Tattooed Teardrops Nominated for “In the Margins” Best Books for Teens Award
It’s all there in the title. In February, Ruby, Between the Cracks won the Top Ten Best Books for Teens In the Margins award, and now Tattooed Teardrops has been nominated as well! Can I saw how much I love the folks over there at Library Services for Youth in Custody? Between you and me, they may have asked for review copies of another book as well…

Release of June & Justin!
June & Justin, the eagerly-awaited sequel to the award winning Ruby, Between the Cracks, is now available for purchase! It was on my production schedule for earlier in the year, but I need to remember how long it takes my beta readers and editors to review such a long book. (I have already updated my production schedule for book 3, Michelle, to take that into account…)

Preparing for Camp NaNo
Well, it is that time of year again! Yes, I know, I just finished running my own personal little NaNo in February (along with a few friends who joined me), but the real Camp NaNo runs in April, and I am getting ramped up for my next book. I have set up a private cabin for Camp NaNo this year so that I can invite friends to my cabin. Who wants to join me?

NaNo in February?
It’s sort of like Christmas in July; NaNoWriMo is just too much fun to only do once a year. Or, er, only three times per year… When I made my initial five-year plan for publishing, I decided that I would continue to write three new books per year (writing the first draft for Camp Nano in April, Camp Nano in July and NaNoWriMo in November) as well as working on finishing, rewriting, editing, and revising my backlist for publishing. It was a good plan. But my creative brain starts to itch during the long space between November and April, and my logical brain points out that I have a new writing project planned for Q2, Q3, and Q4, but nothing in Q1, which is rather unbalanced.
