I'm in my hometown of Austin, TX this weekend, doing a whirlwind opening tour for "The Lost Children." It's day 3 of my 4 day stay and it's been a real mind bender of an experience already.

Check out my name on the marquee above! I felt like a movie star.

Today at my BookPeople signing I saw my 5th grade teacher Mr. Pruneda, who I hadn't seen in (ahem) 27 years. Whoa. So amazing he came. I have... read more »

add to my books
This book captures a very specific feeling of being a teenage girl and for me a very specific time period in the late 80's/early 90's. Blake Nelson does an incredible job capturing the voice of his heroine and I was transported back to 15.
