This week has been a bit hectic, both at the day job and the run-up to NaNoWriMo and of course, Halloween. My neighborhood gets approximately eighty-thousand trick-or-treaters so it’s an event that must be planned for and executed.

Anyway, I meant to do a What’s Up Wednesday but yesterday just got away from me. Really, there’s not a huge amount to report but here are the highlights:

• Still waiting on pins and needles for word about the next book. It’s been a busy month for my editor with two Cons and an office move, so I’m trying not to bug her but I really want this book to be a go. I love, love, love my main girl and her ghostly sidekick.

• ARC’s for DREAMER are now circulating among the book bloggers and conference attendees, and several have reached out to tell me how amazing they thought it was (yay!) and that it finished out the series beautifully. So that’s a happy. A big, big happy.

• My NaNoWriMo project is not YA but Chick-Lit, but that didn’t stop me from getting a terrific idea for another YA book day before yesterday and sketching out an outline. Because I’m nuts like that.

• I’m posting a NaNoWriMo tip every day at noon on Twitter this month, gleaned from my vast stockpile of saved links and articles. Check it out!

And that, my friends, is all the news that’s fit to print. Stay tuned because next week I’m throwing out a juicy DREAMER excerpt!!
