When you travel on vacation, do you generally disconnect totally from your job or do you make sure to stay in the loop—either a little or a lot? I admire anyone who allows the work world to completely slip away for a period, but on vacation I've always made myself [...]
If you regularly take a look at my newsletter (and thank you if you do!!), you may have heard me say that I'm a hot weather girl, someone who loves summer and dreads the onset of each long, frigid northeastern winter. Maybe it's from growing up in upstate New York, [...]
Thanks to everyone who wrote last month to say how much they liked the cover of my next mystery, Such a Perfect Wife (May '19), after I showed it off in the August newsletter. It was really fun to hear from so many of you and picture you typing a note from [...]
I hope you've enjoyed your summer. Here in the northeast it's been nice but rainy, and probably the most frequent comment I've made to my husband all season is, "Are we going to be able to eat outdoors tonight?" You see, before he became a news anchor, Brad worked as [...]

Did you love the show Sex and the City? I didn't watch every episode but I caught a fair share of them. It was a big hit with Cosmo readers when I was editing the magazine, and we once did a poll with subscribers that included several questions about the show. The answer [...]
Happy New Year! I hope yours is off to a wonderful start. I'm writing from Uruguay, where we live for much of the winter now. There's so much I love about being here but one of the best parts is being able to write my books in my small home [...]
