I love the parenting host of ABC News Now, Annie Pleshette Murphy. She’s really in touch with what’s happening on the YA scene and had some good questions during our interview about BOYOLOGY. One of the recurring questions I’m getting from TV anchors and radio hosts is, “So how different IS it being a teenager [...]
Some of my favorite blogs have reviewed How to Raise Your Parents (thanks to all you bloggers who read the book!). Here are the latest new reviews: The Reading Zone - How to Raise Your Parents: A Teen Girl’s Survival Guide by Sarah O’Leary Burningham was a nice break from the fiction I have been reading [...]
I've done over 50 radio interviews for my book launch and a few have been really super fun. I thought I'd post them here in case you have some time on your hands and want to listen to me rambling about my book, why I like teenagers, and why parents and teens aren't as different [...]
I’m terrible at most video games, although I have to say I totally rock Guitar Hero. I can’t get enough of that. My sister has Rock Band and since we don’t live in the same city, I haven’t played yet, but I can’t wait to get my hands on those drumsticks. There’s a new book [...]

Not because I don’t think teenagers have secrets, but because usually a headline this is an attempt to dramatize the bad decisions of a few teenagers and makes parents panics that their totally [...]
I have settled back home after being out on the road for 2 weeks. It’s great to be back home sleeping in my bed and waking up at a decent hour, but I kind of miss being out doing events and meeting people. So, I thought I would share some highlights from a few cities [...]
While I was on book tour, I got to speak to a bunch of high school and junior high students in all different cities about how to deal with their parents. Let me just say, these were by far the best events I did. The teenagers had the best questions and we had really good [...]
One of my favorite things about my husband is the fact that he can find anything online. And I mean anything. Like the time he saw Cinderella Man and within 20 minutes of getting home, had researched the complete history of the guy Russell Crowe’s character is based on. And the best part is that [...]
I love super-creative YouTube videos and this one, featuring writer/performance artist Miranda July, is bizarrely captivating. (A lot of people have a love-hate relationship with Miranda July but after this video I’m more inclined to love.) She moves her body, doing a pose a second, to a new Blonde Redhead song. But the best part [...]
I’m out on the road, in Salt Lake City right now, and I leave for Seattle early tomorrow morning. It’s been a total whirlwind so far and I’m loving every second of it. My first tour event was in Dayton, Ohio, at Books & Co. – a famously rocking bookstore for hosting great events and [...]
