What? You didn’t know I was gone? Well, I was. My lack of posting this past week or so was due to me temporarily joining the 9 – 5 world. Or, technically, the 8 – 4:30 world. Now I’ve returned to the ranks of the gainfully happily self-employed.

This is going to be a brief post because I have a literature review assignment due on Saturday and I, er, haven’t picked a topic yet.  Hence, a bulleted list to create the appearance of being brief:

• Harper Madigan: Junior High Private Eye is now out in paperback!  The paperback is gorgeous.  Here are some pictures to show you just how gorgeous.

For those of you holding out for a signed copy, you’ll be able to order one from me very soon.  Like, starting next week.

• I heard from my cover artist for The Trials of Renegade X,  and the cover art is almost done!!!  If you want to see it before the general public, be sure to sign up for my newsletter so when everyone else sees it, you can be like, “Oh, that?  That is so last week.”  Except you’ll probably get to see it more like two weeks early, but saying, “That is so last fortnight,” doesn’t have the same ring to it.
• I’ve got another post coming up on revisions and editing, this time focusing on the little stuff, as opposed to the big picture, so stay tuned for that.
• And if you enjoy my posts on writing, you’ll be excited to know I’m working on my first ever non-fiction book (!!!!!), entitled BREAKING THE RULES: AN INTERMEDIATE GUIDE TO WRITING.  If you’re past the beginner stage but don’t yet have a book contract and want to amp up your writing, this book is for you.  And who doesn’t want to amp up their writing?  Especially for less than the price of a tall mocha frappuccino?

So there you have it.  These are all upcoming things for you to ponder while I desperately calmly finish up my literature review.
