Internationally Best-Selling Author

You get the popcorn, I’ll bring the hot sauce.

January 22, 2014 Filed Under: WCIBY, Why Can't I Be You

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!

June 3, 2013 Filed Under: STAY, STELLA, WCIBY, Why Can't I Be You

  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...]

WCIBY Whirlwind!

March 5, 2013 Filed Under: giveaways, WCIBY, Why Can't I Be You, writing, writing advice

Last week was a whirlwind! I kicked off pub day with an interview at 13Wham News This Morning (watch here), and chased it with a great chat with Bill Kenower from Author2Author Radio about superhero nosebleeds, outlining, and how writing is a lot like gardening (listen here).  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!

February 26, 2013 Filed Under: STELLA, WCIBY, Why Can't I Be You

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...]

How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ve cleaned the gutters and raced Roxy to the vet ER to determine she did not (thankfully) eat any of the scrap of composite plastic decking she magically found out of freaking nowhere. (Getting pet insurance was the smartest thing I’ve ever done). I’m extremely bad at rest. Although I do find puttering around the house kind of meditative. Cleaning the gutters exhausted my body, but calmed my mind (briefly).
This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a couple times a week and we all like to stand around staring at each other. It’s lovely. Francis seems just as interested in us as we are in them. (And look at that stance! And Francis’s little paw resting on the ledge 😍). #groundsquirrel #groundsquirrelsofinstagram #dailyroxydog #dogstagram #neighbors
I don’t think there’s anything more comforting I don’t think there’s anything more comforting than lying in a hammock. I’m exhausted. I’ve pushed against the limits of my being very hard all summer working on my draft and I definitely need to soak up some calm quiet on a large scale. Which is also to say if I owe you a call/email/text, it might take me a week or two to circle back. I’m going to catch up with myself and then with everyone else this time. Which I think might mean spending as much time as I can lying in my hammock listening to birds. #rest

All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snack All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snacks to crunch while I’m working. But since I have MCAS and it limits my diet, most of what I eat is food I make myself. Thankfully, corn tortillas are a safe food for me (everyone’s MCAS is different — so please don’t take my safe foods as any kind of sign they’re safe for someone else who has MCAS). Today, I remembered that I  have tiny cookie cutters, so I made myself a bowl of mini chips. I tossed them with lime juice and salt and threw them in the air fryer. And then, of course, because I don’t want to waste food, I did the same for the scrap pieces (which somehow tasted even better!). So happy! #tortillachips
