  • I am thankful for…

    Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

    I am thankful…

    That I didn’t swallow the fly in my coffee this morning.

    That I had coffee this morning.

    •  

    That I have children who are full of health and laughter and flights of fairy-winged fancy.

    Who fill my world with health and laughter and flights of fairy-winged fancy.

    •  

    I am thankful for parents who love me and instilled within me the ability to love.

    And friends who support me even when they think I’m insane. (And are kind enough to let those moments of insanity pass without comment.)

    •  

     

    I am thankful for my husband.

    Who buys me old books. And new books.

    And even better—well-used books.

    •  

    I’m thankful I have work.

    That I can put fingers to pen to paper to write.

    To create words that might ease a heart on grieving days and bring a smile on peculiar days.

    •  

    I am thankful for times of tranquility, when the world feels a little more in balance, and for the times (so often in hindsight) when struggling has forced me to give. To grow. To dream.

    I am thankful that I have One who holds my heart above the mess of myself.

    And…I am thankful for you. My reading friends.  ;0)

  • Braving the Wilds of a Writers’ Conference

    Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

    Hello, bookish explorers! Last year (as you’ll recall), I stealthily returned from the Central Coast Writers’ Conference to give you my Nine (only slightly creepy) Reasons to Attend one of these babies. Today, I take you back there, this time behind the scenes, where we will brave the wilds of the conference together. I will be your guide, taking you up close and personal for a few brief encounters with some of the more intriguing things writers do in their natural habitat.

     

    Our first stop on the tour is the Pride. A Pride is a group of writers (also referred to as a herd), related or not, who stick together for the common goals of stalking famous authors (without appearing overtly creepy—the creepy ones use the herd to blend in), saving seats behind said authors, and making Starbucks runs in between classes. In this photo, we have a Pride of yours truly alongside mother (Susan) and sister (Kati) at breakfast.

     

    The next place we come to is the Author Brawl. This is where authors challenge each other to strange feats of mental prowess such as word games, prose twisters, and blog visibility while the rest of us surround them chanting the biggest words we know. In this pic, we’ve got the plucky challenger, New York Times bestselling author, Jay Asher, arm wrestling Anne R. Allen. Unfortunately for Jay, Anne is winning (though just barely) by the sheer force of mind over matter and her invention of the word “Snookibooks.”

     

    Third stop on our tour is the Watering Hole where writers converge every chance they get to eat, refresh, and seek out savage sage advice from other more experienced authors and super cool agents. Here, you can see Susan, Kristen, myself, agent savant Laurie McLean, Kati, and Jay eating all of Ms. McLean’s french fries whilst discussing the finer points of Doc Marten shoes. Don’t be misled by the tame-looking smiles. This table was a riot of awesomeness.

     

    Last, but not least, we come to the Moment of Humility. When, just as you’re leaving this wild and slightly-terrifying land, a bird craps on your boot and Jay is there to photograph it. Well, first he and Kati laughed. Like any good friends would.

     

    What’s the mood noise of the moment? Guns N’ Roses

  • Harry Potter Rabid Fan Pics

    Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

    Well, rabid fan peeps, did you see Harry Potter??? Annnnd? Did you love it?

    Peter and I did our rabid fan thing opening night (which mainly looks like me being the rabid fan and Pete being my arm-candy) with the most awesome groupies ever! Some of them had been there since the wee hours of the morning and STILL had energy! Like these ladies. Check out the pillow.

    I caught this group walking by us in full character, looking way too fabulous. Love the lady in the back!

    And lucky us—right after we got in line, THIS cool fan dropped by to hang out with us for the long wait. Hey, Jay Asher! (Sadly, I’m not in costume…blame the long work day. I do have my cool purple hair streaks though. They’re very “Tonks” looking, don’t ya think?)

    For much of the evening we held the honored place of Very Last in Line. Until THIS guy came and stole it. We dubbed him “random end of the line guy.” He embraced the title, so, of course, we had to get a pic with him.

    Once inside, the theater hosted a costume contest. These two almost won. Aren’t they adorable? I dig her hair.

