I'm BACK!!!!!!

I hope you missed me as much as I missed you, dear blog reader.

It's been a long time. So what's been happening in our writing world?

For one thing, I finished the final copy edits on CURSES! A F**ked Up Fairytale, which, BTW, is available for pre-order on amazon.com. Right now it is listed for $10.20.

What else?

Oh, I presented a workshop for the PPW Write Brain. It was on Criminal Profiling, and how a writer can use it to enhance their characters and dialogue. I had a great time (I hope the other writers did too). I'd forgotten how much I LOVE talking about profiling and serial killers. Not to mention, hanging out with people who absorb everything and turn it into beautiful words. I listened to these writers share amazing paragraphs written in 5 minutes. Pikes Peak has a mess of excellent writers.

The Summer Writing Program ended two weeks ago, and I'm finally freeing myself from a mess of 'day' job work. The program went well. Met plenty of big time writers and artists. Developed hundreds of writerly crushes. A good time had by all.

Now, what did you do for your summer? Did you read any good books? Do anything exciting? Sell a book or two? Hook up with your dream agent?

Oh, and who's going to the Colorado Gold Conference (Sept 9-11)?

  3. I will be ordering CURSES! as well. Can't wait to read it. If I lived closer, I wouldn't have missed the profiling workshop. I loved all my Crim classes in college.
