Can you spot the differences? Maybe you'll win!


Remember that fun game from when you wer a kid, "Spot the Differences?"

Well, the cover for Who I Kissed is undergoing some fun tweaks!

I RESERVED an ARC of WHO I KISSED (they're not done yet) for the first people who tweeted me three differences on this version vs formers.

*** OKAY. I GOT MY TWEETS. I AM GIVING OUT THREE ARCS OF WHO I KISSED!!!!


Hint. You can find older covers on this blog.

Sister Questions....

Oh hello my neglected blog. Can I get you something? A drink? A snack? You've been left all alone out in cyber space with no one to keep you company.

I suck as a blogger. That much is clear. But I have been out and about in the social media world. I spend way too much time on twitter and facebook. True true true.

So things are moving along with WHO I KISSED. I love my publisher Sourcebooks so much and they keep playing with the cover, trying to get it just right. I am gushing over the newest tweaks. Gushing I tell you. I am a fan of white tank tops. I would wear them everyday. Well. With a sweater or blazer now that I'm kind of past the days of having awesome arms. But still. LOVE THEM.  (you can sing the capitalized words in your head or out loud if you'd like)


Another thing. I am looking for a girls to tell me what they LOVE best about having a sister. What they HATE about having a sister. Or. If they don't, why they WISH they had a sister. Call it book research. Because that's what is is.

Anyone want to give a few answers? There is no wrong answer.  Just would like to hear from others.

Thanks and hope March is treating everyone well. I am waiting for winter to end. Bring on SPRING. My favorite season.

Where the heck is Janet?

Disclaimer- This is not really me. Or. Is it??
I'm thinking of me dressed in red and white stripes like Waldo. I'm hiding somewhere. Blending in. It could be a hot yoga class. It's probably in my living room with a laptop on my lap.

You've probably noticed by now that my blogging skills lately. Well. They kind of suck. I want to blog. I like the idea of blogging. But really sometimes I get too lazy busy. I have been busy writing a new book and doing some awesome Write For Hire Books. I have some workshops coming up and frankly, some days I struggle with things to say to the blog world in general. I'm not so much a teacher in my blogs. I have opinions, but I usually keep them to myself. So that really leaves babbling. And really. Do I need to babble at you? I don't think so either.


I'm definitely not going away. I'm on Twitter alot.

 Find me on Twitter

I also still love me some Facebook.

Look! Here I am on Facebook!


You can also email me with burning questions, like what do I love to eat for breakfast more than anything? Or even better questions of your own. My email is listed on my Contact page on my Website.

So I'm still here. I'm just not here. If you get my meaning. Big wink.

Stay in touch baby.
