1. The June/July issue of The 4:00 Book Hook will be coming out next Friday, and I think it's looking good. We've got a piece from our wonderful LJ friend ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1){kind=small}
jbknowles, a really interesting interview with first-time author Michelle Cuevas, and all about picture book animals from Toni Buzzeo; and we've got the best giveaways we've ever had, with three chances to win! Wait until you see, and be sure to enter. If you aren't a subscriber, please email us at [email protected]
2. I woke up at 5 a.m. and was unable to get back to sleep. I passed the time writing a new picture book in my head, all about dinosaurs, which is a new topic for me. It was funnier when I was half-asleep than it was when I typed it out a little bit ago, but that can and will be rectified.
3. VAMPIRINA BALLERINA got its (her?) first review yesterday, a very happy-making one from School Library Journal. Eep. An excerpt is posted on my website. GO HERE TO CHECK IT OUT. Thank you, SLJ!
ETA: I received an advance copy of the book today. It. Has. Glitter.
4. I have until next Friday to complete this draft of my work-in-progress, a middle-grade novel. Yes, this is the novel I was going to finish by Labor Day last year. I do hate that I write slowly, but it seems to be my process, so I just need to persevere. It will not be close to done, but Agent Linda wants to see it, and I feel ready for her input. So write on, AM. You've got eight days.
5. Happy for fellow swim team parent John Milliken Thompson, whose novel THE RESERVOIR has made the Summer 2012 IndieNext list (yes, I know people who write for adults, too.). While wrangling swimmers poolside, we used to talk about our writing dreams. Now we're seeing some results. It's kinda nice. :)
