Blog postThis past weekend, I spent some time going through bins full of old papers, a mess of things that included elementary school projects, photo albums, college essays and design work from my late 20s. A lot of it could be tossed, some I reorganized and stored until the next time I decide to go through it.
One lovingly preserved file organizer held a mess of writing and drawings from my childhood: illustrated books I created, plays I wrote with my cousins, collages of colorful pictures, f -

She’s dead. Oh, God, she’s dead...
Mindy Faraday’s life just fell apart. Within weeks, she went from self-assured future lawyer to defeated, aimless mess, living in sweatpants in her parents’ spare room. Her family, with no idea what to do with her, hopes a change of scenery might help. Shipped off to visit her -
Blog postOne of my favorite things about writing a series is the fact that characters can come and go throughout, even as I have the opportunity to create new people. I begin each book with an idea of the story I want to tell, and from there the characters either introduce themselves or step forward out of the past, or both. Sometimes I know that I want to continue to tell a certain heroine’s story, other times the story involves someone entirely new. And yet I always like to connect them, in some way

Blog postI’m about a third of the way through writing my next novel, with a rough outline of the rest of the plot. As always, some days it’s much easier to get into the creative groove than others, but I continue to open up the file and plug away. If I don’t write, then I edit, or research, or put it aside and daydream—but the goal is always to get words on screen, as many as possible in one sitting.
I’ve also been thinking a lot about what it means to be a successful author. In a change from -
Blog postWriting can be a lonely and discouraging experience at times. Those inescapable dark days when we feel like we’ll never amount to anything and can’t write worth a damn (even though we know it’s our lying, double-crossing internal doubter talking), or when someone, even kindly, manages in word or action to dismiss or diminish what we’re working so hard to accomplish.
These are the not-so-fun moments, the lows and valleys of the process. When it’s hard to feel excited or inspired, and t -
Blog post“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
― Philip Pullman
One of the most extraordinary gifts of human consciousness is the gift of imagination. It’s something we don’t foster or value much in adulthood, not the way we do in children, though it’s a necessary tool of every storyteller from author to actor, teacher to scientist, musician to historian.
Because really, when it comes down to it, we’re all storytellers. -

From the moment she arrives, nothing is as it seems…
Taking a much-needed break from her thriving career as an artist and gallery owner, Hannah Wood plans to spend a few weeks housesitting with her friends the Hofflins at a beautiful home in Marseille. A free place to stay, sunny skies and white sandy beaches in the picturesque south of France—she’d be a f -
Blog postThe cursor is taunting me. #feeltheslump
I think you could safely call it a slump. It’s a nice descriptive word, slump. It sounds like what it is.
Lately I’ve been somewhat underwhelmed with myself as an author, besieged by doubts. Who did I think I was, that I could really do this? At some point someone will catch onto the fact that I have no idea what I’m doing (many of my critical readers probably already have), and I’ll be kicked out of the club. The club that I don’t actu -

Blog postThe last few months have been busy in my life outside writing, which means that while I’ve put a lot of thoughts in my journal I haven’t come up with any brilliant new ideas for books, have been stalled in any marketing efforts, just haven’t felt like working on any of it. It’s been a creative lull.
As I was beating myself up about this yet again this morning, I tried to remember what’s really true.
What’s really true is, writing is my hobby because I ENJOY it, not because it’ -
Blog postLast night I was invited to give a talk about writing to a women’s group, which was an honor and a pleasure. I so appreciate the attention and interest of those 25 women, who asked such intelligent questions and so generously celebrated my accomplishments. Following is the text of what I shared about myself.
I’m honored and excited to be invited to speak to you, because of what this group does and what it’s meant to my family, and also because it’s a huge treat for me to talk about wr -
