Answers to questions about my appearance at the Author! Author! Book Festival on Saturday:
1. What the heck is Barry-oke?
Barry-oke is this, this, this and this. I ask audience members to write their names and requests for Barry Manilow songs on slips of paper, which are then placed in The Official Barry-oke Bag (left).

Book Festival hosted by Chicklet Books at the Princeton Shopping Center in Princeton, NJ on Saturday, September 19th. Logistical complications may make Barry-oke an impossiblity. However, I will surroun

"Even though Perfect Fifths is the fifth book in the Jessica Darling series, author Megan McCafferty captures first-time readers and Jessica Darling veterans from Page One. In this book, readers get a chance to know Marcus Flutie intimately as sections of the book are written from his unique perspective.
