In the writing room right now ...

In the writing room right now ... I have the walls covered with brown "butcher" paper so I can pin up ideas, photos, drawings, and my constant supply of hand-drawn maps and plot outlines. I've finished revisions on a YA murder investigation set in 1921 in Vermont -- Cold Midnight. Next up, revisions on an 1850 winter adventure of three girls, The Long Shadow. Very much in a gentle research stage is an 1883 novel called Copper Mountain and a haunted story of "today" called The Fire Curse. Some poems, too. Count on the blog getting bits from all of these. Yes, I guess I do like multi-tasking! How about you?

You Could Win a Free Copy of THE SECRET ROOM ... Or Reserve One to Purchase at a Vermont Author Event!

Visit this Minnesota mom's wonderful blog Hanging Off the Wire and try for a free copy of The Secret Room today. Do spend some time reading HayleyK's posts ... she's got a lot of good insight.

And then, to make sure you're going to have enough copies (one for you, one for your mom, one for your best friend at the holidays), please do mark your calendar for one of these upcoming events featuring the book:

* Sunday Nov. 6 at 1 pm at The Flying Pig Bookstore in Shelburne, VT, where kids and young adults come first (but there are great books for their "drivers" too!).

* Monday Nov. 7 at 7 pm at the church in West Barnet, VT, for the meeting of the West Barnet Women's Fellowship.

* Friday Nov. 25 (yes, the day after Thanksgiving, "Black Friday") at 11 am at Bear Pond Books in Montpelier, with an armful of other wonderful Vermont authors.

See you soon!
