What you referred to as "that canned-green-bean-mushroom-soup casserole thing" is a tradition in our family. We lovingly call them "puke beans" and they are my aunt Linda's claim to fame. Last year, she was asked not to make them, and it was a bitte…
Thank you for having the courage to fight for the freedoms that so many of us take for granted without even realizing it. It is because of you that we all share some sense of protection and stability. Your courage, strength, and committment speaks t…
PS -- I stopped at Borders on my way home and was thrilled to find your book in stock! (Nobody around here has the new Lily Dale title, however, so I finally did the unthinkable and ordered it online...)
Congratulations! So happy for you--and so excited to read the book and revisit some of my favorite character. :)
I've always been iffy on Poe...or any dated material, really. But I vividly remember The Telltale Heart. That, and The Cask of Amontillado. (Have you read that one?) And, like you, I'm for anything that gets kids to read!
LOVE the cover--and can't wait to read the book! Thanks for sharing.
What a great interview! I always learn something new. (And I like to think I know it all...) I'm excited to read the book.

Let me just say that I'm proud to be one of the chosen few "guinea pigs" for the testing of this site. I've been a fan of Wendy's since I defied common logic and judged a book solely by its cover. That book was ALL THE WAY HOME, with its gothic creepiness, and I've been hooked ever since. I've had the great fortune of getting to know Wendy over the years through in-person encounters and lots and lots of emails, and can say that she is a class act. (How she finds the time to do all the things she does I'll never know...) I look forward to being a part of this community!
I keep a LiveJournal that I've been told is pretty funny. And Wendy graciously agreed to be a guest-blogger back when I celebrated my 600th entry. Feel free to visit:

My New Book Blog
Hey Everyone,
I've just been "hired" to write a book blog for Examiner.com (Hartford, CT). I am now their books examiner. I launched my column on Tuesday and have written posts on the James Patterson formula, Visual Bookshelf, the Kindle 2, and Jodi Picoult's upcoming appearance in CT. Currently, that last one is the most popular on the site, which is really cool. While I will be doing a lot to promote local authors, booksellers, and events, I am also going to be posting book reviews, author in… Continue

Extra Copy Of "Witch Hunt"
In my manic search to find a copy of Wendy's early YA novel "Witch Hunt"-now a rarity-I ended up with two. The second is in less than glamorous shape-it could use a bit of cosmetic work (not to mention that the excerpt at the back of the book was torn out), but it's readable. If anybody wants it, I'd be more than happy to send it your way to enjoy. The first person to comment wins!

"Bachelor Boy" And His Women
After viewing my photos from the weekend, Wendy asked me to blog about my experience of being serenaded onstage by Gloria Estefan. Little did either of us know that the story would continue in Canada, where I came face-to-face with Gloria (again!) after the show...
The following are two excerpts from my LiveJournal.

Yesterday, I had the good fortune of being able to "upgrade" my seats for tonight's show from row N to row A in the orchestra. (As in front row, baby!) So, with some encoura… Continue

Congrats on being among those few

- Well, when you write "domestic suspense," meat cleavers are more realistically and readily available than, say, sub-machine-guns. ;-)

- Hi John,
I added "Flutie" pics to my page. As you can see I had a smile that would not go away ALL night long. It was awesome. Enjoy!!
