Happy Thanksgiving

The Best Books of 2013

Thank you dear Kirkus for giving me a list of books to buy (for myself) this holiday season. I am especially looking forward to: 

And yes, the list IS in a special order. A very special super secret order that has great significance.

(Ok, not really)

It's A Done Deal!

It is official - I signed my contract with Sterling last week! I wanted to get a picture of myself at the Fed Ex place when I sent it back, but I was afraid the employees would think I was insane. Not everybody understands us creative people.

A big mushy thanks to my uber agent Kathleen Rushall and many, many thanks also to my editor at Sterling.
