Short post for me today.
Hey, did I just hear a cumulative sigh of relief? Ha ha, no worries. I’m swamped with all kinds of wonderful right
now.
On Wednesday, I leave for BoucherCon, my first-ever writer’s
conference, though, to be honest, it’s way more than that. It’s for anyone
who loves mystery and crime fiction, fans and writers alike. Even better, I get to see one of my besties, Jennifer Hillier. Sadly, she moved from here in Seattle back to Toronto
last December and I haven’t seen her since, so I’m excited beyond words! Happy dance time!
But as incredible as that is—and it is incredible—something
even bigger is planned. I finally, FINALLY get to meet, in person, my
pub-sister, my most valued critique partner, my email buddy, and my very best
friend and confidant, Lisa Regan. We’ve been CPs for over two years now. Without fail, we email long-ass letters to
each other twice a week, with lots of little ones and texts in between. So, hell yeah, this is going to be
EPIC!!! Be prepared for lots of pictures
when I return.
Also exciting, starting today, I’m a judge for the Small
Press Pitch portion of Deana Barnhart’s
Gearing Up to Get an Agent Blogfest or GUTGAA, as we lovingly call it. How cool is that?
And, of course, since I’ll be gone and it’s the beginning of
the month, I have to compose a little sump’m sump’m for Alex J. Cavanaugh’s IWSG on
Wednesday. And with all this
wonderfulness, I simply have nothing to complain about, so I plan on writing
something a bit lighter than usual.
That said, I’m happy to be buried in edits—my new day job—which,
I must say, I love, love LOVE! In addition to all that, my debut novel, The Mistaken,
launches in less than three weeks, along with my whirlwind blog tour, so while I’m drowning in promo, I’m lovin’
every minute of it! This is me with my
head ready to spin right off my body!
What about you…have you ever found yourself drowning in pure
euphoria?
