Dara Cohen on Inside the Character's Studio!

Give it up for Dara Cohen, the star of Megan Frazer's Secrets of Truth & Beauty, on Inside the Character's Studio!

Secrets of Truth & Beauty -- When Dara Cohen was little, she was crowned Little Miss Maine. That was then. Now Dara's seventeen and she's not so little anymore. That's just one of her many problems. Another is that her control-freak mom won't get off her case about anything. Yet the one that hurts the most is the family secret: Dara has an older sister her parents tried to erase fro

Willy Willy Harry Stee....

As many of you know from reading my bio, when I was in college I learned a little rhyme that lists the Kings & Queens of England in order. Useless to some. Not at all useless to a romance novelist who might, at any moment, in the absence of Wikipedia, be required to call on such vast historical knowledge.

And so...today...I give you the poem that will impress your friends, send your enemies cowering in the corner, and quite possibly win you a friendly game of Trivial Pursuit.

Willy, Willy, Har

In which a hawk makes my week...

So, I had kind of a blah week. But the weekend is going to ROCK. How do I know this? Because no weekend that begins with this post at Gawker can't rock. It's cosmically impossible.

The lesson here?

Emo Hawk + Jerk Chicken = Greatest New York Moment of All Time.

Callie Montgomery on Inside the Character's Studio!

Ok...no surprise that I'm super excited to host Callie Montgomery, the star of Mandy Hubbard's Prada & Prejudice, on Inside the Character's Studio...for those of you who don't know about Prada...you should. Callie takes a nasty spill and wakes up in Regency London. And just so happens to meet a really really ridiculously goodlooking duke there. So, yes. This book tells the story of my biggest fantasy.

To impress the popular girls on a high school trip to London, klutzy Callie buys real Prada

Yay! The New York Post likes me!

Just a quick one today...as I'm in and out of the apartment...but I just had to share this!

At 10:45 this morning, my phone rings...it's a friend from work. Not exactly the phone call one expects to receive on Saturday morning. (I *expected* to receive a call from my sister, who seems to have gone AWOL and never answers her phone...but that's another story altogether)

The call goes something like this:

SARAH: Hello?
SARAH'S FRIEND: Ohmigod. You're in the NEW YORK POST!
SARAH: Wha?!
SARAH'S FRIEND:

Things That Are Awesome....Colleen Pencils

Some people like gadgets, others like first edition books...me? I'm a paper and pencil gal. And O. M. G. I want these. BAD.

Twelve years ago, the Colleen Pencil Company recognized that pencil slats could be made from any wood that the machinery could cut, and created a varied set as an artistic exploration....Twelve pencils are presented - each marked with the number in the series, the HB grade, the bilingual (English and Japanese) wood species and country/area of origin, and a most unusual n
