Hi everybody! I am happy to report that Anywhere But Here is now in pre-production. I'm sure you noticed that the book cover came last week, and I changed the home page of the site to show a teaser for the upcoming release. The editor also sent me edits on the manuscript, which I'm working on now. Wow, I didn't realize it, but it seems a lot got by me on this one. I got tendinitis while I was working on this manuscript and I don't think I edited it as extensively as I should have. In fact, I set it aside and believe I forgot to do a round of edits on it before I submitted it. Oops! I'm lucky they accepted this manuscript, and that they assigned me a patient editor that was willing to help.

I've also managed to snag an author interview and guest blog spot for April, so all is progressing well with this one. I hope to find more publicity opportunities soon. I'm keeping my eyes open!

Unfortunately, it seems that everything has taken off this month. February is typically a busy month, and I'm not sure why. But this time, the month has really taken off! In fact, I had to put my schedule on lock down Thursday when I found I had been signed up for 2 things I didn't volunteer for, and had to cancel them. It's just that crazy. And really, it was completely disrespectful for those people to do that. You don't sign people up for things when they aren't there, and especially when they told you twice not to do it (which was the case in one instance). I don't feel one bit bad about cancelling on them, either. In fact, I feel I was more than gracious to even let them know. I could have done what most people do and just not show up.

Anyway, I will manage as I always do. I hope you are all doing well. Take care and have a good weekend.

Bye!
