I have big news: Allie Larkin's WHY CAN'T I BE YOU?, to Universal for producers Stacy Cramer and Heather Lieberman, and writers Jennifer Crittenden and Gabrielle Allan (What's Your Number?) attached to adapt, by Dana Spector at Paradigm on behalf of Elisabeth Weed at Weed Literary. There was a tight publication schedule for WCIBY, and I spent a very intense stretch of time living in my head with Jenny, Fish, Myra, Robbie & Heather. I love them dearly. I actively miss them in the strangest way, and I wouldn't have let them go to just anyone. Jennifer Crittenden and Gabrielle Allan are … [Read more...]
Pup Culture!
I'm way behind on updates, but I wanted to share the spread Stella and I have in the latest issue of Pup Culture Magazine. Michelle Macirella from Luminaria Photography is amazing, and so much fun to chat with too. Stella and I have been getting to know each other on new terms over the past few months, and I'm continually amazed by the depth of her spirit. She never lets fear get in the way of loyalty, (nor does she let my desire to sleep in get in the way of our morning jog). I'm honored to be included in the magazine and love having these photos with one of my dearest … [Read more...]

And had interviews up at SheKnows.com, Chick Lit is Not Dead, Chick Lit Central, and Chick Lit Bee. Friday night was my first reading for WHY CAN'T I BE YOU, and it was fun to kick it all off at the Greece Barnes & Noble. I even got to see Steph the Bookworm (right), her friend Taylor (left), and her mom, Kim … [Read more...]
WCIBY Sightings!
Tomorrow is the big day! WHY CAN'T I BE YOU hits shelves. You might think I'd be used to this now, but you'd be wrong. My belly does a backflip every time I think about it. I'll be on 13 Wham News This Morning toward the end of the 7:00 hour. And chatting with Bill Kenower, Editor-in-Chief of AUTHOR Magazine on Author2Author Radio at 5PM EST. And WCIBY has started to make appearances across the internet. It's SheKnows.com's Red Hot Book of the Week, which means for a little while this morning, I was sharing webpage space with Bradley Cooper and a muscular gold guy. There's … [Read more...]