    And apparently Batman is a huge Potter fan. Who knew?

    Finally, the show began. My sister, her hubs, and Pete and I sat in the front row with our cool Harry Potter 3D glasses.

    My sister cried. I ate gobs of buttered popcorn.

  • An Exclusive Blog Interview with Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler

    Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

    Today, I have the huge honor of sharing with you a recent interview I did with my hilarious friend, Jay Asher (whom I introduced to you here during a discussion over whether he named his 13RW character after Hannah Montana), and the equally awesome Carolyn Mackler (whose twitter-feed I daily stalk), co-authors of “The Future of Us” (which I reviewed in last week’s post). As writers, they’re smart and straightforward. As co-writers, they border on being witty geniuses (clearly exemplified in the below conversation). This is their first ever blog interview together (hence that little word “exclusive” slipped into the title), so feel spoiled, smile and wave, and try not to pee your pants at their silliness.

    As per usual, my questions and comments are in white. Their responses are in green. Enjoy!

    •  

    (1) Okay, let’s knock off this first question right at the start. *Ahem.* I can’t help but notice how neither of you are ever seen in public at the same time, in the same place. Which leads one to wonder: Are you, Jay and Carolyn, in fact, the same person, just sporting some wicked-awesome disguises?

    JAY: The truth isn’t nearly that interesting. I live in California and Carolyn lives in New York, so being seen together doesn’t happen much. In fact, it’s the times when we are seen together that we sport wicked-awesome disguises. For a writing conference, we (along with author Rachel Vail) dressed as Cupids.

    CAROLYN: The costumes looked cute online before we bought them. But wearing them, we looked très slutty.  I hid behind my shades.

    Wait—are you talking about THESE costumes?!!!

      photo of Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler

    Oh, they are definitely wicked-awesome! (Thanks for the photo, Jay.) In fact…I’m not sure there are enough words. Just…wow. ;o)

    •  

    (2) All right. Let’s see. Um…in a previous interview with Jay, I asked him to name his favorite band, and he responded, “Harmony Alley Carjackers.” When I Googled the band, the first hit was a link to the Backstreet Boys. Do either of you want to comment on that or shall we just leave the world believing Jay is a closet BSB fan?

    JAY: Did you know Backstreet Boys are going on tour with New Kids on the Block. It’s true! (Don’t read anything into that exclamation point.)

    CAROLYN: I had you pegged for an *N SYNC kind of guy.

    JAY: Okay, now you’re just being silly.

    CAROLYN: Harmony Alley Carjackers is a name we came up with when we began writing THE FUTURE OF US. It’s an anagram of both of our names combined.

    JAY: Early on, when no one knew we were writing a book together, we referred to this book as the Harmony Alley Carjackers project.

    CAROLYN: That “band” even makes an appearance in a Facebook status update in our book.

    JAY: And they rock!

    I totally caught that status update in the book! It made me smile. ;o)

    •  

    (3) Speaking of your book, what was the absolute best part of writing “The Future of Us” together?

    JAY: I often had to write late at night so I could finish my section and send it to Carolyn before she woke up, so I wrote a lot of it at a 24-hour donut shop. That was probably the yummiest part of writing the book.

    CAROLYN: Jay and I didn’t know each other when we began writing this book, so I was going to say that getting to know him was the best part of working together…but then he said it was donuts?

    JAY: The donuts had cereal toppings! They even had a Lucky Charms donut. With the rainbow-colored marshmallows!

    CAROLYN: *Ahem.*

    •  

    (4) Er, moving right along… Jay, how do you think Carolyn would finish this sentence:  “The two Harry Potter characters I’d most likely share my stash of dark chocolate with are…”?

    JAY: Hermione and Ron. Carolyn’s a sweet person, so she probably feels bad for those two characters. The two of them went through just as much crazy stuff as their friend, yet the entire series is called Harry Potter. It’s not fair! Sure, HARRY POTTER, HERMIONE GRAINGER, RON WEASLEY AND THE SORCERER’S STONE isn’t as catchy, but at least it’s fair.

