Top Of My Head

Fall roundup . . .

November 25, 2009

I had some wonderful school visits to Chagrin Falls, Ohio and just yesterday to Middletown Ohio. The students, teachers and staff were just amazing at both schools, thanks so much for having me!! Also a great conference in Providence RI, for NEATE. (New England Association of Teachers of English)
Had a light travel schedule this fall which worked out great as I finally finished the draft of my next novel and sent it off to my editor at Disney/Hyperion.
Back to work on the NEXT novel as I await my editor's comments from this one.

Lots of books to write and so little time.

The highlight of this fall I would have to say was my daughter Anaya turning 2!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone!! Check out my Facebook page to see pics of her party!!

Have a happy happy thanksgiving!!
