I love books and magazines, and I've been fortunate enough to write three young adult novels based on the Smallville TV series and a bunch of Batman children's books (some with stickers! I have arrived).
I've also written O, the Oprah Magazine; Marie Claire; Jane; Harper's Bazaar; Rolling Stone; Details; and others. Some of my O articles were even included in the O Guide to Life book series. I mean, can it get any better than that?
Well, yes, it can. My own book, Cherries in Winter, an inspirational memoir about my family, was published in hardcover in November 2009 (thank you, Doubleday), and will be out in paperback (love you, Viking) in October, 2010.
In the kitchen, I am more menace than novice. My specialty is a rather dense, earthy banana bread made with whole wheat flour and blackstrap molasses. I know my husband is a kind and loving man because he eats it and tells me it's good.
We have two cats. Thus far, they have not tried to escape, so we must be doing something right.
