(not by me, that is!)

…could be one of these!

Oh NOES!  It’s blog day, but I’ve been busy revising and totally forgot to come up with something clever and/or fascinating to say!

Hmmmmmmm.  Looks like I’ll have to share some hilarity instead!  For instance, this awesome trailer, which is mostly only awesome for anyone else who was in elementary school in the early 90s:

Hi everyone!

I don’t know if this happens to all authors, but I’ve noticed that for me, at least, my favorite books often fall into two categories:

The Ones I Love So Much I Wish I’d Written Them, like

Warriors & Seekers fans!  Don’t forget!  This weekend (Saturday the 14th), we will be having a very exciting Wands and Worlds author chat – and by “we” I mean ALL the Erin Hunters: Victoria Holmes, Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, and me!  So exciting!  Maybe Vicky will reveal SHOCKING SECRETS ABOUT DOOMED CATS AND FUTURE BOOKS and…maybe she won’t.  ;-)  We’ll have to wait and see!  :-)  But don’t worry if you’re not a member or can’t make it to the

Guess who got to ride in an airplane for the first time?  :-)

Airports are SO COOL!

Look look!

I just read the most hilarious picture book (I’m reading a lot more of those these days!):

This is just a quick post to let you guys know about a chance to win books!  By me!  (And also by other authors, actually, if you scroll around to the rest of the book club blog posts – lots of awesome people there!  Including, in just a couple of weeks, the one and only Vicky Holmes!  Yay!)

Hi everyone!

TADA!

Hi everyone!  It's Mother's Day...my first Mother's Day as a mom!  EEEP!  Hooray!  So I'm going to celebrate by inundating you with baby photos -- hope that's OK!  :-)

Hi hi hi!

So, I've actually had two books come out in the last few months which I haven't even told you about at all.  I know, I'm terrible, but let's blame my baby-fuzzy brain, and the fact that I wrote these so long ago, and also that I didn't know exactly when they were coming out.  Although since they were both tied to movies, I prrrrrrroooooobably could have figured it out, la la la... ;-)  Tsk, tsk.

Yay for school visits!  :-)  It's been a while since my last school visit, back in December.  I didn't do any in January just in case the baby came early (ha ha HA; turns out that was SO NOT HIS PLAN), and then I figured I'd take a few months off after he arrived.  But the lovely and super-organized librarian at Manchester Essex Regional Middle School actually booked me for April 8th over a year ago -- before I was even pregnant!  So I wasn't about to back out of that.  :-)  And what a GREAT school to get me back into the author visit swing of things!

First things first:

Awwwwww.  They'll be best friends in no time!  :-)  Actually, Sunshine is adjusting surprisingly well, I think -- whenever I sit down with him, she comes over to guard us.
