Last week I
talked mostly about the Harlequin Romantic Suspense novel I was working on,
COVERT ALLIANCE. Well, I finished the
draft enough to send it on to some friends who are writers, too, to get their
comments to incorporate before I submit it.
If all goes well, I'll get it off early in January, a month before it's
due. Since it was requested to arrive
early, that's a good thing.
For the
past weeks, though, I've been concentrating on that manuscript. Now it's time to start working on something
else. That means I need to turn my mind
in a different direction, from series romantic suspense to mystery. I mentioned last week some of the things I'll
be working on: the next Barkery & Biscuits Mystery and a new idea I want to
pursue.
Meantime,
I'm anticipating a busy time for the rest of the holiday season and
beyond. Relatives start arriving from
out of town soon, and plans are being made for enjoying their company.
And after
that--well, I live in the Hollywood Hills not far from Universal Studios. I enjoy having them for a neighbor. I think it's really fun that the Sisters in
Crime organization is having a national conference next year about trying to
sell your stories to the film industry.
It'll take place in a hotel at Universal that will be fairly close to my
home. But the traffic... Ugh! It's gotten worse every year since I've moved
to L.A.
One good
thing is that my commute these days consists of walking from my bedroom to my
office to get to work at the computer.
Even so, I'm not chained to my desk and actually go places relatively
frequently. I'm not looking forward at
all to that increase in traffic.
Maybe Harry
Potter could wave his wizard wand and make the bad traffic disappear... Don't I wish!

I miss the ET ride at Universal. It smelled wonderful and was was really magical.
