Dear Facebook, It was my idea first. Actually, that’s probably not true. But if you’re over on Facebook, you’ve noticed that last week was Doppelganger week, in which you put a famous person who is your likeness, as your profile pic. As it turns out, Josh Berk chose Mark Ruffalo as his likeness. As itContinue reading “Who Would Play You In A Movie (8)”

The Sparkly Pants
Have you been watching American Idol? If so, you’ve seen a lot of this. Mostly it’s hysterical, but sometimes it sad and pathetic. A few tears are one thing, but the bawling and tantrums are disgraceful. What does this have to do with sparkly pants you ask? About a year ago, Magnolia needed some newContinue reading “The Sparkly Pants”
Who Would Play You In a Movie (7)
Remember Louis? I interviewed him for my soldier series. And I was all like, he’s so badass but so sweet and nice and super in love with his wife. Well, his lovely and hilarious wife, Amythyst, suggested the perfect actor to play him for my movie. I’m so excited to add Mr. T to theContinue reading “Who Would Play You In a Movie (7)”
Albuquirky
This is actually a photo Josh took from the car window. It was on building we saw as we were looking for Old Town, Albuquerque. Thought some of my Facebook friends would appreciate this.

Little Blueberry
Just because I’m posting a picture of the cutest little baby girl slippers ever, it doesn’t mean I’m hoping for a niece. However, it does mean that my sister called with news that she’s expecting; and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Let this be a testament to my ability to keep secrets. I hate it,Continue reading “Little Blueberry”

Giants are Snotty
I somehow missed the gene most of my family has for vivid dreaming. My dad could write novels out his dreams and possibly outsell Stephanie Meyer. Did you all know that’s how the Twilight Saga was born? Probably, you did. I basically dream about tornadoes and generally I’m not even scared. No bestseller coming outContinue reading “Giants are Snotty”
Stories From Those Who Serves (3)
In case you’re new to the blog, I started a series of interviews with soldiers after writing a YA novel about a girl who goes through ROTC in high school and joins the Navy. In my research, I found so many fascinating stories, that I wanted to begin sharing them. Or maybe more accurately, IContinue reading “Stories From Those Who Serves (3)”
Who Would Play You in a Movie (6)
Kristin kind of rules this game. And by kind of, I mean totally. In fact, she and another girl I don’t know, found Kristin’s Hollywood likeness without my help. She also helped me cast Heidi, Josh’s sister. (Full cast list below) Kristin and I work together at a place that shall remain nameless, but someContinue reading “Who Would Play You in a Movie (6)”
Self-Deprecating Sunday (11)
In which the YA author showcases what’s strange and lovely about the teenage years. Today I give you my seventh grade school photo. Um, it’s not a mullet, right? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight? I’ve got at least an inch I could trim back on each side before it qualifies, I think. Also, there’s that perm. The first oneContinue reading “Self-Deprecating Sunday (11)”
