Back in Black

The announcement of the Big Scary and new contract is made, I've gone into my bunker--and re-emerged. Interviews are done (see http://fictionaddict.com/2009/07/20/tosca-lee-interview/), the wild wind has died down, a new contest is running (see details here), and now it's simply time to work. In the weeks since my last post I've gone to a writer's retreat in Denver to hang with author friends and study under Michael Hauge, worked on consulting projects, imbibed wine, pulled a small section of my hair out, returned to Pilates, sworn off wine, recomitted to the treadmill, missed my 2am bedtime, eaten things I'll hate myself for later, and hosted a wonderful group of writer friends at my home, including contemporary author Nicole Baart, romance author Cheryl Wyatt, romantic suspense author Camy Tang, and women's fiction author Meredith Efken.

Here's what I think. I've got a cool interview with Camy on her new release, Deadly Intent, coming up later today and tomorrow, as well as promised spotlights on several other authors, including Eric Wilson and Robert Liparulo. When I'm done with those, I want to blog about writing, about my reasons for writing the story of Judas, and some of the fascinating things I'm learning. I want to continue to answer your questions--yes, even about pageants--and, within the next few months, hopefully, unveil the revamped website, built for you.

Sound like a plan? Can I get an "Amen?"
