I'm taking a short break from my posts on Dialog to share something I haven't felt I should until now. My good friend and super critique partner, L.K. Madigan, is quite ill and undergoing chemotherapy.
I write about this only because she's gone public on her blog and the 2009 Debs have run a contest with the prizes being her books donated by our members. Since Lisa's illness is no longer private I won't be violating her confidence.
The Oregonian has nominated Lisa's Flash Burnout for the Oregonian Reader's Choice Award. I've already voted to help her win, and I'd like to ask my readers to at least consider her book when going here [Oregonian ] to cast your vote.
Thank you all.
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.
