    So, it’s been a crazy year, with my debut novel releasing May of 2010, and trying to find the right next book to work on. Even more crazy – trying to write that next book just the right way (Do I kill Joey? Or not? Or maybe? Or . . . hmm.). I’ve been a very neglectful blogger,…

    My debut novel, The Tension of Opposites, launched exactly one week ago – on May 25th, 2010. It was a crazy whirlwind of a week, and I could hardly catch my breath. But it was good. Oh, so good! What did I do? The normal stuff a mother of two pre-schoolers must do – laundry,…
