So WHAT's my cover photo all about?

Hello all,

You've probably noticed a few blog changes (All of them good). It's now super easy to subscribe (just enter your email to the left). I've also added a "Like" button, and a "Follow" button (Feel free to take advantage of those).

A few of you have been asking about my Facebook cover photo. The one that says "Hospes" across it with a little girl standing next to it. It's a preview of the title of my upcoming book and sequel! The first book is called "Somnis" (which means "Dreams" in Latin), and its sequel is called "Hospes (which means "Guest" and "Host").

I'm 10,000 words into Somnis, and I'm loving the story so far (it's so hard to put it down when I have three midterms to study for, but hey.) I can't tell you very much about it yet (agent's orders), but I can tell you it's about a little girl named Peregrine Aoki (pictured in the cover photo) who discovers that the town she just moved to has a very dark secret, and so does her mother. I hope you're all as excited as I am!

Agent Update:

So initially my agent wanted to send The Middle of the Sidewalk to a small publisher in Corvallis. However, she thinks this book could win some substantial literary awards, so she wants to send it to larger publishers in New York! She is currently reading it through one final time before we'll meet with a group of editors. Then they'll review it, and we'll be ready to send it off to the Big Apple in no time! I've already chosen an illustrator for the front cover and planned out a few giveaways (get excited, everyone).

Lastly, thank you ALL for your continued likes and comments on Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, and Blogger. I couldn't do it without you.

Onward and Upward,
