Death, the afterlife, and Just One Wish
Over the years since I wrote Just One Wish, I’ve received many emails about the ending. Some of them ask me what happens to Jeremy, Annika, and Steve. While I was answering this question in an email, I thought I’d…
Continue ReadingWhen I overheard this, it gave me shivers
All of you who didn’t go to the Goodyear book signing, really should have because there were many awesome people there. Celebrities pretend to be awesome people. People who come to signings are the real deal. So while there, an old friend…
Continue Readingweigh in on the cover . . .and the title, while you’re at it
So I ended up finishing the demon book instead of working on Slayers three. I know, I know, I wanted the third Slayers book too. More than you want it, I promise. But this book sort of wrote itself while the…
Continue ReadingWhy I shouldn’t write thrillers
Well, actually, I’m not sure I should classify (Still haven’t chosen a title for it, but right now the working title is: The Girl Who Heard Demons) as a thriller. But it is darker than my other books, and in…

In case you’re wondering why I haven’t written anything this week, here is a video of the world’s cutest ten-month-old and what happens when I say goodbye.
Continue ReadingSlayers three update
So, I’m supposed to be working on Slayers Three. And I will. Just as soon as I get off the internet. I don’t know why I’m having a hard time with it–but I partially blame it on my the-girl-who-hears-demons, no-I-don’t-have-a-real-title-for-it…

I should be working on Slayer 3 right now. I meant to be working on Slayers 3 right now. Look, here’s even a photographic proof that I went to DC to research places for scenes. I put this photo up…
Continue ReadingThe top ten reasons to love paper books
My middle daughter has gone off to college, and she took her ereader with her. As I had downloaded quite a few books on it, I had no choice but to buy my own ereader so I didn’t lose one…
Continue ReadingWhat Title Should the Third Fairy Godmother Book Have?
As I’m waiting for my beta readers to finish and to comment on the story, I’ve also been pondering the title. The first two books are My Fair Godmother, and My Unfair Godmother–titles which only makes sense if you’ve seen…
Continue ReadingDragon sightings in DC
My niece just sent me this photo. Clearly, the DC area is suffering from a dragon infestation, and it’s time for me to write the next Slayers. I’ll be in DC for a couple of days next month and will…
Continue ReadingGrammar Gremlins
I no longer believe in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, but I’m convinced that grammar gremlins visit my manuscripts during the night and insert mistakes. Seriously, how else would apostrophes change into quotation marks? Where do all of those missing…
Continue ReadingWhen humor writers go bad . . .
Son of War, Daughter of Chaos isn’t like my other young adult books. Somehow I went from writing romantic comedies where girls mistake the lawn guy for their blind date (How to Take the Ex Out of Ex-boyfriend) to a story…
