Cute picture, right? Well that orca EATS the porpoise!

So I just got the notification that this is the one year anniversary of my blog! Whoa! Bit of a milestone, and probably one that deserves a long and thoughtful post….

…but since I’m up to my eyeballs in the Book 3 manuscript (tentatively titled, “Woods And Bears And A Few Poop Jokes Concerning The Two” — it’s a work in progress), I’ll have to be brief — a year ago, I’d just sold my book and two unwritten sequels to Roc, and my agent told me that I needed to set up a website. I had really no idea what to expect.

A year later — yes, there are things that I might complain or grumble about, but I’m always very aware that my problems now are very much first-world-writer problems. Generation V is in print. Iron Night will be published in January. I’m writing a book now with the knowledge that it goes to my editor rather than having to be shopped around in hopes of a sale.

Life is good. Very stressful, but good. I’m looking forward to seeing what things are like a year from now.
