I’m on a social networking site for personal reasons (it’s not Facebook or MySpace). I’ve got a lot of personal friends on there, many of whom I don’t keep up with in any other way. But I don’t mind letting people know that I’m a children’s book editor because it’s fun to point people in … Read more

Also, book recommendations
I think I’ve nearly exhausted the Seattle Public Library’s YA audiobook collection. I just realized today that it’s been a couple months since I listened to an audiobook on my commute. I made this realization because the commute has gotten reeeeally boring lately. I need reading material. So give me reading recommendations. I should be … Read more
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat
…please to put a penny in the old man’s hat. If you haven’t got a penny, a ha’penny will do… Oh, hi! I can’t get Miss Piggy singing that out of my head. So we’ve decorated the house in a style to which I think even my Grandma Nelle would be proud. Wreath on front door, lights everywhere, tree in front … Read more

I just shepherded two first revisions out the door, as well as proofreading the galley of one book and on to reading the revision of another. With several more waiting in the wings. Despite all the deadline-oriented stuff, I also … Read more
Please excuse the dust

Drive-by posting
Very, very busy week this week and last! Just a quick stop-by to remind everyone in the Seattle area that if you didn’t get the chance to see Hallowmere author Tiffany Trent this morning at Washington Middle School for the Teen Read Week kickoff, make sure to head over to the Northgate Barnes and Noble … Read more
