New York Reading Tonight!
Neither wind nor rain nor great heaping mounds of snow in the New York metro area shall keep these authors from their appointed readings! For those of you brave enough– and equipped with really strong snow boots– I’ll be reading from my latest book, The Temptation of the Night Jasmine, at seven o’clock at Madame…
Read MoreNew on the Website
Procrastinating from starting a new book always means that I suddenly find myself embracing the busywork tasks I’ve been putting off for ages.

Read MorePink across the Pond
The UK version of The Secret History of the Pink Carnation is now officially out on shelves across the Pond. Unlike some of the foreign editions, which stick pretty closely to the American cover, Pink Britain chose to go with a totally different look. Which do you like better?

Read MoreHappy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day, all! I hope you’re wallowing in lace-edged Valentines and heart-shaped boxes full of gooey chocolaty substances. Earlier this week, in honor of Valentine’s Day, my little sister’s debate society postponed their usual policy debate in favor of a poetry reading.
