The Friendship Fix
I am thrilled to announce a very special guest appearance.

Ever wondered whether Charlotte and Penelope have a destructive relationship? Or why Richard can’t just get over…
Read MoreA bit about "Blood Lily"
I’d completely forgotten that Penguin (the publishing house, not the Batman villain) had filmed me last year at RWA, talking about The Betrayal of the Blood Lily. Here’s that little snippet:
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: Pink IX has a title!!
That sort of counts as a teaser, doesn’t it? Thanks so much to everyone who suggested flowers for the title of Pink IX. It was a tough one.

Three of the seven Pinkoramas feature scenes from The Mischief of the Mistletoe (go, Turnip!); I got word last week that Mistletoe will be published in a UK edition; and, of course, Turnip– I mean, The Mischief of the Mistletoe, was nominated for RWA’s RITA award.

Here it is, the moment we’ve all been waiting for… the Pinkorama vote! With seven strong candidates, which will take home the prize? In the order in which they arrived in my inbox, here are the Pink Carnation peep dioaramas: 1. “Ivy & Peeptrigue” by Jean. (For more details, click here.) 2. “The Mispeep of…
