Lovely readers!


It's so great to hear from all of you who are reading Splendor-- of course I want everyone who reads one of my books to love them and feel like every choice I make about plot or character is natural and perfect and right. But that would be impossible, and to have readers who feel passionately about words I have written, whether they agree or disagree, is a tremendous honor. Even if they are angry or sad-- to have readers who care enough to be angry or sad is wonderful.


But I...

At long last, I can finally share Splendor with you. The new beginnings, the shocking revelations, and the very unexpected ending are now yours to enjoy between the covers of this fourth and final Luxe novel. Will it really be the final Luxe novel? Never say never. But for now, I hope it feels like a satisfying ending to what has been an incredible journey for Elizabeth, Diana, Penelope, and me. I love sharing this series with all of you—it's more ours than mine. So, tell me, have there been ...

Hello lovelies,

I ran into a friend the other night--a guy, which makes this story extra amusing--and he told me he took some "Which Luxe Girl Are You?" quiz on the site, and that it told him he was an Elizabeth. Which is a little silly, and I love the idea that a boy would fit the Elizabeth archetype; but it also reminded me that one of the most gratifying things you hear as an author is that a reader has seen something of themselves in your characters. It's one of the best things fiction...

Hello lovelies,

I am so excited because just yesterday I got my first finished copy of Splendor. It looks beautiful, and the dress on the cover is just iridescent and heaping and flowing, and the girl is mysterious and gorgeous. This is always a really satisfying moment for a writer, not just because you get to see your words in pretty font, and bound with a cover and all that, but also because it is proof that all this time you have spent alone in your pajamas in your bedroom alone has been f...

Hey ladies,

Thank you all for your kind wishes for my scary public appearance! It was actually really fun, and we got to discuss LOVE, always a favorite topic. There was a subtext about love versus longing, too, which was interesting-- because of course so much of the violent emotions we are talking about when we talk about love are in fact desire for some unrequited something from the object of our affections. Certainly that's the way it is in The Luxe, and that love at a distance is where...

Hey ladies,
I am appearing with a couple of other YA authors at the Brooklyn Book Festival and also speaking on the topic of Love and Longing, so I was going through the first Luxe book, trying to find a passage well-suited to that theme. I think I am going to read from the part where Diana and Henry first meet, but anyway, the point is that it was so strange to look over that bit again. I wrote it so long ago, and these characters were so much less acquainted with each other than they are...

Hello lovelies,

It's so nice to hear from you all again! I can't wait to see what you have to say about Splendor, and now I kind of wish it was coming out sooner, too, so we could talk about it...


But in the meantime, there is lots of work to be done. I'm sure many of you are getting ready to start school, and me, I'm trying to get going on a new series for young readers. Most things are hard at first, and there is plenty of frustration in my little bedroom writing space these days, but...
