So this is the cover for my new book, coming out in March, 2012. I am
more excited and nervous about this one than I have been with any of my
previous books, adult romances included.
I've put so much
of everything that's important to me into this book and it was the
hardest one I've ever written. For one, I wrote it during some of
the toughest times Life has thrown my way, so far, as an adult. Finding the
time, motivation, focus, and energy to write was often a mighty
challenge in itself. And I've lost count of how many times I revised
this novel from the ground up. I revised with an agent and two editors
-- I'm talking tear-down-the-walls, clear-the-nether-regions,
blast-through-rock revisions.
This book is my Little Engine That Could. It's
the mountain I climbed because I loved it and because I
wanted to see the view from its summit. I still haven't seen the view.
I'm waiting for you to read it to complete the picture :).
ARCs should be available late December/early January. If you'd like a review copy, please email me and I'll put you on the list.

Salon Article on White-Washing
Great article on salon.com about the Magic Under Glass controversy (a historical YA by Jaclyn Dolamore), featuring quotes from our own Ari of Reading In Color. Glad Salon took up the issue.
I feel for the author--her first book, no less--who is the one caught in the middle of all this. I remember that feeling of getting an offer after so many rejections, so many years of slogging, and thinking, "YES, finally!" Only to be mired in something like this? Ugh.
I have more to blog about, but wanted to put that up before the day got away from me.
