As of last week, I am no longer an RT virgin. The Romantic Times Booklovers Convention in Dallas was an absolute blast. If you are a fan (or writer) of romance novels, I highly recommend it. I took a wonderful plotting class from Cherry Adair, who changed my view of Post-It notes completely. If you’re  […]

It’s new, it’s critically-acclaimed, and it’s one of the sweetest YA books I’ve read in years. It’s SIMON VS. THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA, written by my friend and critique group partner, Becky Albertalli. I was honored to attend the launch for this book at Little Shop of Stories in Decatur, Georgia, on Saturday night, and  […]

Congratulations to Kathleen Arnold of Lansdale, PA, who was randomly selected as the March winner of a $10 Amazon gift card! I decided these little drawings would be more fun if we used them as an opportunity to get to know one another, so here is a picture of Kathleen and her lovely family. She  […]

Okay, okay, yes. Yesterday’s book announcement was totally an April Fool’s joke. I was both delighted and a tiny bit guilty about how many of you fell for it. Although I will say, I think it says something that most of those who fell for it didn’t comment on the blog: emailing or FB messaging  […]

Many of you have been kind enough to ask whether there will be another e-book released before the official re-launch of THE MARRIAGE PACT in November, and I’m excited to share with you that I have just finished the first draft of my next romance novel! It’s in the hands of my critique partners as  […]

Guys. Look at this. Isn’t it beautiful? You are looking at the official cover for the official re-release of THE MARRIAGE PACT, which I can now tell you will be coming to a bookstore near you on November 3, 2015. And guess what else? That’s my birthday. My 40th birthday. It’s too much to handle.  […]

I know, I know, I know…. You guys are telling me — with increasing (but loving) impatience — that you’re ready for another book. And I am so sorry that I’ve been sidelined more than once in the past year. I could say something precious and lofty like, “It’s all part of the artistic process,”  […]

Happy New Year! A year ago today, I set out a list of 36 books to read in 2014. Of those titles, I managed to read just over a third with these thirteen: 179 Ways to Save a Novel: Matters of Vital Concern to Fiction Writers by Peter Selgin Someone Else’s Love Story by Joshilyn  […]

Good morning and happy December! This is the month for mistletoe, Christmas lights and latkes. It’s also time for  my traditional ‘Holy Crap Where Did the Year Go, I’ve Accomplished Nothing’ freakout. And eggnog lattes at Starbucks, which are not only delicious but prove that even Starbucks is human. Unless they aren’t. Because if they  […]

Here. We. Go! It’s been a couple of months of biting my tongue while all the final details were hammered out and contracts inked, but I’m thrilled to announce that The Marriage Pact trilogy has been picked up by St. Martin’s Press/Macmillan Entertainment. They have bought the English-language publication rights to all three books and  […]