    CAROLYN: That’s sweet of you, Jay. I hope I get to finish a sentence about you next.

    •  

    (5) Oh, most definitely, Carolyn. Tell us, how do you think Jay would finish this sentence: “As He-Man, Master of the Universe, by the power of Greyskull, I would…”?

    CAROLYN: Get a new haircut.

    JAY: Did you just make fun of my hair?

    CAROLYN: No, I was making fun of He-Man’s hair. It was a bowl-cut, wasn’t it?

    JAY: Are you sure you weren’t making fun of my hair?

    CAROLYN: No! He-Man had a very silly bowl-cut. He wasn’t balding.

    JAY: *Ahem.*

    •  

    (6) Heheheh… So, you’re both pretty awesome AND famous, which, in my mind, begs the question: Between the two of you, who acts more rabid fan-girlish around the other?

    JAY: Seriously, just knowing that Carolyn and I are both being asked the same question makes my armpits sweat. So it’s definitely me!

    CAROLYN: Gross.  Anyway, I’m the one who asked to write a book with you. So it’s me!

    JAY: The only reason I didn’t ask first is because it would’ve seemed crazy to think you’d even consider writing a book with me. That’s because I’m the rabid fan and you’re the rock star.

    CAROLYN: Uhhhh…

    JAY: So I win? No, you should argue with me some more.

    •  

    (7) Good idea! In fact, let’s do some sort of author cage match fight! But first you have to answer this: Jay, if Carolyn were a superhero, which superpower would she have?

    1. Skin that sparkles in the sunlight and the ability to read (most) people’s minds
    2. Teletubbymorphosis (the ability to morph between human and Teletubby at will)
    3. Telekinesis combined with the ability to jump into the splits at random intervals while throwing hands in the air and yelling “SUPERSTAR!”
    4. Other

    JAY: Teletubbymorphosis. She has two young boys now, but that power will be so useful when they become teenagers. If they ever start getting rowdy, she can say, “If you two don’t calm down right now, I’m going to turn into a Teletubby in front of all your friends!”

    *snickers and begs all that is good and fabulous to see such a thing in action*

    •  

    (8) And, Carolyn, if Jay were a WWE wrestler, what name would he go by?

    1. Jay “Klingon Master” Asher
    2. The Wraith Writer
    3. The Artist Formerly Known as Mighty Mouse
    4. Other

    CAROLYN: Number 4. Jay likes to have inside jokes and not divulge to anyone else what makes them funny, so he’d probably love being introduced as Other, and then he wouldn’t tell them about this interview. He’d make them figure it out for themselves. And when they introduced Other, they’d be blasting Pour Some Sugar On Me.

    *snickers even louder and swears we shall only refer to him as Other from now on*

    •  

    Cage Match (cue Def Leppard): 

    In each of the following combat scenarios, which of you would emerge the victor?

    1.  Spork Fencing

    JAY: Carolyn would win. I’d probably start by using the spoon end to lightly thwap her over and over, just trying to annoy her. Eventually, I’d wear down her tolerance and she’d give me one sharp poke with those little prongs and I would whimper away.

    2.  Old Lady Hurling

    CAROLYN: Jay would win, but I can’t tell you why.

    JAY: It’s an inside joke.

    3.  Polka Sing-off in the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine

    JAY: I don’t think we would compete in this. We’d sing a duet!

    4.  Interpretive Dancing

    CAROLYN: Again, we wouldn’t compete. One of us would start interpretive dancing, then the other one would interpret what the other one interpreted and interpret it some more. It’s just like writing a collaborative novel.

    On that collaborative novel note, what is the exact date “The Future of Us” hits the shelves?

    JAY & CAROLYN: November 21st!!! And you can totally read into those exclamation points.

    We’ll be looking forward to it!

    Thanks to you both for the interview and laughs. You guys rock!

