A Few Things
As we head into the weekend, I thought I'd share a few updates and random happenings.
First, some Siren announcements. I've posted elsewhere but not here that the sequel has an official title: Undercurrent. This was chosen after much discussion with Egmont, my agent, and her assistant; in the end, we all agreed that a powerful, beneath-the-surface force best suggested Vanessa's struggles upon her return to Boston for her senior year of high school. I love the title and hope readers do, too!
In other Siren news, the German edition, Im Zauber der Sirenen, has been released. So hello, new German readers! I hope you enjoy. Also, the audio version is now available for purchase.
On a completely unrelated topic, thanks to dropping temperatures and the upcoming holiday, I've been in the mood for some spooky TV specials lately. There weren't many choices until this week, when my husband and I came upon a two-part, four-hour documentary about the making of Nightmare on Elm Street. When this movie first came out manymanymany years ago, my mother refused to let me see it, and after watching the documentary, I understand why. Twenty-five years later, I'd probably still be traumatized and unable to sleep through the night! But it was definitely interesting to hear how it was made and became such a pop-culture phenomenon. And next week there's going to be another documentary about the making of Friday the 13th, which I also haven't seen. Despite that, I'm already looking forward to the behind-the-scenes scoop!
Speaking of dropping temperatures, I'm in full-on fall mode now. I've packed up the flip-flops, busted out the socks and slippers, and already gone through two pumpkin-scented candles—the big kind, with, like, 100-hour burn times each. And last night, I made butternut squash soup for the first time ever, and it was DELISH! In case you couldn't tell, I'm all about the orange-colored squash this time of year.
Finally, I was at my mom's house this week and invaded her massive stash of Christmas music. I can now listen to the holiday hits of Harry Connick Jr., Mariah Carey, Frank Sinatra, and the Smashing Pumpkins any time I want...which is pretty much all the time! In a few more weeks, I'll be ready for documentaries about the making of Miracle on 34th Street and A Christmas Story and even Prancer. Especially since I've actually seen all of those!
Have a great weekend!
