More About the Author

My 76th juvenile novel, THE DEARLY DEPARTED (ISBN#9781590923818) was published in April, 2007, and my three-book Christmas series called The Santa Diaries will be out this fall. I also write for young adults and am busy revising a YA novel for my agent. I have written historical novels, mysteries, supernatural/ghost stories and humor. Lots of humor. I have authored four book series: TAFFY SINCLAIR (Bantam Skylark), its spin-off series, THE FABULOUS FIVE (Bantam Skylark), BOYTALK (Random House Bullseye) and BONE CHILLERS (HarperPaperback). The BONE CHILLERS became an ABC Saturday Morning TV series in 1996. In Hollywood, I took part in the filming of public service announcements shown at the end of each episode. What a blast!

My humorous novel, THE GREAT MOM SWAP, became an ABC Saturday Night Movie in 1995. When I'm not writing, I'm teaching "Writing the Middle-Grade Novel" and "Writing the Young Adult Novel" online for UCLA Extension.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty un-realistic...., August 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Melanie's Identity Crisis (Fabulous Five, Book 15) (Paperback)

Okay, in this book, the 7th grade is supposed to be doing a study on their families and stuff. Well, when Melanie starts, she finds letters her mom wrote to her grandma when Melanie was born, that said Mel was sort of a mistake and that they hadn't wanted a child so soon! Melanie doesn't read the rest of the letter though, and is positive her parents don't really love her, and that she ruined the chance of a great career for her mom. Meanwhile, Mel is also worked up because the boys she likes are ignoring her and she is worried they don't like her for some reason. I think that part is soo stupid. Why in the world would someone get so worked up about some boys not paying attention to you? This book is not really a 'must-read' in this series.
