GCC Tours Laurie Stolarz

I want to bring to everyone's attention the next amazing book by one of my favorite YA writers, Laurie Stolarz. If you haven't read her Blue is For Nightmares series, Bleed, or Project 17, then go right out and buy them---along with her latest book, Deadly Little Secret. Not only is Laurie super-cool (we recently discovered we live one town over from each other and got to hang out and grab a coffee together) but she's a GREAT writer and her stories...

Finishing up THE LOST SISTER

I'm in that crucial point where I've gotten 3/4 of THE LOST SISTER (the sequel to SISTERS OF MISERY) written, and I'm starting to freak out a little bit. I think that I'd feel better if I had a pygmy tarsier as a pet (they just rediscovered this little guy, one of the world's smallest and rarest primates, in Indonesia that was thought to be extinct for eight decades. If he was my writing partner, I think that this task would be a lot easier. Well,...

Thanks Amazon! #18,510 in Books

I need to mark this occasion down so that when my number heads back up into the 400,000 range, I can look back and say, "See Stephenie Meyer, you only beat me by 18,509. Ha!" So, now I need to get back to finishing THE LOST SISTER. A friend asked me in an email the other night what my process is for writing a book. Do I outline? Do I know where the book is going? Do I have a big picture or do I write scene by scene?Realizing that I would have to answer his question, I figured that I would post it here for other writers struggling with the same...

Are you there, Amazon? It's me, Megan.

Just running a little test to see why my blog posts aren't loading on my AmazonConnect blog. Nothing too exciting here. Except that it's Halloween!!!! And today I'm going to share a spooky story (along with some pics) of what happened at my launch party for Sisters of Misery. There was a recent article about "moi" and my book in my hometown newspaper that gives a little hint to the spookiness that occurred the night of my signing.http://www.wickedlocal.com/swampscott/fun/entertainment/arts/x1157500955/Beyond-MiseryStay tuned for a creepy coincidence...

Quietly taking over the Internet

Again, I want to thank all the bloggers who've been kindly promoting my book, SISTERS OF MISERY, as a great Halloween Read. Here are a few posts to some recent blog entries, reviews, giveaways, and interviews, as well as a link to an article written about little old me in my hometown newspaper, The Marblehead Reporter. One amazing blogger even started a fan page on Facebook for me. How sweet is that? And another made a little mini-movie review. I've never felt so much support for my writing as I have over the past few months. I'm so excited to...

Thanks Mabel's House!

I love stumbling onto bloggers' pages when they mention my book. I love it even more when they are hosting a giveaway for my book, SISTERS OF MISERY.This is what Liz at Mabel's House is doing. Not only did she give a great review of my book and recommended it as a wonderfully spooky Halloween read, but she's also hosting a giveaway on her site.So, I'm linking to her site, not because I want to win a copy of SISTERS (I have more than enough copies, thank you very much. Plus, I know how it ends...hee hee!), but because I wanted to thank her for hosting...

GCC Tours Stacy DeKeyser

This month I'm so excited to tour another member of the GCC -- Stacy DeKeyser. Stacy's novel, JUMP THE CRACKS, has been widely praised and is a fast-paced, suspenseful read. (It's on the top of my TBR list for sure!) Here's a little more info about the book and my interview with Stacy:When fifteen-year-old Victoria witnesses what she believes to be child neglect on a train to New York, she makes a split-second decision and takes the young boy with...

My Sister: An Extra in Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Yup, that's my sister Jocelyn (or at least the back of her) on the set of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I was there as an extra as well. My daughter was a featured extra, which meant that she actually had her own scene with one of the stars of the movie (she was called "bubble girl" because she got to blow and pop bubbles). That was my first and last time as an extra on a movie. Being from Boston and not familiar with the way extras are treated (the phrase...

GCC Tours Linda Gerber

The next GCC Tour is Linda Gerber, author of the fabulous book, Death by Bikini (I think we can all relate), who has come out with a new book called DEATH BY LATTE! I was actually just at a book signing at Wellesley Booksmith near Boston, MA and her book, Death by Bikini, was prominently displayed as a top read. Silly me, I didn't even think to bring a camera that day (and I haven't figured out how to work the one on my Treo yet -- come to think...
