Time for some good news/bad news, minions. Bad news first: BEYOND THE LOOKING GLASS is being shelved for a good long time, maybe forever. My fabulous agent and I agree that a little book called THE LOOKING GLASS WARS might make me look like a wannabe and make for a tough sale, so *sob* no Wonderland for me right now. It’s okay–I’ll get over it. (Actually, I’m almost over it already–it’s just a bummer)
Good news: I have the perfect song to head up the soundtrack to DEVON’S PLAYGROUND! Okay, so maybe this isn’t good news for you, but the right music really helps the words flow for me. Plus…I just love My Chemical Romance.
More good news: DEVON’S PLAYGROUND is going fabulously and, with any luck, we’ll go on submission with it soon. (SQUEE!) But if that’s ever going to happen, I need to work. (I promise agent finding tips are coming soon!)

That is a real shame about Wonderland/btlg
Give it some time and I’ll bet you can bring it back again.
Great news about the song addition. I am a firm believer in have the right music to create/write with.
Still looking forward to reading your agent finding tips
(’cause I REALLY NEED one)
No worries, Ewoh–tips coming soon!
Hey, Heather — to answer your question on my blog — I don’t think I’ll finish this book. Not worth it to me.
Regarding the cliches of witchcraft, I think the only way is to write books with a more postive depiction and do our damndest to make sure they sell well. And support people who write the better books with both our cash and writing about their books.
Mercedes Lackey has done a lot for the genre (the Diana Tregarde books are my guilty pleasure), but there’s a lot more out there — Diana Paxon, Lynne ABbey, loads of them. Many of the authors are ghettoized by genre, though.
Completely agree, Devon!
