Friday the 13th with Sarah Mlynowski...

This weekend at Joseph-Beth, I caught Sarah Mlynowski's book tour promoting Frogs & French Kisses, the second title in her humorous trilogy about a teenager whose mother and little sister are witches. It's such fun seeing teen girls interact with authors. (One in the audience was working on her own novel.) Sarah passed around an outline and an edited manuscript and talked a lot about writing. She also read a delightful passage from her new novel. (And I have added two more books on the stack on my nightstand.)

Sarah, along with former Red Dress Ink/current HarperCollins editor Farrin Jacobs, wrote See Jane Write: A Girl's Guide to Writing Chick Lit. This wonderful book has substance but it's also fun and good looking--just what every girl wants. I really wish Writer's Digest Books would have published it.
