep a low profile about my adult Summer 2010 release because a) I’m still tweaking it (it’s kind of hard to finish a book when your husband breaks his ankle!), ...

So I didn’t see any movies at all this weekend—except Rachel Getting Married, but that was on Starz or HBO or something, and it’s been out forever, so that doesn’t count. I have to say, if Kim (Anne ...
NEW MOON!!! AHHHH!!!! Ha, no, I didn’t go to New Moon last night at 12:01. I was doing what I’m always doing lately at 12:01AM: waiting for my Ambien to kick in and going, “Why don’t they have Say Ye...
I went to see 2012 over the weekend. As a disaster movie junkie—seriously, I LOVE a movie in which human beings are (pretend) killed by any sort of natural disaster, be it: –Asteroids hurtling ...
I’m back from the Miami Book Festival. Did you miss me? I missed you. Except for those of you I saw at the fair. Which was AWESOME, by the way. I got to meet so many fantastic readers (as well as aut...
I’m leaving now for Miami for my event tomorrow, and I’m so excited because I get to stay in a fancy hotel in South Beach instead of my house (which still smells like a rotting mouse corpse. How can ...

I finally saw the movie of The Watchmen! I’d tried to read the graphic novel, but somehow I could never finish it. I have no idea why. The book has everything…sex, naked people, romance, sex, mystery...
It’s November…. And you know what that means! No, not pumpkin pie! (Although it means that, too!) It means, among other things…. The Glee cast album is out! Finally! I thought I was going...
This is truly a creepy Halloween. Just in time for the spookiest night of the year, a rodent (I pray that it is a rodent and not a larger mammal, such as a human being) crawled into a wall of our hou...
It’s Fantasy Fest Week here in Key West! You think things get crazy in your town for Halloween? Where I live for the week leading up to Halloween, people come from all over the world to party, elect ...

Guess what I just got? A big box of the new Allie Finkle adventure, Glitter Girls and the Great Fake Out! I know! I was like, didn’t Allie’s Rules for Girls, Stage Fright, just come out? How can the ...
Today I made a startling discovery. I was putting on my eye makeup and listening to the 80s channel on XM radio (as I do every morning) when they played George Harrison’s I Got My Mind Set On You. Th...
Warning: SPOILERS So we’ve been trying to relax by catching up on the recordings on our DVRs. He Who Shall Not Be Named On This Blog doesn’t want me to tell you this, but in addition to long document...

I just got home from Birmingham, Alabama, where I got to speak at a luncheon in front of a BIG audience of Books-A-Million sales managers and buyers (hi, guys)! A lot of people think being a writer i...
Don’t I know you from somewhere? I knew the cover for the new book in the YA series by Robert B. Parker looked a little familiar. I just couldn’t figure out where I’d seen it before...
Since getting home from Brazil I’ve been really tired, as you can probably imagine. Who wouldn’t be after all those crazy but fun signings; the party bus; the monkeys… …then coming home to get ...
