My Favorite Holiday Movies

Posted at Dec 23, 2015 1:52 pm

Like many of you, I have favorite holiday movies I watch every year no matter what. I love to sing along, quote along, and cry along with my favorite actors. And sometimes I desperately want to rewrite certain scenes (I’m looking at you, Laura Linney. Ignore your freaking phone already!)

Super Nanny Saves Christmas

A short story by Lisa Brown Roberts

 

“Yay Trina!! It’s Christmas, Christmas, CHRISTMAS!”

There’s nothing like the scream of a five-year-old she-devil to get a person moving on a sleepy holiday vacation day.

Freaky Friday – Teen Angst Poetry

Posted at Nov 13, 2015 10:41 am

I recently came across a treasure trove of primary source YA material: my teenage journals. These babies are chock full of drama, angst, and a whole lotta unrequited love. In the interests of research, I’ve been reading them, and when I’m not cringing, I’m laughing- a lot.

I’m so excited to share this book with you because I had so much fun writing Trina and Slade’s story. I love romantic comedies, and writing this one was more fun than binge-watching Downey and Depp and Cumberbatch, while simultaneously scarfing Chocolove chocolate bars. Really.

Thank you to Entangled Publishing for

Over Memorial Day weekend, my family and I attended our fourth annual Denver Comic Con. It’s become our summer kick-off event, even when the weather is rainy and cold.

Stonehenge Replicas in How (not) to Fall in Love

I’ve heard from some readers asking me about the “clonehenges” mentioned in the book, so I thought I’d share some info about them.

Some of the replicas mentioned in the book are real, others are figments of my imagination. Though I made up the
