More About the Author

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable Plot Line, December 20, 2004

This review is from: Smallville #7: Runaway (Smallville (Little Brown Paperback)) (Mass Market Paperback)

I have all the Smallville books, and I found this book one of the weaker ones. Set in the beginning of Smallville (First Season), Colon has almost completely ignored the relationships forged in the first season television show. Yes, Clark and Lex are friends, but that is the extent of anything Smallville. In this book, Clark runs away and lives in the city with a ragtag bunch of runaways. He gets involve in their criminal ways, and falls for one of the runaways, a grungy tough street girl. There is very little mention of Lex, Chloe, Lana or Pete. But worse, Clark seems out of character. In most cases, when Clark is out of character, he is affected by red kryptonite or even kryptonite. Here, there isn't kryptonite to affect him, but he acts reckless and irresponsible. For Smallville fans, this is a letdown.

This review is from: Smallville #7: Runaway (Smallville (Little Brown Paperback)) (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book by Miss Colon. It had the right amount action, drama, and even a bit of romance in there. I liked the OCs the author put into the story and the Luna/Clark romance. Wish Luna and the gang would've stuck around longer though :( She and Clark made a good pair. This could've been an ep of the series, in my opinion.

I recommend this book, I finished it in a few days (If work hadn't been involved, would've been sooner lol)

5.0 out of 5 stars WHY DOES CLARK RUN AWAY FROM HOME?, April 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Smallville #7: Runaway (Smallville (Little Brown Paperback)) (Mass Market Paperback)

I have been a fan of Smallville since it first came on TV in 2001. I watch it every Wednesday and Sunday but I prefer reading the book in the Smallville Series. I really enjoying reading Runaway By Colon because it has action packed right into the book and Clark feels that he cannot stand living at home so he runs away from Smallville and goes to Metropolis to start a new life but everyone in his hometown is worried about him because they are not sure if he will ever return to Smallville. Clark's parents are really worried about him a lot so his dad Jonathan Kent calls the sheriff and tells him that his only son is missing and he does not know anything about the details of his absence only to find out that Clark ran away so that he would not be such a huge burden to his parents.
