This summer has been crazy. Family vacations, swim team meets, camps and dropoffs . . . the usual stuff. Then, on top of all that I have a deadline. September 18–that’s the BIG date when the second book comes out.

So you can imagine, I’ve been working at a feverish pace to get things wrapped up. Happy to report that I’m only a few thousand words away from finishing up Book 2. Then it goes off to beta readers and my editor and then finally to my readers.

That’s the cover for the book, by the way, made by the fantastic Gergo Pocsai. I love that landscape he’s drawn for this cover, don’t you?

I’ll be back soon with more, hopefully another excerpt from the upcoming book. Until then, keep reading!
