Champagne for all!

My friend and fellow Heartlander Barb Stuber sold her first novel, a YA called CROSSING THE TRACKS!!!

Karen Wojtyla, executive editor at Margaret K. McElderry, a division of Simon and Schuster, and clearly a woman of extraordinary taste, says novel is lyrical and haunting, wrapped her in an embrace and spoke to her heart. And having read much of CROSSING THE TRACKS, I can attest to that. Put this on your MUST BUY list for 2010.

Congratulations, Barb and your wondeful agent Ginger Knowlton! May this be the first of many celebrations for your partnership!

My favorite WBBT so far

MT Anderson at Finding Wonderland.

Brilliance. And that’s saying quite a bit, given the caliber of the WBBT this year.

Carry on.

What’s up?

Since my last head poke up from the chaos two weeks ago, life piled upon me more, um, er, "opportunities" I couldn’t pass up. Looks like I should have a breather around, oh, Dec. 26.  Anyone have any exciting news to share? Nothing here.  

Oh wait, yes there is!   
Tomorrow I get to see these guys!
And Monday you’ll find me laughing at
him and him!  
Yay me! So I’ll leave you all with this:


 

Fun fact: Coldplay’s lead singer looks a lot like a friend of mine from high school:


Everyone say hi to Bob!
(notice the mid-’80s mobile phone latched onto the belt and the neon clothing! Gnarly!)
