About the Author
I’m the author or co-author of more than forty nonfiction books and novels. My favorite novel is always the one I’m working on now. But A Certain Kind of Magic is the first novel I wrote where I finally felt like I knew what I was doing. The Wanderer is my most ambitious and probably the closest to my heart. The Mage of Motor Avenue is the first coming-of-age story I’ve ever written and I adore it.
My most popular nonfiction work is the award-winning Dojo Wisdom. My favorite is my memoir, The Improbable Adventures of a Middle-Aged Woman. See my Bookhoard list for more information.
My books have been published by Simon & Schuster, Penguin Putnam, Thomas & Mercer, and Montlake Romance, among others.
My essays have appeared in Family Circle, Minnesota Monthly, Neurology Now, and several Chicken Soup for the Soul anthologies. My most famous essay is “For Jessica,” about which I’ve written more below.
I work as a book development editor and teach editors how to edit through classes offered by Club Ed (a business for editors that I established). I also work with authors as an editor and coach.

When people say, “I read your story,” I never ask “Which story?” because I always know this is the one they mean:
