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 […]

A Contest for Writing Moms
One of my good friends, Christine Fugate, an independent filmmaker, writer and very busy mom is hosting the 2nd Annual Mothering Heights Mother’s Day Essay Contest which ties in to her blog, Mothering Heights. I have so many writer friends that visit my blog I promised Christine to help spread the word about her contest. […]
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 […]
Short & Promotional
I just wrapped up a radio interview and my media escort is arriving in ten minutes to take me around Seattle for stock signings (aren’t I a diva??) before dropping me back at the house to meet boys bus and then it’s a five thirty book club call in before I whip up dinner. That’s […]
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 […]
Walking The Walk
The kids don’t want me to leave today. I don’t want to leave today. Worse, I’m not sure I’m handling being on the road all that well anymore. Friday in Portland at the Women’s Show I was nearly mute at the microphone. I was up there on stage, my notes in front of me, looking […]
Update From Fresno
I’m halfway through the California book tour with five events behind me and two events, one party and several days of media stuff and stock signings to go. All the events have been valuable and each is a bit different. My favorite part of the three days in LA was being able to see my […]
Shameless
Shameless self-promotion, that’s what this blog is all about. I think I’ve asked for reader reviews and support before, but I’ve never come out and said, “please, sir, may I have some more?” (from the musical Oliver Twist, a childhood favorite) but I’m asking now. I’m asking those of you who write me and tell […]
O Mom
Those of you who read my blog know I write about being a mom, a lot, so when I was invited to join the blogging moms over at Working Mother.com I jumped at the chance. My new Working Mother blog is called O Mom, because let’s face it, that’s all my kids seems to say, […]