  • Ghost Busting with Jay Asher

    Monday, June 20th, 2011

    There was definitely “something strange in the neighborhood” this weekend (cue Ghostbusters theme song). Something ghostly. Something haunting. Something that looked strikingly similar to the Weber family and Jay Asher family.

    Oh wait. It WAS our families. Playing Ghostbusters.

    Webers and Ashers

    As a kid, I used to spend long, lazy afternoons playing in this old, replicated ghost town. So when Jay had the fun idea that we all get together for an equally long and lazy afternoon to do some ghostbusting at the spooky place, I promptly said, ”I know who we’re gonna call (to obtain permission, since it’s privately owned).”

    Jay, JoanMarie, and adorable little Isaiah brought lunch. It was amazing.

    Not only are the Ashers cool parents, they’re also really funny. Here, JM is making a silly face for Isaiah while Korbin is making a curious face at Jay. And note the crazy deer heads.

    We quickly discovered that, even without ghostbusting gear, Isaiah “ain’t afraid of no ghosts.” His real investigative interests mainly revolved around the crunchy oak leaves and trying to walk.

    My girls’ main investigative interests revolved around everything, everywhere, all at once, without pause. Which is why they were too busy to join in for a quick family photo. But check out that good-looking guy I’m married to.

    One of the awesome moments of the day was when Jay and JM happened to notice that (unbeknownst to me) the fabulously ragged yard-sale-find t-shirt I was wearing was in fact a Twilight / New Moon t-shirt. Um…ahem. 

    To top off the day, we offered to make them lattes. They offered to let us borrow this:

    Obviously, we got the better deal. ;)

  • A Silly Interview with Lauren DeStefano

    Monday, June 6th, 2011

    Meet Lauren DeStefano (pronounced de STEFF ano), author of the YA novel, Wither (which I recently reviewed here). If I didn’t like her sweet personality so much, I’d be sorely tempted to hate her for her gorgeous writing and unstoppable wit. (Seriously, people, Twitter is a funnier universe for her existence on there.) In fact, when I emailed her a note last week asking for an interview, I nearly peed myself laughing at the responses she sent forty minutes later (and, yes, this would’ve been the same time my son pasted duct tape all over his body, for those of you who read my FB post).

    And from that…we have said interview. My questions are in white, her responses are in green. Enjoy. ;o)

    photo for lauren destefano
    (Photo ©2011 Ali Smith alismith.com)

     

    (1) All right, word on the street is you’re a crazy-awesome thrift store shopper. So, picture this with me (in slow motion):  You’re standing in a thrift store, happily browsing your heart out, when you and the sassy old lady across the aisle see the same blouse, at the same time, from the same distance. Do you:

    • (a) fight her to the death for it
    • (b) fake her out by offering a nice pot of tea, then grab the shirt and run
    • (c) realize she’s not an old lady at all but actually a Next Top Model contestant in disguise, so it’s all fair game
    • (d) concede because she reminds you too much of your itty-bitty grandmother

    This depends on whether the sassy old lady is for sale. My garden could always use a new gnome, and it’d be great to have one that wears fancy hats and gripes about politics. 

    Ha! *snickers*

    (2) Okay, another rumor on the street is that you’re a rabid Nintendo DS player. What is, hands-down, the best game ever?

    Animal Crossing.

    Nice.

    (3) So, is it true that your praying mantis, Sarsaparilla, has been trained to type and feel love?

    She can also sign in three languages and is a decent beta reader.

    *raises eyebrow in admiration, followed by a sudden growing suspicion*

    (4) Um…how do I know it’s not Sarsaparilla secretly typing the answers to these interview questions while you sleep?

    How can you ever be sure a preying mantis isn’t secretly chatting with you while the person you think you’re chatting with is asleep?

    Er…good point. *takes a discreet, paranoid peek behind computer*

    (5) Favorite book of all time?

    Um! I get asked this all the time, and I always have a different answer. I’m going to go ahead and say that anything with T.S. Eliot’s name on it would be something I’d dive into a burning building to save.

    (6) Title of the last novel you read?

    Gone, Gone, Gone by Hannah Moskowitz. It comes out in April 2012, so look for it! I’m not just saying this because the author has great hair.

