I haven’t blogged in ages. (Warning! String of excuses to follow.) I’ve recently gone back to work full-time. Combine that with raising my daughter and trying to finish two books at once, and you’ll see why blogging has been neglected. But this weekend gave me cause to celebrate and so here I am, blogging once more. I pitched both my current novels–the Old & Lost Rivers and Brie and the Robber Baron (book 1 of my middle grade fiction series)–to enthusiastic reception from several agents and one editor. While this is great news for my career, I’m afraid it’s horrible news for my blog. Expect not to hear from me for a month or so as I feverishly polish the books before submission. But send me good vibes!

You may have noticed that I deleted a bunch of posts and it now looks like I haven’t blogged in absolute eons. I’m in the process of setting up a separate blogging site for my YA and MGF that will incorporate a blog of Charlotte going to the Waldorf School and how her journey impacts, well, me and my work. Brie in B&TRB also attends Waldorf, so it’s somewhat relevant but mostly lots of fun. When that site is up and running I’ll post a link here. This will become the site for promoting TO&LR to my women’s fiction audience. ‘Nough said.
