Happy Monday!

Hello, loves! I’m back after sorely neglecting you last week. Apologies! I’m finding that it takes a few days to get back into my groove after a trip, particularly a crazy whirlwind like my last one. I’ve missed you! Yesterday I was going through my FB feed and came across this awesome post by Neil […]

Thank you, La Mesa Barnes and Noble!

How cool are the people of Southern California? Pretty darn cool. Thank you so much for everyone who turned out for the standing-room-only crowd on Sunday. And Barnes and Noble, thank you so much for hosting!

Travelogue San Diego

Saturday, October 18 Today is packed with two events plus lots of driving in between. I love handling the details of travel – packing and hauling my bags (and learning to pack lighter and lighter), finding my way on unfamiliar highways. It makes me feel badass. The two events are awesome (I pilfer posters for […]

Provincial

When I travel, I realize I’m the worst kind of provincial: the provincial that thinks it is not. I want so much to be a seasoned traveler. And, by definition, I am. I travel a lot. But my travel is often an exercise in resisting other places. This occurred to me when checking into my […]

Travelogue LA

The flight to LA is bumpy. I write my name in my notebook in case the plane goes down, so that my kids will have the last words I wrote. Because, yeah, that’s me. A glass half empty kinda girl. Landing in LA feels weirdly familiar. It’s strange. I’ve only been here one other time […]

Weary

1:57 local time, 4:57 my time, exhausted but can’t sleep. I’m so turned around and so this is what’s on my mind: I had been so Zen about this whole thing. But tonight I am bone weary. A year and a half of aching and then suddenly here he is again. But blank here. Like-we-just-met […]

Fun continues in Oceanside, CA

Our second stop in one day made for some hectic SoCal freeway traffic (the 5 is my new best friend) but it was worth the trek when we got to Oceanside and got treated like queens by the wonderful staff at the Barnes and Noble there. The fun continues tomorrow so come out to La […]

Such fun in Orange, California

Wonderful panel at the Orange, CA Barnes and Noble! Great to meet all the young people there. If you didn’t get a chance to come out, there are still signed copies of all the panelists’ books for sale by the information desk. Bonus: I got to keep this awesome poster!

Great panel at LA Public Library

I was so honored to be part of the Teen Reads Week program at the LA Library along with these fabulous authors: Charlotte Huang, Stephanie Diaz, Ava Dellaria, Tracy Holczer, Annabel Monaghan and, of course, my Running Press publishing sib Bethany Crandell. Such fun, including the after-party! #writersgonewild

Thank you, Perry Author Festival

I had the privilege of being a part of the great Author Festival at Perry High School (which actually included high schools from all around the Cleveland area). There were panels and lots of opportunity to talk to the awesome students. It was such fun! Thank you to all the warm, wonderful people at Perry […]