    Hmm…you had me at great hair. I’m there.

    (7) Okay, we kinda have a thing for eating on this blog. It’s more of a hobby, really. So, can you tell us your top three favorite foods?

    1. A raw, quivering block of tofu with some soy sauce for dipping.
    2. Subway veggie sub with chipotle southwest dressing.
    3. Fears and released inhibitions.

    Love it. ;o)

    (8) Who do you think would win in a thumb war contest—Rhine or Gabriel (Wither)?

    Gabriel would let Rhine win, but she’d have it in the bag anyway.

    *gives a quiet cheer for Rhine*

    (9) I love that you used to be a coffee shop barista (an occupation close to my foam-frothing heart). What’s the raddest drink you can make?

    When business was slow, we used to experiment with the syrups to see what types of flavors we could replicate. I never had the skills one of my coworkers had (he could make a creamsicle latte), but I used to put raspberry syrup in the whipped cream cans. Not terribly exciting, I know; my future as a barista wasn’t bright.

    As a former barista, I’m so jealous I never thought to do this. *runs to fridge for whipped cream can while ensuring my kids aren’t watching*

    (10) Last question:  You’re busily working on “The Chemical Garden Trilogy.” Can we ask when to start looking for the next book’s arrival?

    Why yes, yes you can! But it’d be so much better to check out the fun placeholder cover and read the stats on goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11112619-fever. And then when you’re done, you can go to the Chemical Garden website and read a sneak peek of it: http://thechemicalgardenbooks.com/wither/?page_id=102.

    And for more laughter via Lauren DeStefano’s awesome wittiness, you can visit her website.

  • In Which I am the One Being Interviewed

    Thursday, May 5th, 2011

    Did I mention a lovely blogger named Bex invited me for an interview? She did. So I did. And we had fun. Here’s the link if you’re interested:  Kindle Fever

    Oh, and if you happen to get a “content warning” just click through. I suspect it’s due to the wide range of genres she reviews—not because she makes you blush. Nor will I. ;o)

    I hope you like it!

    And how’s your week going, by the way? Anything heavenly we should all be nosing in on? Besides the new Harry Potter trailer, obviously.

  • A Silly Interview with Chuck Sambuchino

    Monday, April 25th, 2011

    Meet Chuck Sambuchino, the guy everyone who’s anyone in the writing/agenting/publishing world has heard of. He’s the editor of the wildly popular “Guide to Literary Agents,” a playwright, cookie connoisseur, and the author of “How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack,” which I reviewed here last week. Plus, he plays in a rock cover band, which is something I think we can all agree is quite cool.

    Last week I begged a silly interview from him. He graciously consented and promptly made me chuckle. Hope you do too. (My comments are in white, his in green.) And if you want to know more about him, visit his “Guide to Literary Agents” blog! 

    Mary:  Alright, so a gift basket overflowing with deliciously awesome chocolate chip cookies mysteriously appears on your doorstep. Do you immediately suspect garden gnomes or the old lady down the street who actually might be a rabid fan girl in disguise?

    Chuck:  Gnomes. They realize my weakness is chocolate chip cookies and often try to exploit that weakness. Gnomes cannot be trusted. They are a wily, sinister bunch of murdering murderers, and they all must be destroyed.

    Mary:  Agreed. Okay, let me toss out another scenario: Sinister alley. Midnight. Three garden gnomes with impressive ninja skills and a sweet ghetto blaster busting out some New Kids on the Block tunes attack you. What are your chances of survival?

    Chuck:  Survival rate: 100%. As a Class-1 Gnome Defense Expert, I am equipped to combat up to 20 gnomes at a time. Only three attack me, you say? Psssh. That’s cake. I don’t even need a weapon. Then, after I have vanquished those little creeps, I will do a Donnie Wahlberg-inspired NKOTB dance over their lifeless bodies. (sing song:) You got the right stuff / Baby / Love it how you turn me on…

    Mary:  Whoa. You kill gnomes AND know the lyrics to NKOTB??? *busts my own little dance move to ward off feelings of inferiority (unfortunately, this ends up looking very much like a one-winged butterfly flapping into oncoming traffic)* Ahem. What’s your favorite book of all time?

