Lulu, recuperating from trauma of haircut. This is the chair I used to sit in to mark up my manuscript (still loathe editing myself on a monitor), but Lu’s taken it over.

My piece, ‘Writers Need a Plan’ for writers (and would-bes) just went up online. Hope you enjoy! http://shotsmag.co.uk/feature_view.aspx?FEATURE_ID=546

Enough with the sweaters. This Father’s Day I gave my guy an early gift—tix to Lorraine Hansberry’s final play. She was a genius. The incandescent performances by Oscar Isaac and Rachel Brosnahan honor her memory.

Height of delight for an author is being interviewed by the great @MegWolitzer—hilarious, brilliant, good-hearted. Thanks @LILitfest!

Bad, Bad, Seymour Brown has been named one of Amazon’s Editor’s Picks: Best Mystery, Thrillers, and Suspense of the Month! Check it out!

Back then, the wise and brave Manhattan DA was a young lawyer in my husband’s firm. I needed someone to tell me what being a Harvard undergrad was like at the time my main character was a student there. Alvin fit the bill: He was patient, informative, and great company. A totally A+ guy.

Fantastic time at the @poetswritersinc annual gala. I’m with the Long Island contingent, my pal (and super writer) @nelsondeMille and actor and memoirist @Susan_Lucci. And the program! @levarburton was the most brilliant MC ever.

She’s my near-constant companion, though she has a disconcerting habit of glancing at my computer monitor and rolling her eyes. When I needed a dog for my Corie Geller series, no name came. I used “Lulu” as a placeholder and it just stuck. So Bad, Bad Seymour Brown has a rescue dog not quite like mine–yet I‘d know her if I saw her.

Sooo excited! Just schlepped a carton of Bad, Bad Seymour Brown over my threshold. It will be published on May 2nd—though it would be great if you preordered now.
