I owe Jack Harlow an apology.

I was reading through some early reviews for THE NEXT BIG THING when I came across one that called it cringey that I`d named my main character Jack Harlow. I assumed that reviewer had an ex by that name and moved on with my life.

Then I saw another review mention it.

So I asked my kids. They laughed at me. Full-on, delighted-by-my-ignorance laughter. It turns out that Jack Harlow is a musician. A very famous musician. I did not know this, because apparently I am old and out of touch.

In my defense, I wrote this book two years ago. I turned it into my publisher a year and a half ago. I have absolutely no idea when this man became famous, but I assure you that my Jack Harlow is both very charming and entirely fictional.

So. Jack Harlow (the actual one) — you have a perfectly lovely, respectable name. Which is exactly why I gave it to my hero to begin with. THE NEXT BIG THING is not about you.

But if you`re looking for a fun romance where your hot namesake gets the girl? I`ve got you covered.

I accomplished a miracle this weekend. Mr. Scoggins and I took our three teenagers into the woods for our annual "put your cell phones away, you heathens" camping trip.

We remembered the hot dogs, hiking boots, and sleeping bags, but I forgot the most important thing. The ingredients for s`mores.

Oh, well.At least I had a hidden stash of Oreos.

I suffer through the sneezes and the itchy, red eyes every spring just so I can stuff my face directly into the cherry blossoms in my front yard. Pollen is gross, and it makes a mess of everything for weeks, but it sure does make some pretty flowers.

Also ... how swoony is this Pablo Neruda quote?

He`s a bad boy chef. She can`t cook to save her life.

Sparks are going to fly, both in and out of the kitchen.

April 21st can`t get here fast enough.

Welcome to the South, where one day it looks like spring is coming soon, and the next it looks like the entire outdoors got shaken up inside a Doritos bag.

Has anybody seen my Benadryl?
