Too busy to blog!
Work has been very busy! But I do see the light at the end of the tunnel – to use a horrible cliche. Within the last month, I’ve had 4 final sign-offs with authors. That means 4 less books to work on. I’ve not taken on any new authors, so my list right now is around 11 authors. Not bad, since all of them are in varying stages of the publication process. On my own personal writing, my lovely and brillant agent, Christine Witthohn, pitched my women’s fiction novel, A Life Unraveled, to several editors while she was at the Women’s Fiction Festival in Italy last month. All of them requested a FULL. I say, “Awesome!” We are bu

Why I’m glad I have boys
Have you seen this? I mean, come on. A pole dancing doll? Seriously? I’m not sure that it’s any better than the bazillions of “guns” out there for boys, but please. What’s next? The “Dick” doll who shoves dollar bills in the Pole Dancing doll’s panties? Geez. Kris

Plugging along
Summer is winding down, and it’s unbelievable that’s it’s almost time for the kids to go back to school. The laws have changed in Michigan; school used to start before Labor Day, but now it must start after Labor Day. I’m not sure why this change happened. I’ve not heard back from my agent as to if there’s been any response to the partial she submitted a couple of weeks ago. I’m planning on finishing it this week while N is in a hockey training camp in the event that a publisher is indeed interested. That would be awesome. I’ve been spending some time on Twitter lately. It’s such a strange tool – letting

In desperate need to update my website/blog
Since I’m taking the leap and really getting into my middle-grade fantasy novel, I’ve been thinking about tweaking my website/blog. It certainly won’t work in its current state if any of the publishers that my agent subbed the ms to are interested. Flowers and the words “women’s fiction” all of over will be a big turn-off! I’m also thinking about creating a Twitter account for my main character of said MG manuscript. I think it would be great fun. But my question is, do I do it before I have a book contract or after? I should’ve asked this question during the #kidlitchat on Twitter tonight. Anyone know of a good web
