Louise's BLOG
is on
Fairy Tales Have Grown Up!
Black Pearls, a Faerie Strand,
new from Houghton Mifflin, is a book with a difference:
"In these beautifully written, sometimes harsh retellings, Cinderella craves the deaths of her wicked stepmother and stepsisters; Rapunzel is actually Rampion, the deceptive daughter of a kindly witch; and Erin, one of the seven dwarfs, falls in love with Snow White...Twisted, clever, and artfully written!”

A Week of
Writing, Sun, and Lobster
For three years, Louise has traveled north to work with a small group of serious writers in a quaint restored home (the Hershey Retreat) overlooking Penobscot Bay on Sandy Point, Maine. There are workshops during the afternoon, and leisurely summer evenings for writing and talking -- a recipe for literary success and delicious memories. This year's session is being held June 7 through 14. Don't miss it!

Focusing on Form Can Change
Your Life
Thirty or so talented writers, six gifted instructors, and five days of community! This annual tradition at Meredith College in Raleigh can change your writing life, so if you're interested in fiction, non-fiction, memoir or poetry, be sure to register early. (Participation is limited.) Fiction classes with Louise, and the other exciting workshops, run the last full week of each June. Sessions feature mini craft lectures, critiques, and some straightforward discussions of marketing. But mostly, we write, write, write! Click the link below to find out more:

Now in Paper Back
The Vanishing Point, a New York Public Library Best Book for the Teenage, a Bank Street College Pick, and an Independent Book-sellers' Choice, is now available in a paper back edition! "The vivid period details," says Publishers' Weekly, "add authenticity to a story that's a pleasing mix of drama, history and, yes, romance. Lavinia's first kiss may well leave readers swooning, while her obsession with painting feels authentic." Order your copy today by clicking on this site's Books link or order right now from
