Hanneke de Groot lives!
A friend of this page made this and shared it with me the other day. It's a quote from my novel THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS, where Hanneke the housekeeper gives our heroine Alma the goods on how to endure the suffering and sorrows of life.
Oh, how I loved writing Hanneke de Groot, in all her pragmatic, solid glory!
Grind your cares under your bootheels, my friends, and soldier on.

Rest in peace, Gabriel Garcia Márquez.
I was so saddened to wake this morning to this news. There are writers whom you discover at the most important junctions of your life, who shape and illustrate your imagination just when you most needed nourishment, and for me — in my hungry teens and early twenties — Garcia Márquez was just such a figure.
He's with the immortals now. Or maybe always was.
I'm so honored to be on TIME magazine's list of "The 21 Female Authors You Should Be Reading"!
Check out the line-up:
How many of these writers do you read? I have some favorites on there…

This showed up on a friend's Facebook page the other day and made me burst out laughing. I have owed this exact apology to many, many people during my life.
(And while we are at it, I'm sorry for what I said at 3pm when I really needed a nap, and I'm sorry for what I said at the end of that fourteen hour flight, and I'm sorry for what I said during basically the entire year of 2002 when I was getting that divorce…)

There's girl power…and then there's GIRL POWER!
My friend Nichelle sent me this image today of a 13 year old girl in Mongolia who hunts in the mountains with her eagle.
MYTHIC!
Here's the full story:

It makes me feel better about absolutely everything, knowing that this girl walks the earth.
Onward,
