Ready for Raine
The final content edits for The Dragon Conspiracy are DONE and turned in to my editor. YEA!!! Next, the manuscript goes through copy editing. At that point, I can still make tweaks to the content. After that, the manuscript is typeset, and I get one last read-thru along with the copy editor to check for [...]

Back from New Orleans, mostly recovered, and writing
Hey everybody! Derek & I are back from New Orleans, and we had a WONDERFUL time! As always RT was like getting together with friends and family — lots of squeeing, hugging, and getting together for meals/drinks. Derek arranged for us to do the Backstage Penguin Experience at the Aquarium of the Americas. We got [...]
