You’re hilarious. I saw your novel in B&N yesterday and thought, hey this looks fun. But then I realized the checkout line was long, I was running late to pick up my kid, and so on, and so on. Today, I happen to see this post in Writer’s Digest. It’s a sign — I’m going back to get the book now! I will always support a sister-in-toilet-paper-mishaps.

Hi Reginald,
I’m so glad you reached out. I will write a bigger post about this soon. But in the meantime hear my words: WRITING IS HARD. There are good days and bad days. Lots and lots of bad days. Write anyway. Don’t judge yourself, just keep going. The more you write the better you get. My writing motto: Commit to Sh*t. Just keep going and trust your future self to be able to edit it and improve it when the time comes.

And your status as a writer? If you’re writing, you’re a writer. It’s that simple.

In reply to Xya or X. Hi X, I'm sorry, I will not be writing another Monster High book. I have a new novel that just came out last week. The Dirty Book Club. I hope you like that one.

In reply to Susan. Thank you, Susan. I might marry my two worlds and write one about the Clique girls as adults.

Just about done with “The Dirty Book Club” and want to know if there’ll be more about the gals. I picked the book off the shelf at the library on a whim – not knowing you were a YA author. Sure surprised me when I saw your bio on Wikepedia.

Don’t stop writing “adult” novels. Remember, those young girls you’ve been writing for now will grow up and need good books to read later.

Hi! Thanks for your interest. The TV show is at a very early stage but my idea is for Massie to seek a new PC member to update their “brand” after returning to Westchester from London. I’m developing a new character based on myself & my friend. She’s an artsy, independent black girl who brings new flavors to Westchester that Massie couldn’t possibly understand, let alone compete with – but she attempts to. The PC tries to recruit this new girl but she refuses to accept beta status, meaning Massie meets her match. She’ll have to either defeat the new girl or befriend her without trying to control her. The new girl isn’t scared to fistfight either so it’s totally new territory for Massie.

So far I’m loving the new book! I haven’t read too far into it due to grad school and work, but it’s great! I’ve missed your writing so much! I feel like I’m putting on an old sweatshirt, but instead of wearing it with my 2006 gauchos that were an absolute nightmare, I’m wearing it with leggings. I’m still comfy as hell, just a bit more stylish.

Hope release week is going great for you!!!

Hi, Lisi!

You know, a great way to solve this problem is with your Clique sequel idea. It’s familiar but new. A more adult Massie is a gift the world doesn’t know it needs yet! I’ve written a roughly 3-page intro script for a TV show or movie spinoff but maybe you’d prefer to stick to books. Either way, I’m happy to help. What is the best email/anything to send my spinoff idea to more privately? I’d be honored to assist you in any way. Even if it’s just getting coffee 🙂

Much love
