No new content this week. Sorry. Working on a post tentatively titled: Why I wrote a novel for a target audience that doesn’t read…

Tomorrow, Friday, June 20th, I will be volunteering at the Write On! Teen Writer’s Conference. Event is presented by Whatcom Young Writers and Village Books, and co-sponsored by the Fairhaven Village Inn, Whatcom Educational Credit Union, poetrynight, Peoples Bank, and Lithtex NW Printing Solutions. For more information and to register, visit www.writeonconference.com.

Biggest news. Checkout this review from the Referance Library for the September issue of ANALOG. “This is hardly the familiar post-apocalyptic novel of zombie attacks and desperate efforts to rebuild civilization—it’s a very personal story of one scared girl and the survivors she finds in the ruins of her world. Lizzie is hard-edged and gritty, but also vulnerable and kind.  Her personality is so compelling that she grabs you by the heart and pulls you along until it’s three in the morning and the story’s over and you just want to read more.”

And from Amazon, a STORE, I neither love or hate, that sells my books and gives me reasonable payments for them as a retailer should….  Really not sure why it would show up in children’s ebooks, but I won’t complain!

Next week we’re off to ALA14 in Las Vegas, seeing sights, friends, relatives, and then up to Salt Lake City/Provo for some first person novel research for Straight Into Darkness.
