Royal Wedding Central
We’re just a few days away from Meghan Markle’s wedding to Prince Harry, and if you’re anything like me, you’re looking forward to watching it. Don’t we deserve a little break from all the bad news we’ve gotten lately (erupting volcanoes, slow decline of democracy as we know it, etc)?
And although I’ve never actually been to a royal wedding, I’ve written about them numerous times:
I feel this qualifies me to post this quick little guide on Meghan and Harry’s wedding for those who feel they n...

DC Comics, Black Canary and Me!
I’ve been keeping a secret for months – which has been SO HARD! You know I love gossip and even more, I LOVE TALKING!
Well, now I can finally tell you all about it!
DC Comics, the home of Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman, will be creating two imprints for Young Readers! DC Ink will be for YA readers and DC Zoom will target middle-grade readers from 7-15 years old. I’ve been invited to author a graphic novel featuring the character Black Canary for DC Zoom (when I say invited, I mean I camp...

Top Five Fave Things
Hooray! If you’re reading this it means you made it through 2017 to 2018! Pat yourself on the back.
I’m hoping 2018 is going to be the best year ever. I know it probably won’t be. But we can hope, right?
With that in mind, I’m posting my list of Top Five Favorite Things of 2017.
I know most people do “Best Of” lists, but I’m not saying the stuff on my list is “the best.”
“Best Of” implies you experienced EVERYTHING 2017 had to offer, and I most definitely did not, because I’m too lazy. I ha...

Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays!
It’s that time of year again! I’ll be spending the holidays here in Key West with friends and family, experimenting with new recipes that I’ll try to share with you on Twitter/FB/ and Instagram (I can’t guarantee they’ll be any good, but they’ll be SUPEREASY)!
Speaking of supereasy, have you, like me, not even started your holiday shopping yet?
Then here’s a supereasy and practically FREE gift idea for the book lovers in your life:
Send a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE...

The Cone Life
Wow. From my book tour for Royal Crush to a hurricane to getting ready for NY Comic Con, where I’ll be participating in a panel on a certain Star Wars book that’s coming out next week, things have been cRaZy.
But things have finally settled down enough for me to update this blog (plus, I actually have Internet access for the first time in a while).
Thanks to all of you who were posting thoughts and prayers for me during Irma! I didn’t see any of them until a few days ago, since I didn’t hav...

September 11, 2001
This year is the sixteenth 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 we don’t allow the brave acts that so many men and women performed that day to be forgotten.
So if you have a few extra minutes in your day, please read on. And if you think what you read was important, pleas...

May the 4th Be With You
It’s true!
Meg Cabot is writing a “Star Wars” book, and we’re not freaking out about this enough
Well, I’m not writing a whole book.
But I was asked to submit a short story to an anthology celebrating Star Wars A New Hope‘s 40th anniversary –
40 stories celebrating 40 years of Star Wars!

I was so honored! Of course I said yes.
Some of you have probably seen the hashtag #OperationBlueMilk. Well, this is what it’s about! Check out this little video for more information (and/or read on):
I k...

Valentine’s Day: The Purge
Well, it’s that time of year again: VALENTINE’S DAY!
Every year I try to ignore this holiday, and every year I can’t because commercials start appearing, urging me to go to Jared’s (an American jewelry store for those of you who don’t live in this country) or buy a gigantic teddy bear (like John McLean in Die Hard)!
I’ve written in the past about how I think this holiday has gotten away from its original message (which I forget right now but I think it’s that we shouldn’t kill Roman soldier...

2016 – A happy ending
Well, I’m back from my book tour in France, where I had a GREAT time.
I met readers old and new, visited places I’ve never been before, celebrated the publication of a new book, and ate some FANTASTICfood.
Bookstore in Toulons!
Allie in Paris, a novella in French!
Meg in Paris, a photoabout cheesy mashed potatoes!
Meg on Rue Princesse, contemplating the vagaries of life
NowI’m back in Key West, far from the reach of the polar vortex, and everyone is celebrating the holiday season . . .