    Chuck:  If you combined all the Calvin & Hobbes books and Garfield books into one big book, THAT would be my favorite book of all time.

    Mary:  That would be a brilliant book! *grins* So, tell us the title of the last novel you read.

    Chuck:  I have been on a nonfiction tear recently, so I suppose it would have to be THE HUNGER GAMES, which I read early in 2011. My wife loved the books, so I read one to see what all the hoopla was about. The first book lived up to the hype. I have not read the other two.

    Mary:  Love. Those. Books. Good choice!  Although, to be truly considered for the “awesome” prize on this blog (the prize being that I bake chocolate chip cookies in your honor and then eat them all) you must like food. So, what are your top three favorite foods?

    Chuck:  Chicken fingers. Pizza. Pasta. I drove my mom absolutely batty by not eating any foods growing up. I still have the taste buds of a five-year-old. Whenever my friends would come over during high school and scarf down everything, my mom would make the passive-aggressive comment of “Well! At least your FRIENDS like to eat!”

    Mary:  *snickering*  And do you cook?

    Chuck:  Ha. My idea of cooking is how fast I can drive to Jimmy Johns. My wife cooks occasionally and she makes some delicious platters. Scrumptious, really.

    Mary:  Describe your wife for us in one word.

    Chuck:  MyRock.

    Mary:  Aw, that’s sweet. Okay, I just gotta ask…who would win in an American Gladiators’ contest against garden gnomes—you or your wife?

    Chuck:  Probably me. My wife is a tough gal, but I crush Gnomes like empty soda cans. They all must die.

    Mary:  Rumor has it you’re in a band. Tell us about it. What instrument do you play?

    Chuck:  I’m the guitarist in a Cincinnati rock cover band and I play a little piano here and there. We like playing 90s and modern rock, but have a wide repertoire of 80s and 70s to entertain any crowd. The band is just an excuse to get drunk.

    Mary:  *smirking* Please tell me you do some NKOTB covers…. And is there another book in the works for you? If not, you might consider writing one on how to survive a Twilight rabid-fan-girl attack. I hear they’re on the rise these days. Just a suggestion.

    Chuck:  I have several new books I’m cooking up and I hope to announce a sale one of these months. In the meantime, my good news as of April 2011 is that Sony formally optioned my Gnome book with Robert Zemeckis attached. I grew up on Zemeckis’s movies, such as BACK TO THE FUTURE. So needless to say, when my agent told me this news, I called her a liar and hung up the phone. That’s me. World’s classiest client.

    Mary:  Hahaha. Oh very nice. And congratulations. I look forward to seeing it!

    Thanks for the interview. ;-)

  • There and Back Again

    Monday, April 11th, 2011

    So last week we tossed all three kids in the car along with our suitcases, espresso machine (one can’t properly travel without it), and a mile-high-pile of unread books, and then headed off on a delicious (and much needed) vacation at our favorite cheap spot along Mission Bay in San Diego. I didn’t work. I didn’t teach. I didn’t write. I just played with my family. And obviously I didn’t write a blog post because all you get from me today are photos (hey—don’t roll your eyes at me!).

    Sea World photos

    •  

    I’m proud to say we succeeded at turning our kids into rollercoaster junkies.

    atlantis photo

    •  

    We ate.

    •  

    photo for granny apple fries

    •  

    We did some old-school marriage counseling.

    •  

    We made cotton candy mustaches.

    •  

    We read.

    And then we drove home to wrap up the week at a local pub in SLO listening to some rad bands, including Bonnie Dune. For those of you who are Glee fans, that’s Cory Monteith on the left. And for the Lakes fans, that’s Seth Roberts on the right.

    photo of bonnie dune and cory monteith

     

    So how are YOU guys doing??? What’s your favorite vacation thing to do? And when is your next one?
