About meI write THE DEBS young adult series for Random House, which debuted in August of 2008 with, yep, THE DEBS. LOVE, LIES, AND TEXAS DIPS came out on June 9, 2009, and GLOVES OFF will be released in March of 2010. The books feature four privileged prep schoolers from Houston, Texas (my old hometown), as they claw their way through senior year and their debutante season. I've also written five Debutante Dropout Mysteries for Avon, including BLUE BLOOD and TOO PRETTY TO DIE. On January 26, 2010, THE COUGAR CLUB will hit the shelves in trade paperback from Avon A. It's a mainstream women's novel about three successful forty-something friends in St. Louis who happen to date younger men. Next up, a fourth YA novel for Random House that is not a Debs book! Life sure is interesting!

About my libraryI read mostly fiction, from YA to literary novels to mystery/suspense. I love discovering new authors (at least, those new to me!). So if you ever have some recommendations in those categories, please spill.

Nature the gentlest mother is

NATURE the gentlest mother is,
Impatient of no child,
The feeblest of the waywardest.
Her admonition mild

In forest and the hill
By traveller be heard,
Restraining rampant squirrel
Or too impetuous bird.

How fair her conversation
A summer afternoon,
Her household her assembly;
And when the sun go down,

Her voice among the aisles
Incite the timid prayer
Of the minutest cricket,
The most unworthy flower.

When all the children sleep,
She turns as long away
As will suffice tolight her lamps,
Then bending from the sky

With infinite affection
An infiniter care,
Her golden finger on her lip,
Wills silence everywhere.
