I need some advice, especially from those of you who live in the Greater Seattle area and get the million postcards and invites to my different events. Here’s the question: Should I have a book release party after the Bellevue Barnes & Noble event for Mrs. Perfect? Or have I become excessively annoying? I feel […]

From The Bookshelf
I read a couple books while in Hawaii and I read them slowly. The first was Twilight by Stephanie Meyers, a NY Times bestseller for the young adult market, but a book so well written it had my friend Megan Crane raving about the series while I was in LA on my Odd Mom Out […]
Home Wrecker
First of all, the title home wrecker does not apply to my guest author over at my bulletin board this week. Jenny Gardnier is not a home wrecker. She’s a very respectable, very pretty and likable woman who writes incredibly funny books like her just released bestseller, Sleeping with Ward Cleaver, which is doing wonderful things over […]
More Words
Having finished The Thirteenth Tale I had to have another book. I’m in my book a day mode at the moment and it’s a bit selfish of me to just be reading like this, and yet it’s also so lovely. At the beach this afternoon I finished Water for Elephants and loved it. It reminded […]
World of Words
Since I’m not writing and the children are with their father in Arizona, I am reading. It is what I do when I am free. It is what I want to do even when I am not free. But when I write I do not let myself read very much as the desire to read […]
They Call Her Mrs. Perfect
I’ve just heard from my editor in New York and we have a winner, which translates into a new title. I’m very happy with the title selected and am delighted to introduce you to my May 2008 novel, Mrs. Perfect. And here is the back cover text from Mrs. Perfect: WHERE’S A FAIRY GODMOTHER WHEN YOU NEED ONE? For […]
Throw Me A Title, Please!
I got the bad news today. Alpha Mom, out in only 6 months, will no longer be called Alpha Mom due to someone apparently owning the title. It seems a clever woman has copyrighted the words (who would have thought?!?) and is threatening to sue me and my publisher if we don’t change the name […]
Good News Day
I’m jumping on a plane in just minutes but I’ve been told that Odd Mom Out has had a mini-review in today’s USA Today, so if you’re at the library or near a newspaper stand, check out today’s (Thursday’s) USA Today and see if you can find it. I’m going to look for the paper […]
NJ Tonight
On yesterday’s flight from Seattle to Newark I finished UK author Anna Pasternak’s new novel Daisy Dooley Does Divorce and I was sorry when the story ended. I’ve been reading the book on my tour this past week and have been trying to read very s-l-o-w-l-y to stretch the book out. Daisy Dooley Does Divorce […]
Heading to Portland
I’m at the Seattle airport waiting to catch my 11 am flight to Portland. I was supposed to be on the 9 am this morning but begged my publicist to change it so I could see my kids off to school. I’m at that point where I want to be mom more than author lady. […]
