« My Monday Morning Inspiration | Main | Huh »

My father has made a request that I bump Susan Boyle from the top spot on the blog page. And since I am nothing if not a dutiful daughter, here’s my bump post.

Summer has arrived in Florida. It’s freaking hot out. I took Sam to the playground after school, and after running around in the sun for an hour, he’s now dehydrated and cranky. I bribed him with a movie (he chose Sword in the Stone, which I’ve come to regard as the dullest of all the Disney movies), to gain five minutes of blogging peace. I’m now hiding in my office with an ice cold dirty martini.

So here's the update: nothing much is happening with me. We’re in the end-of-the-school year push here. Sam’s excited to leave pre-k behind and graduate to kindergarten – insert my heart breaking here – and I’m trying to get as much writing done as possible while school is still in session. I’m currently writing the next book in my young adult Geek High series (which I publish under my pseudonym, Piper Banks).

My only other big news is that my next adult book is done! It's off my desk, and in my editor’s hands! It’s not coming out until Summer 2010, but I can honestly say it’s my favorite book to date. Normally, by this point in the writing process, I’m so sick of the book, I’m ready to torch the manuscript, Misery-style. But this one’s different . . . this one I’m still in love with. So hopefully, my readers out there will find it worth the wait.
