I am in the throes of getting three books ready for publication and feeling a little like a crazy person! A Free Woman on God's Earth is almost ready to be born!
The Adventures of Charlie and Moon, by my friend Martin is starting to take off and The Twelfth Stone is almost ready for typesetting. Then there's Jasmine who is just at the beginning stages.
So, aaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
But, I'm having so much fun with all of it, that I had better not complain!

I am really excited because I will be at Mt. Everett Regional High School in Sheffield, MA this Friday, May 1 to talk with students about my novel. Then I will be at Norwich Technical High School in Norwich, C T on the 15th of May talking with those students and I'll be at Monument Mountain High School, in Great Barrington some time in May as well. All these schools have taken Weeping Under This Same Moon as part of their curriculum.

Not only that, but Melody Lea Lamb is going to be working with me on a book about an incredible dog from Warwickshire, England, named Jasmine. More about that later!
