I can't believe it's July. I'm looking forward to a family roadtrip to Colorado next week and then I'll be headed to the Romance Writers of America (RWA) convention in San Antonio!  It'll be my first RWA and I'm so excited to see what all the fuss is about!  

I've been such a bad blogger here but there hasn't been much to update. I've been writing, editing and writing more. My beautiful debut novel is being polished ever so lovingly and I'm trying to use this time before publication to cram as many words into other projects as I can. If you don't see updates here on the site, please make sure you follow me on Twitter as this is like my formal living room, with the plastic covers on the couches and the old-fashioned silver tea set that needs a good polish - it only gets used for important events.  Twitter is like the basement man cave, where I click on the big screen, invite tons of friends over, let their kids get hopped up on juice and Cheetos and we just shoot the bull  and whip up margaritas on a Saturday night.  You may prefer one environment over the other, which is cool.

Or Pinterest! Pinterest is like... the kitchen. Everyone always ends up in the kitchen. There's always something to look at and talk about in there. 

And then there's Facebook. If you haven't heard, it's a difficult place to be right now, especially if you want your friends and followers to actually see your posts, since Facebook is controlling what pages you see on your timeline. Continuing my (rather uninspired) metaphor, Facebook is like the laundry room. Completely necessary but not super convenient for the hostess or the guests.

So follow me in all the places, and you'll soon see a newsletter signup. It's my goal to do that this summer. After RWA and before school starting and in between book drafts.  It'll happen! I promise!

Check in with me from time to time and hopefully I'll have the Big Book News that everyone is waiting for soon!
