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.

5.0 out of 5 stars a new boy in town, January 26, 2005

This review is from: Smallville #9: Temptation (Smallville (Little Brown Paperback)) (Mass Market Paperback)

an exchange student from france comes to smallville and everyone is just falling head over heels for him, including lana and chloe. clark is jealous so he decides to keep some red krytonite that he found in the woods. his antics causes a lot of problems that coincide with a lot of homicides in the area.

this book keeps you wondering and the characters are right on track. i do wish they would make more of these books for the many adults who do adore the show but get tired of the books that is obviously written for children under the age of 12.

This book is well written in keeping with the show. Characterization is excellent as is the storyline, though I wish it had been a little longer. Read it in one day, despite my busy schedule. I look forward to more of this author's stories to read.

The Smallville book series is a good way to extend the television series. Each book is like a new episode we didn't get to see. This book is all about Clark Kent and his insecurities as a teenager who wishes he had the confidence to show Lana Lang how he feels about her, among other things.

He finds a piece of Red Kryptonite which always makes him feel good and takes away his inhibitions. He knows it isn't good to expose himself to the red kryptonite for very long, but he gets it in his head that if he only uses it a little bit, he may be able to get the benefits without all the bad side effects. Of course, he isn't really able to control how he uses it that much. The question is, how will Clark get away from the red kryptonite so we can have the good Clark back? I guess you will have to read the book to find out.

I only gave this book 3 out of 5 stars because I don't like to see Clark on red kryptonite for very long and he was mostly in "dark Clark" mode in this book. Still it is a good enough story to recommend it to fans of Smallville.
