When Progress Becomes Completion

So it arrived yesterday afternoon… the first soft cover copy of my book, freshly hatched from the publishers a couple days ago. Here it is…

I was told it would arrive in 2-3 weeks, and it actually took 2-3 days. Godspeed, I tell you (influenced by UPS, no doubt, which I’m loving right now).

Step 1: Change of Scenery

I wanted to finish my book this summer, and I knew that sitting in LA was not going to help (with the temperatures I’ve come back to? Hell, no…).

Hoots & Giggles

I don’t know about you, but this has been my most productive summer to date… even with a vacation holiday, beach time, and incredible meetups in the beautiful city where my upcoming book takes place – Vancouver (more about that soon).

Here’s what’s been happening…
Niki Owl Hatched a New Website!

When you’re in full creative flow, things happen at the speed of owls flying. And believe me, they fly fast.
