I'm rounding the corner on this effort, and I'm writing this to my blog to remember this process later.
If I ever gain any recognition for my writing and do receive some kind of "award" and then some new author asks me to write a blurb for their book jacket, I'm going to read this entry and recall just how difficult it is to find authors who've "arrived" who are willing to give a leg up to someone starting out.
I'm a writer who captures the pulse of adolescent confusion in my Young Adult fiction, Sliding on the Edge and The Princess of Las Pulgas. Of course, I often reveal a lot of my Old Adult confusion while doing that. My first Middle Grade fantasy titled Alligators Overhead is out to good reviews, so that's making me happy. SUMMER SCHEDULE: I'll be blogging on Mondays only, unless there's something important.

The Book
I now have a title that I can live with and that seems to satisfy my publisher. We've decided On the Edge is the best. Still love Bad Ass Attitude, but win some lose some.
The good news is it's coming out sooner than expected (spring '09). More good news is I have a great illustrator for the cover. He's the same one as designed Speak's cover.
Now back to writing that second thing. What's it called?
