A New Series

Challenges and knowledge from my work

I’m writing my July 1 post as the usual mix, and will post it, of course, on Tuesday.

After that, something new: I’m going to be looking at a number of my books, writing about their challenges and lessons.

My latest book (Blue Hours) was just released May 1. But I’m almost finished my next. This is how time functions for a writer: by the time a book is a reality, the writer’s heart is moved on. The writing itself—for me, and for many I know—is central, is the meaningful piece.

So I’m going to share the stories in that. My published works cover stories for all ages. There’s more—stories in journals, more anthologies, the earliest works. I’ll group lessons learned from such work. There’s also a book published with an educational publisher… now that was a trip! (Not to repeat without eyes wide open.) And a ghost-written Boxcar Children mystery.
