Feel free to ignore/mute all these posts—or even block if you're so inclined—but I'm just so pleased that this is finally happening that I'm delighting in playing. Pretty soon I'll start adding attributions to these quotes, and then maybe I'll write a blog post. Let's see how the timing works out.

It's Friday. I have all sorts of news I'd love to share, but it's not ready. Not yet. Not quite. But I just can't resist doing *something*. And you don't mind a bit of teasing, right? Right?? 😈

Oh no. The first thing I saw (on Lily Tomlin’s IG account) when I woke up. RIP Dame Maggie Smith. A great actor.

I love autumn: brine-scented mist rolling up the ravine from the Sound, dew-damp annuals still defiantly bright in the face of inevitable doom, crows gathering... A time of new beginnings. And I've just had some great news that I've been waiting to hear for a long, long time... wp.me/p5NPmJ-lwD

It's not so much who your *publisher* is as who your editor is. Which is why I've followed my editor from house to house and imprint to imprint. But that books-spread-over-multi-houses thing can be difficult for a career, so there are pros and cons. Every writer's career is different.
