Between Here and Forever cover!!! (and links too, of course--it is me, after all!)

Let me start with a congrats! to Alicia, who won last week's contest--and yes, there will be one this week. (How did you know??)

Moving on, I--of course!!--have links to share, along with something else:

My next novel, Between and Forever, has two characters from Bloom in it (yes, for real!) and:

a. it's going to be surprising who they are
and
b. it's going to be even more surprising to find out what role they play...

I also think the cover is gorgeous *and* pays homage to Bloom in a really cool way.

Don't want to wait until May 24, 2011 to see the cover of Between Here and Forever? Ok, here you go--and let me know what you think!




And now for the links:

Is having your book come out in trade paperback and not hardcover a bad thing?

How writers can fight worry/envy/etc.--or, as Ally Carter says "the crazies"

The power of biting your tongue--so, so, SO true!

A really interesting look at editing--and how it can become overediting

Little chunks of time to write DO add up

Lovely post about, IMO, the best book on writing about there--Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird

And one more post about hardcover vs. trade paperback--this time by a soon-to-be-published author --"the only thing that matters to me is this: I need to sell enough copies of The Kitchen Daughter to earn out my advance and impress publishers enough to make an offer on my next book, so we can start this cycle again. I just want a chance to place another bet."

And of course, I have close with yum! links....Pumpkin Pie French Toast (for my husband, the pumpkin pie lover), Chocolate Cookies n' Cream Cookies, and "You got your peanut butter in my chocolate!"--"You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!"["(Yes, I'm THAT old!)
