So, now that my book is officially out there, I definitely need to be more diligent about posting. Especially if great Fridays like last Friday become a trend!
Thanks to the5randoms, YA authors and super-bloggers, for posting this interview with me on Friday.
Meanwhile, this review was published in Salt Lake newspaper City Weekly. I was so [...]
So, my birthday was on Tuesday, and can I just say how much it rocked? I seriously loved this birthday.
Besides getting a ton of cool gifts (including but not limited to this) I also got my author copies of THE WAY HE LIVED. Not only did this mean I could revel in the book’s shiny-covered, [...]
It’s that time again: The fourth season of Dawson’s Creek is on TBS.
It’s always been my favorite season of Dawson’s Creek. For me, that year was the show’s Golden Age.
Everything came together that year—the writing was quick, the soundtrack was awesome, the characters were at their best-looking. Not to mention the gorgeous shots of [...]
Thank you to reviewer, blogger, and all-around book brainiac Little Willow for alerting me to this issue and getting me the permission to repost this piece from Lorie Ann Grover (I wanted to the same thing with Little Willow’s name that she did with Lori Anne’s—you know, where you click on it and it links [...]

This means that I have to travel six miles to [...]
What better way to celebrate both Marquee Monday and my recent family vacation than with a nod to our 50th state?
On the Big Island of Hawaii, fields of black lava rock fringe the “highway” (often a two-lane road with max speeds of 35 mph). To shake up this sometimes barren landscape, people will write [...]
Did you ever see that ‘80’s sitcom about the girl raised by two single men, each of whom might be her biological father? I was pretty young when the show was on, so I don’t think I was ever clear on the logistics of their living arrangement, or how/why each man was so certain the [...]
I snagged this marquee picture back when I was on vacation in idyllic Claremont, CA. This was pre-immobilizing-sunburn, pre-father-in-law-health-crisis, pre–well, pre-MAY. Not to dis May. I love May. I even love this May (although I’ve spent the better portion of it in bed). It’s just that [...]
It’s back, and it’s better than ever!
The bad news: my father-in-law, Brent (almost as awesome as my mother-in-law, Yoriko) has cancer.
The good news:he is expected to fully recover.
The other good news: while on our way to visit him in a Murray, UT hospital I spotted this primo marquee.
I hope David A. takes full advantage of [...]
Some of you have asked: Where are the pictures of Emily on this site? Now there are three, yes three, pictures of me. Just click the “About” link and behold.
