How I Lost Grandpa and Other Vacation Stories

Did you miss me? I missed you!

I was on vacation in the mountains! (Thank you, Captain Obvious. We did notice Twitter was very quiet and relaxing, I mean, sad and lonely without you.)

So vacation. Those of you with kids know that vacations aren't quite relaxing on chaise-lounges with Mai Tai's in your hands soaking in the sunshine. It's more like convincing the two year old that she doesn't really miss her red and white potty and that three hours in the car is just as much fun as playing at the...

Yoga on a Surfboard & #sexahmagicbook update

So being an author while raising two small children, trying to be a good partner, once and a while doing the bills so your phone isn't shut off etc, is never easy. But throw in wanting to live a little in real life while doing so? Now you're talking crazy.

BUT.

This is a big but. I cannot cut out yoga without suffering.
In June and July I was too busy traveling and doing readings etc. to keep up with my yoga. And I know what you're thinking, yoga is a luxury. But exercise in some form shouldn'...

Entertainment Weekly has a great column each week: The Must List.

Highlighting things they love/recommend that week.
So this is mine and maybe a few of these things can be yours too.

1. INCEPTION. Okay. I know this is everyone's #1 this week. But there is a reason. It's flippin' mind-blowing. Not just because it...

1. INCEPTION. Okay. I know this is everyone's #1 this week. But there is a reason. It's flippin' mind-blowing. Not just because it stars this guy:

And marriage. And goo...

I had the honor of being in the live audience to witness this acceptance speech so-beautifully—and hilariously— presented by author Libba Bray.

Wow.

#ALA10: PART UN

Hi all! I want to post these before they lose their timeliness! It was a whirlwind four nights to say the least!
I arrived toward the end of ALA and met up with Jon Skovron (Struts and Frets) and our mutual friend Laurel for an evening on the Red Carpet at the Newbery's but that's...not quite the way things went. After getting caught in a freakish summer storm and getting lost for about an hour, (not with my friends, with my dad) we were too late for the Red Carpet so we ended up carving a del...
