September became October, and October has become…January…
Bad news: my agent has been laid up with a nasty jaw infection for the last month, so she’s not going to send the novel out to editors until January.
Good news: she doesn’t think it’s going to need anything but some minor rewrites, and once I do those, the ms. will be sent to NY. She’s already got five or six editors expecting the book, so I am, very obviously, sweating hopefully.
That’s the latest update. In the meantime, I’ve begun the first story for Book II: “The Secret of Grisley Swamp.”
I promise not to include the line, “I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it hadn’t a’been for you meddlin’ kids!”
Now what would those medlin kids be doing in the swamp?
Grin and bear the wait. Hope it turns out OhKayPooDee.
Now here’s a challenge!!
How do you make a “musical blog”?
Oh, stop Maria. I can’t concentrate when you are doing that.
See you tomorrow night.
Stop it you wild ……..

Heya
Frankly I think you need a YouTube clip teasing the novel (and editors). Perhaps dressing up the pets as main characters and using a couple puppeteers you know to do the voiceovers?

Every year I suffer from an enormous letdown after Christmas time. Now, after the holiday giddiness has subsided, I will have something really exciting to look forward to — news of the publication of your book! Just hang in there. I sense great things ahead!
