Internationally Best-Selling Author

Stupid Cold

October 21, 2011 Filed Under: Argo the wonder dog, gluten-free, STELLA, the cat, the dreaded lurgy

I don't get sick gracefully.  I have little patience for myself when I'm not at 100% and I'm not good at relaxing.  The dreaded lurgy hit our house this week, slowed everything down, and forced us to cancel our super fun weekend plans with our favorite people. Instead of showing you all what a champion whiner I can be, here are a few things that are cheering me up.Teeny tiny gluten-free bunny cookies.I don't know if it's helping or not, but it tastes good.I feel like Siri really gets me.The flash on my new phone turns Argo into Alien Dog.And, it's a terrible picture, but this:The cat suddenly … [Read more...]

It’s National Library Week. As a child, the libr It’s National Library Week. As a child, the library was my precious refuge. I took full advantage of the ability to read anything I wanted to while I was in the hallowed halls of a town library. And when I was overwhelmed by classroom life, spending lunch in the school library reading the encyclopedias was my favorite form of self-care. After my first novel came out, a childhood friend sent me a picture (first photo) from my hometown library. I don’t have the right words to explain the pride I feel to know that my own books are on the same shelves that held the books that taught me about storytelling when I was a child. And last year, right before the shutdown, when I popped in to the San Francisco Public Library, I got a little misty-eyed when I found a copy of STAY, with Argo’s beautiful face looking up at me (second photo). It is a powerful thing for our communities to have public libraries and the support of librarians who work so hard to cultivate safe spaces and free access to information and literature. Happy National Library Week to all of you. #nationallibraryweek
