Fall Book Tour!

I can’t believe how fast the summer went by! I went to the beach one time, and then it was over. Now it’s Fall, and I have not one but TWO books coming out (first my adult book, No Judgments, and then in November my middle grade graphic novel with DC Comics, Black Canary Ignite). Then I have another book due–the next installment of the Little Bridge series after No Judgments (cover and title a secret for now)! So I’m not busy AT ALL or doing any stress eating or staying up way too late wa...

9/11

This year is the eighteenth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and United Airlines Flight 93.

Every year in remembrance I post this essay about my experience living in Manhattan a few dozen blocks from the World Trade Center on 9/11.  I think it’s important that we don’t allow the memories of those we lost (or the brave acts that so many men and women performed) on that day be forgotten.

So if you have a few extra minutes in your day, please read on. And if you t...

Summer in Gotham City!

Happy Summer! I hope you’re all having a great time. I’ve been in New York City since May and it’s been a blast. I got to meet some GREAT people at BEA, ALA, and ABA. I hope I didn’t infect any of them with the cold I picked up at BEA that is only just now going away.

Fortunately, I brought Allie Cat along and she has been a source of great comfort even though she clearly wants to go back to Florida where it is 100+ degrees, the preferred temperature for old cats.

I’m here for a few more wee...

BEA, Book Con, Bridal Boot Camp, And Royal Baby!

So much is going on that I don’t even know where to begin: New royal baby (in no way affects my life but: HOW CUTE)! New books! Book Cons! I guess I’ll just dive in….

So obviously we all know there’s a new royal baby, Prince Harry and Meghan’s son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. YAY for good news for a change!

OMG HOW CUTE

Next, I have new books coming out!

OMG HOW CUTE

The first debuts on May 24! Bridal Boot Camp is only a novella, and only available as a 99 cent e-book, but IMHO it’s...

Princess Diaries Rumor Control

So some rumors have been going around about a possible Third Unauthorized Bio Pic of Princess Mia’s Life (aka third Princess Diaries movie). “Is this really happening?” people like the Dowager Princess of Genovia keep asking me. As Princess Mia’s royal biographer, all I’m permitted to say is that a script has been written, the cast seems willing, and so does Disney and Debra Martin Chase, the same producer who spear-headed the first two films. But so many factors need to come togethe...

New Year, New Books

Happy New Year! I hope you got to spend some time during the holidays curled up with a book. I know I did…I was finishing two that will be out in 2019!

That’s right! I have a new full length novel coming out later this year (as well as Black Canary: Ignite, of course), and a cute little novella – both for adult readers. The stories are about completely different characters, but both take place in Little Bridge Island, Florida — a fictional town that’s SLIGHTLY based on the island on which I c...

Happy Holidays!

It’s that time of year again! If you’re thinking “the holidays,” you’re almost right . . . .

Throw in “deadlines” and you get 100%!

I’m busy finishing up the manuscripts for books I have coming out next year (more on those below) but ALSO finishing (okay, starting) my holiday shopping. How about you? Have you, like me, not even started your holiday shopping yet?

If so, allow me to help. Here’s a super easy and practically FREE gift idea for the book lovers in your life:

What I Did For My Summer Vacation

Hi! When you’re an adult you don’t really get summer vacation, or at least you don’t when you’re a writer, because you usually have a book due, as I did this summer . . . a book that I still haven’t quite finished. But it’s ALMOST done!

With luck, it will be out August 2019 . . . which I realize is before Black Canary: Ignite, my middle grade graphic novel, which will be out in October 2019.

I do have a title–and even a cover–for this new book, which is an adult contemporary, but I’m waiting...

New Look, New Book!

Hi! If this isn’t your first time visiting my site, you might be noticing it’s got a new look! I decided to update things a little, and Janey, my longtime friend and site admin, plus her team, have done an AMAZING job.

(No, I didn’t do this all myself. I don’t even know how to do my own nails. I’d never try to design my own website!)

One of the reasons I wanted to give the site an update is because I’m going to be trying some new things creatively in the next few months/years. You already kno...
