Not sure if I've warmed up to the whole e-reader, kindle, non-book thing. I love books.I've tried reading on my iPod Touch and the feeling just isn't the same.

Gifts for Writers

This year, I asked for what I always ask for in terms of Holiday Gifts (and in one week- birthday gifts). Writer-related stuff. Now, when I first married my husband, he bought me a box of No.2 pencils and a pack of Bic pens. This is what he thought I meant when I asked for "writer-ey" stuff. Over the years, he's learned and has been guided by me and my very bookish family on what constitutes great writer gifts.This year, I was pleasantly surprised...

THE LOST SYMBOL and THE LOST SISTER - It must be fate!

Yes, you read it right. Both Dan Brown and I have our highly anticipated novels coming out at the same time. His is called THE LOST SYMBOL. My book is THE LOST SISTER.

Another coincidence, he's from Andover, and so is my father in law. One more freaky fact? His last...

But, I digress...So...in honor of all the contests that are going on for YA authors, I decided to give it a try. I'll be touring on my GCC blogs next week and hopefully they...
