For those of you who have written lovely comments and reviews and placed orders, thank you! If I haven’t returned the favor (yet) it’s not because I don’t want to, but because life is a little nuts right now with my son’s soccer season starting up and my daughter’s show, which I’m costuming, winding down, plus a delightful bout of bronchitis and edits for one of my YA projects for my agent.

I wonder who is in charge of that kind of thing? Maybe worth bringing up on the Goodreads thread, if someone hasn’t already...
Indeed, it drives me CRAZY that you can’t search by genre in here! I mean, I read all genres and am happy to consider pitches by anyone, but it would be nice to connect with those writing similar things to me, even if I don’t make my support exclusive...
I always love the editing process. I think I always learn a lot about myself and my writing, however many books I’ve edited!
