It seems, my Minions, that your Auntie Heather has not yet learned all that there is to learn about herself. For instance, she did not know that she would struggle through four (or was it five?) versions of her DEVON’S PLAYGROUND synopsis, only to emerge from that experience with both an amazing tale, but also a deep appreciation (shh!) for what a synopsis can do for a writer. She also did not know that she has within her countless amounts of stories, just waiting to be told, or that she could express those stories in different ways. Nor did your Auntie Heather know that she could be so broken by the task of creating a good synopsis. It’s humbled her. Me. I’m humbled.

Or something.

And tired. But now I’m finished (briefly), as today I sent off the first 50 pages of DEVON’S PLAYGROUND to my fabulous agent. So now…we wait. And likely, clean something.

You’ll be happy to hear that Vlad is doing well. He’s been chattering away in my ear about tenth grade, and I’ve been happy to listen. However, he’s getting super anxious about the impending release of EIGHTH GRADE BITES. And, he’s been thinking we should give away more stuff soon. So, watch for the next contest on my “Win Things” page, and keep an eye on this blog, as I’ll be randomly giving away ARCs over the next few months.

Yeah. I’m cool like that.

Rad, even.
