Hope everyone is having a great 2018 thus far! I took January as a mental rest break, but I'm now getting back to queries and also writing The Tree with Two Sides, which got some pleas for "more, more!" at a reading of the first couple chapters. (Dr. Enid Seward rolled her eyes and said, "You're a real piece of work, writer, choosing that 1980s homage Appalachian stuff over me and Vancouver!" Enid, go chase a werewolf or something, okay?) Hmm. Do your characters ever talk to you like she does to me?

I just got the new Phillip Pullman book, La Belle Sauvage, and it's been a keeper thus far.

Have you read anything new and great lately?
