Quick one

Just a quickie today… Malice was great, and I’ve already signed up for next year! But I’m back to the computer again already, of course…

I’m charging ahead on Wolf in Chic Clothing (the title of which, alas, must change), and have already had a few great conversations with my editor at Ballantine, Allison Dickens. (I suspect we’re going to get along famously.) And yesterday, I finished the rewrite of Dead and Berried… all I have to do is type in my recipes, and it’s good to go! Since it’s due Monday, I’d better hurry. Speaking of the Gray Whale Inn, my editor at Midnight Ink, Barbara Moore, just gave me an idea of what the next cover will look like… same cover artist, and I cannot wait to see it! (I love the cover of Murder on the Rocks so much, I’m planning on framing it and hanging it in my living room.) I can’t tell you too much about the new one yet, but I promise I’ll post it as soon as I have it.

And I just found out that Murder is the July read for the fabulous new Regional Mysteries group on Yahoo. I was blown away! I’ll be leading off a discussion in July…

Anyway, I have to run. We’re off to go camping, which means rain (in the form of major thunderstorms) is in the forecast. If you’re ever having a drought, ask me to plan a big camping trip in your area. And if it doesn’t rain, I’m sure someone will throw up all over me at 4:00 in the morning. Or cut his hand open with an axe (I won’t mention any names).

I’ll be back soon. Provided I survive this weekend.
