Back to Work on the New Book

To tell the truth, the Blue Thread characters are still all aglow and a bit full of themselves after receiving the Leslie Bradshaw Award for Young Adult Literature at the Oregon Book Awards ceremony this week. I certainly am not about to dampen their enthusiasm, since at least two of them are working hard with me on the next book, The Ninth Day. Lots to do before Ooligan Press releases them to the world this fall. No wonder this is such a short post!
