NOTE: I'll be away in late May and early June 2012. My family will be home, so someone will bring in the mail, but there will be a delay in registering your postcards. Please don't worry. I'll do them as soon as I return!

I write fiction and nonfiction books, mostly for teens and children. In particular, I'm a recovering Sweet Valley High author. But the last book I wrote was about dragons. Now I'm working on a science fiction novel for adults.
I live near Washington, D.C., with my husband and 10-year-old son, and I LOVE to travel. Usually that means road trips around the U.S.; I have been to all 50 U.S. states. But I love overseas travel when I can manage it, and I plan to visit Italy in spring 2012.
I read constantly: science fiction, fantasy, history, biography, teen fiction, literary fiction, and more. In books, movies, and TV, I'm a fan of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, various Star Treks, and Stargate SG1.
IF YOU'RE IN TURKEY, SPAIN, or KOREA: Those 3 countries will be featured at International Night at my son's school, and I'm hoping to display many postcards from each. If you're from one of those countries, please choose a card that shows an important site there (prefer single view) and write a message that tells something interesting about your country. These cards should be suitable for kids ages 5-11. I'd be happy to do private swaps for cards from those countries, too!
FOR EVERYONE ELSE: I especially love cards of intriguing places where you live or have visited, including those that show architecture (especially castles, gargoyles, and anything with onion domes), ruins or other historical sites, or geology. I'd love cards of Stonehenge, the Petronas Towers, the aurora borealis, or the Great Wall of China. I also like cards of the "beautiful girls" Chinese calendar pictures of the early 20th century. I like art cards, pop culture images, old movie stills, and anything about books. Weird is good, too! And please tell me something about yourself, your country, or your town.
I generally scan my outgoing cards and upload the images before sending. And I scan and register incoming cards within a day of receiving them, unless I'm out of town.
IF YOU RECEIVE A POSTCARD FROM ME:
The U.S. Post Office may put a long, narrow sticker across the bottom. You can peel it off; it removes easily.
