Announcing the Next Project



I've been asked by a lot of people, "So what are you working on now?" Honestly, before last Sunday I didn't have a straight answer because all I was working on was fragmented ideas followed by quick notes jotted down in my little purple notebook. But this past Sunday I attended the Bay Area Book Festival with my family and got the inspiration, motivation, support, kick in the ass (call it what you want) to make a decision. Next project will be a children's illustrated book I'm calling 
The Big Brother Lessons: The Amazing Cape.
A story about 2 young brothers, overcoming jealousy for a fantastic shared experience, and the wonders of a cape. 
I've already written the first draft but I want to try to go the traditional publishing route this time, which means lots of submissions to publishers and months of waiting. 
Got my narrowed down list of appropriate publishers, editing the next draft, and here I go....
Wish me luck!

P.S. I haven't forgotten about In the Cards. Still working on marketing for that one.

At least it would have if any of us was actually paying attention. But we weren't. If we had run out of gas our incessant chatter could have fueled the car. Our high-pitched laughter was outdone only by the blaring music straining the twelve-year old speakers. Let's see, it would have been stuff like the Smiths, Depeche Mode, some Usher and Next, and a little bit of Tupac - it was 1998 after all and we were L.A. girls. Marina borrowed her mom's four-door Honda so we could take this road trip to El Valle de Guadalupe ( a town outside of Ensenada, Mexico) where her grandparents' ranch was ...
