That has been the message the past SEVERAL times I tried to log on to my account to update my posts. I have incurred a great deal of traffic (well, great for me) and I have been mortified that my most recent post was from January.
Trust that I planned to post many notes since then but all in vain, as I could not access my page. Success now and I am happy to report I have enjoyed several activities on the writer’s front since my last message.
Two weeks ago, I pushed ‘send’ on my MS for Melanie Jeffs, my editor at Orca. My third book in the Orca Currents is ready for her editorial comments and will be published in the Spring of 2016. Being the first time I had a ‘yes’ before I finished the book, I have now spent two weeks with anxiety as I wait to hear her thoughts. I had a hard time keeping my secondary character from hi-jacking the story! Toby was great fun to write and I hope this book surprises and delights the audience.
I am going to push ‘send’ this evening on another hi-lo YA book for Kat, the editor at Lorimer. If it meets with her approval, we will begin edits and this book could be on store shelves by Spring 2016, as well.
Last quick updates: I enjoyed participating once again in the CV2-2 Day Poem Contest. This year, ham and appliances were the two words that I struggled with as I finished a poem in 48 hours! Stay tuned for updates (particularly for those of you who like the opportunity to vote on your favourite selections). I also had a great time ‘hanging out’ and supporting our local Independent Book Store as part of ‘Authors for Indies’ Day! Thanks, Black Bond Books (Semiahmoo Mall, South Surrey, BC) for letting me visit for a few hours. Even bought two books!
