Lucy B. is here...

So the first book in my new series YOURS TRULY, LUCY B. PARKER is now in stores (and of course I had to go and CHECK because I never believe that it's actually going to happen)...so you can go to the store and get it, using it as an excuse to buy a bunch of other books; and maybe some magazines; and maybe a new Moleskine notebook (which is what I do at the bookstore...) or you can click here

There was a really nice mention on one of the CafeMom blogs about it here where they refer to it as "it...

How to Avoid Writing

I think at last count I had about 7,242 ways to accomplish this, but today the number went up to 7,243.

Ready?

Hipstamatic.

It's this incredibly cool app you can download for your iPhone that makes it so you can take lomo-like photos. (lomo=short for lomography which you can read about here

So fun. So easy. So much of a time waster!

Oh, and BTW? That black blob in the top right hand corner in the photo of my feet? That's a cat.

I'm alive....

...Let me rephrase that--I'm coming back to life, like the trees that are finally blooming up and down the streets of Manhattan, after a very long winter, and a pretty horrible March.

I took the photo, but then Carlo (you can click on his website from the link over on the right) used Photoshop to make it look all beautiful and dream-like, which I love.

Thank you, Jenna

Fun news

I feel like one of those pregnant women who waits until she's three months along before officially announcing it..except in my case I'm having two more book babies....

I'm super excited to announce that not only will I be doing another fairy tale retelling as part of the Castle Heights "companionship" -- this one based on Snow White -- but also that I'll be writing one called ALICE À PARIS, loosely based on Alice In Wonderland, about an American girl abroad in Paris.

And you know what that mea...
