CHILDREN OF THE STREET is right on schedule for release next summer, barring anything unforeseen. My Random House super-editor Jen Smith and I are working diligently "on the case," so to speak, and things are moving forward nicely. We are fine-tuning the novel so we can have you, my faithful readers, glued to the pages and maybe even a few of you up till 2 AM because you can't put it down!
