I'm going to SCBWI LA next week and rooming with my good picture-book friend Verla Kay.
The theme this year is pajama party so I bought some cute Disney PJ's -- can you guess
which Disney character I choose? Magical and girly with some attitude.
The biggest news is that I finished the first draft of my BIG project (futuristic YA mystery).
The book came to 385 pages and while I'm rewriting I'm cutting so it's not that long.
While I won't tell the title of my book (too often I've put that out there and someone used it first)
I'll say the theme is identity and survival with a bit of saving the world, too. Romance, of course,
and I love the moment when my characters meet. Lots of twists and secrets and life/death choices.
I just finished reading an adult-paranormal-romance by a favorite mystery author, Jan Burke,
that's titled THE MESSENGER; love how the hero talks to dying people and the heroine sees ghosts.
Excellent book!
What are you reading and/or writing?
