hot summer reads
What do I love most about summer? How the whole city slows down. Infusing water with cucumbers and strawberries and mint. Flip-flops, summer breeze, and long walks at night. And most of all, having a big stack of fresh books … Continue reading →

happy spring, happy mash, happy table
Yay, it's the Return of Spring! Early Summer was oppressing us with these hot, humid days everyone was over after like five minutes. People kept saying that we didn't have spring. I kept insisting that spring would be back. And now it is! I'm hoping spring will decide to stick around for its official three more weeks. Spring is my favorite season. I am very happy right now.
Well. I'd be happier if I could actually go out and enjoy the springtime that is happening beyond my apartment. ...

llevame alli
It's been hectic times around here, friendly neighbors. But hectic in a good way. I met with my editors last week about the next revision of book six. I am beyond excited about this new book. For those of you who've asked, yes, it has a title, but I can't share it yet. And yes, it will be out next year! It usually takes me about six weeks to do a revision. Not this time. This time I have, oh, 10 days. It's a 10 Day Deadline Challenge Throwdown and I'm determined to not let it squash ...

stupid signage
It all started with a vegetable.
My corner deli had a brand new awning made. It is green. It is huge. And it says something like this right across the front:
"Deli, groceries, beer, snacks, vegetable."
Dude. They have one vegetable.
Really? Just one?
As my friend Rachel Vail said, You better go in quick and snatch that vegetable up before someone else gets it!
Actually, this all started way before the vegetable. I've always been extremely annoyed by typos. Typos in books are bad. But typo...

blog tour roundup
In case you missed my blog tour, I wanted to give you a complete set of links. Each tour stop features one of the New York City places or things from So Much Closer. Several people have already said that the book felt like a love letter to NYC. I totally agree! Here are some of its best qualities...

top ten tour tidbits
That was a whirlwind! The official part of my book tour is over, I've caught up with all the post-tour mail/cleaning/unpacking stuff (which always takes longer than you think it will), and I finally have a chance to share some highlights from my tour with you. Instead of doing several posts, I've decided to go with one big Top Ten Tour Tidbits extravaganza. Not that it will be easy to only pick ten things. And not that my events are even over! I still have upcoming events in New York Cit...

new events!
Last night was my first night back at the gym after being away for the past two weeks on book tour. It was painfully obvious (and is still painfully obvious - hello, hamstrings!) that I am pathetically out of shape. How can this happen after only two weeks? It's ridiculous. To top it off, one of my fave instructors ever has left and now there's no sexy girl workouts anymore. I loved my Sexy Girl Wednesdays. Nancy's class had a combo dance/core/balance/stretch focus that I adored. Someo...
