Cherries in Winter is out now in paperback with added chapters and recipes.

I've written for O, the Oprah Magazine, Jane, Harper's Bazaar, Details, Rolling Stone, and tons of other magazines. I love magazines; I hope they don't go away.

I've also written three young adult novels based on the Smallville TV series, and a few children's books based on Batman.

I live in New Jersey with my husband, two cats, and an...more

Interesting. I admit I watched the AMC series first, and then found this. I wonder how I'd feel about the series if I'd read the graphic (and I do mean graphic--EEK!!) novel first? The series is fairly faithful to the GN, though with changes appropri...more

How Anna Quindlen could handle such potentially depressing subject matter (no, I'm not going to spoil it) and not make you want to turn away is a testament to her beautiful writing. I read this book in two days, and it's not short, nor am I a graduat...more
