Maybe I'm going overboard with this collage thing, but I can't seem to stop myself. Made a collage tonight to frame the map of the Four Arcs -- trying to capture the flavor of the four very different landscapes. Not sure I pulled it off, but it was fun trying.

I love Jenny Crusie, and not surprisingly, I loved her collage workshop at RWA. Inspired, I went back home and set to work (actually play) on a collage of the Four Arcs series. Here's what I have so far -- the first attempt and a later version with a bit more detail.

What a great week in NYC! I pitched to an amazing agent and two amazing editors. Now to submit the manuscript!

Guarding the Waters was featured on the Dear Author blog! Read responses to the novel's opening. So many encouraging comments (constructive criticism, too) and from some amazing writers I admire -- Shannon Stacey, Courtney Milan, Tamara Hogan, Gennita Low.
