Words about me: writer, mother, blogger, music fan, chocolate lover, film buff, spicy food freak, yoga student, internet cruiser, silly, irreverent, relatively easygoing, chatty, happy, laughs loud and often, in touch with her inner goofy, needs time to dream, inspired by moments rather than marvels ........Over the past ten years I have written over a dozen books (many under a pen name). My latest novel, How NOT to Be Popular (Delacorte, 2008), is about those times in your life when the world seems upside-down. When bad is good, up is down, and deep feelings are wrong ........I would like to reach out to fellow readers, writers, teachers, students, and all-around cool people who enjoy the wacky side of life. Send me a message. Recommend a song, book or movie. Give me tips on how to get my dog to behave ........To find out more about me, you are always invited to hang out at my official website, www.jenniferziegler.net, or visit my author spotlight at www.randomhouse.com. To read a more complete blog, with nifty graphics and photos and zany comments from my friends, stop by http://jenniferziegler.livejournal.com.
