Morning Funny

If you're on the hunt for humor in your YA reading, take a look at this new blog:

Read It and Laugh

I was recently asked to join several other authors, all of whom write humor for teens, in a group blog.  We'll be chatting about what we're writing, things we find funny, and keeping track of humorous books as they hit the market.  Guest bloggers will be making appearances to discuss what they're writing and the humorous books they've discovered.  While you're there, feel free to suggest titles for our Funny List, which will help other readers find YA humor when they're in the mood for a lighter read.

You can also follow Read It and Laugh on Twitter or "like" us on Facebook for updates and to chat about what you're reading.

All of us love the darker reads, but sometimes you want light and happy for a change of pace and it can be tough to find.  We hope this will be a great resource!

I Am A Reader, Not A Writer

Well, I *am* a writer, but I was interviewed today on the popular blog I Am A Reader, Not A Writer, where I discussed my favorite writing tips, quotes, and even my pet peeves.  Check it out here:

I Am A Reader, Not A Writer


Let me know how you'd answer some of the interview questions.  Where would you go in a time machine?  What would you take to a desert island? (And...Coke or Pepsi?)

Kindle Resources

If you've recently purchased a Kindle (congratulations!) there's a great website you might wish to visit if you'd like to find book recommendations, read tips for making the most of your Kindle, or chat with other Kindle owners.  It's called Kindle Lovers, and you can visit by clicking the link below:

Kindle 3

Once you've visited, let me know your thoughts.  Did you find books you might not otherwise have discovered?  Were the forums easy for you to navigate?  

AND...have you discovered other great sites that Kindle or Nook users might enjoy?  Let me know!  With the holidays coming soon, many of you are likely to receive/give e-readers, so the more resources we can share, the better.

Five Things About...

Today I'm featured on author Elizabeth Boyle's blog as part of her popular "Five Things About..." series of author interviews. Find out my dreaded childhood nickname, favorite romantic city, and more.


While you're there, be sure to check out the excerpts of Elizabeth's fantastic romance novels.  Her witty heroes and heroines have put her books at the top of my Must Buy list for years.

TONIGHT: Live Chat!

Quickie post to announce that I'll be doing a live chat TONIGHT, November 15, at the fantastic YA Bound website from 7 - 8 pm, ET, to discuss my new romantic comedy, Shot Through the Heart.  For more info and to enter the chat room (it's easy, I promise!), visit this link:

Feel free to ask questions about any of my books, writing, my recent Amazing Race casting call, or even about my dog.  I'll answer anything!  Looking forward to seeing many of you there!
