One week from today, FLY AWAY HOME hits the stores, and I hit the road! You can find all my tour dates here. Yes, Virginia, there will be cupcakes.
On Thursday, I'll be doing a live chat from 3 to 5 at Barnes & Nobles' Facebook page. Stop by and ask me anything!
Finally, if you're in need of a beach book right now, Susan Isaacs' mordant and witty AS HUSBANDS GO is out today. Enjoy, and I hope to hear from you Thursday!

Happy almost-Fourth-of-July!
Maybe you'd like to celebrate by watching me on the Rachael Ray show! My segment airs tomorrow.
I talked about the inspiration behind the book over at Elle.com, and there's a lovely review over on Bookpleasures.com.
You know, of course, that you can find the first chapter here...or find out where you can catch me on my two-week cross-country tour here (just added -- a reading at Vroman's in Pasadena on August 2!)

I don't know if I can adequately express my thanks for everyone who sent their stories, snappy comebacks and words of wisdom about flying the (un)friendly skies with little kids.
I think the worst part of my experience was feeling completely isolated -- like I was not just the only one on the plane whose kid was being disruptive (for a whopping 10 minutes!) but that I was the only one in the world whose child had ever upset other passengers on a plate with her noise, actions, or bodily functio...

With just over three weeks until the release of FLY AWAY HOME, I know that I'm supposed to be in full-on pimp mode. I should be posting sassy pictures and sexy excerpts, or hosting fun-filled giveaways, or telling you all about the upcoming book tour.
But yesterday I had one of the worst travel experiences of my life yesterday -- a true and total bummer -- so I think that, instead, I'll tell you about that.

I'm in Los Angeles, hanging with my brothers, my sister, my niece and nephew, my agent and my mother and her special lady friend, and counting the days until the July 13 release of FLY AWAY HOME.
You can read the first chapter on the home page of my website...and if you need a little more Weiner to tide you over until July, pick up the current issue of Redbook. I wrote a two-part short story about an imploding marriage, a canceled business trip, and anonymous hotel sex (among other things). It...

Just six weeks until FLY AWAY HOME hits the shelves!
I hope to have the first chapter posted this week, along with a little bit about how the book came into being. Meanwhile, you can read about it in USA Today...and, today only, you've got another shot to win an advanced reader's copy!
Julie Buxbaum's AFTER YOU is out in paperback today. A bit about the book: After Ellie Lerner's best friend Lucy is murdered -- in front of her eight-year-old daughter -- Ellie drops everything, leaving behind he...

One of the all-time, hands-down pleasures of being a published author is being able to take my friends and family along for the ride. Whenever I get to go on book tour, give a reading, tape a talk show or walk a red carpet, I try to have as many relatives as possible around me. It keeps me calm and keeps them amused.
So last week, when I went to New York City to tape "The Rachael Ray Show," (it'll air in July), I invited my mother Fran to tag along.
On Tuesday afternoon, we pulled into the gar...

When I sold my first book – lo these many, many years ago – I had, as every writer does, a number of hopes and dreams and secret fantasies.
Maybe it'll be a best seller!
Maybe it'll win a prize!
And maybe – just maybe – I'll get to sing backup with the Rock Bottom Remainders.
The Remainders are the world's most prominent, and only, all-author supergroup, who've been rocking out at bookseller conventions and concert halls since the early 1990's. The band stars Dave Barry, Mitch Albom, Stephen King...
