What makes it real?

I So Don't Do Famous, the fourth mystery in the "i so don't do" series, comes out on May 10.

So, Sherry will be out and about in the real world in eighteen short days. This time, she's busting up a burglary ring in Hollywood. It was a fun book to research (3 trips to Hollywood!) and write. Uberfun! I love this book.

It's hard to believe that Famous' release is almost here.


Here's how I know it's really happening....

A hot-off-the-presses copy arrives from my editor. Wrapped in ribbon. Complete with a love note.



Apparently, it's real for Child #4 too!

Looking forward to seeing you in stores on May 10, Sherry!

Oh, and Child #4 picked the winner for the I SO DON'T DO MAKEUP paperback contest. Congratulations, Olivia!! My people will email your people for an address. Happy Reading! Thanks to everyone who entered.
