I'm baaaaaack!

And I have lots to blog about.

The weekend of October 15-16, I attended Southern Breeze's WIK conference down in Birmingham.  Met lots of nice folks, reconnected with others, and learned a lot.  A special thank you to Lisa Yee and her writing excercises.  Loved them!

Waiting on an afterward from a local archivist for Huntsville, 1892 Clara. Then, it's off to the press for my novel!  Not the final printing.  I'm getting ARCs!  Want one?  :P  And when some nice people provide some nice blurbs, then the book goes off for a final printing.  Hurray!  The end is in sight!

And so is the beginning.... I AM NOW UNDER CONTRACT FOR A SECOND ALABAMA GIRL NOVEL!!!!!!!!

Yep.  Birmingham, 1933 Alice is being written as I type. Well, not really, because I can't type a blog and a novel at the same time.  Anyway...  More details to follow.

Met the librarian of Lacey's Spring Elementary school.  She wants me to visit her kids and tell them all about Clara.  Imagine that!  I have a school visit before I have a book in hand!  I'll get to see them all in March if everything goes as planned.

In the meanwhile, life goes on and so do I.  Can't wait to share more of my journey with you.
