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  […]

That’s right, we can now hear Aunt Mildred say, “Nur einen Moment auf den Lippen, ein Leben lang auf den Rippen.” (a translation of “A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.”) That old bat. I am so delighted to have my first translated publication available (and for a short while it will  […]

Featured image for Even if You Didn’t Go to My Alma Mater… - Image Source at https://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/uga-bulldog-logo.jpg
… I bet this story will touch you. Malcolm Mitchell is a junior wide receiver at the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!), and this story about his joining a ladies’ book club in Athens went a long way to ameliorating my feelings after a tough loss to South Carolina on Saturday. If you don’t tear  […]

Featured image for Overheard at Whole Foods – What Do You Think? - Image Source at https://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/toy-shopping-cart-small-300x267.jpg
So I had to run a couple of errands late this morning and stopped in at Whole Foods to grab some lunch. And some hummus. And a chocolate bar, because organic = healthy, right? I’ve explained before that we writers in general and novelists in particular are notorious eavesdroppers, and I am no exception. Also,  […]

Featured image for It’s Never Too Late for a Scene in the Rain - Image Source at https://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/notebook-rain-kiss-300x200.jpg
Maybe I’ve got Emily Giffin on the brain after attending her talk at the Decatur Book Festival last weekend, or maybe there’s something else, but I’ve been seeing this scene from Something Borrowed in my head all morning [yes, some people get songs stuck in their heads, I get scenes]. And, okay, from this clip  […]

Featured image for Author Computer Hacked: Terrible Novel Disseminated Everywhere - Image Source at https://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/shockedMJ-300x300.jpg
With the kerfuffle this week about hackers accessing naked pictures of celebrities, it got me thinking about what is on my computer and phone I wouldn’t want shared. I don’t have any naked selfies (sorry to disappoint), but I do have some pretty horrifyingly bad prose lying around. And some God-awful poetry. Overwrought, melodramatic letters  […]

Featured image for Self-Publishing Workshop Nov. 15th: Perks, Pitfalls and Process - Image Source at https://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/typewriter2-300x225.jpg
“Can I talk to you about self-publishing?” I get this question often from my fellow writers, usually when they have completed or nearly completed a book, and are thinking about the next steps. They’ve heard that self-publishing is the road to riches, or that it’s career suicide. Maybe self-publishing is a sign of failure as  […]

Featured image for Talking Off-Page and Off-Stage - Image Source at https://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/ShakespeareSpoiler-208x300.jpg
I recently finished reading The Husband’s Secret, by Liane Moriarty, which I adored… right up until the very end. I won’t spoil it for anyone, because it’s absolutely worth reading despite the following complaint: there was this EPILOGUE… Now, if you’ve read it, maybe you are rolling your eyes with me or maybe you loved  […]

“Do one thing every day that scares you.” I love that advice from Eleanor Roosevelt, a supremely cool person in so many ways. I’ve always thought of myself as a fairly adventurous person, and as I chatted with a mommy-friend the other day over coffee, I realized that so many of the things I’m proud  […]

Featured image for A Brief Note of Thanks + Robin Williams Tribute Video - Image Source at https://mjpullen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/WaxSeal-300x199.jpg
I just want to say thank you for the outpouring of support last week. Like many survivors of suicide, I was particularly affected and saddened by the loss of our beloved Robin Williams. Thinking of the impact of his loss, I re-posted this blog from last January about my own mother’s death, and so many  […]
