This month is going to be busy in a very positive way.
First, I am really, truly, working again on another project. Although I'd started a couple things about two months ago, I decided to make myself stop working on them because I'd been going through this period of intense nothing-matters self-loathing.
Anyway, I know when I'm really, truly, working on something new because my desk gets really messy and I keep stacks of scrawled notes (in code) in red pen. I never leave notes lying around that anyone can understand except for me -- my notes use numbers, letters, and lots of Xs, and only I can understand them.
When I travel, I keep the same codes on Post-It notes stuck to the inside of my laptop.
Also, this month I am supposed to be getting my editorial letter for Stick -- my next book, due out in 2011, and to say that I am looking forward to getting back to work on that novel would be a colossal understatement. I really love that book.
And, there are some more exciting things happening with my November release, The Marbury Lens, that I'll be talking about here in a couple of weeks.
July has always been my favorite month for work.

Can't wait for the new work to come out.
Well, you've read my books, so you know that all three of them are as different as randomly-selected mutts from the dogpound. STICK completes the set as far as four books that couldn't be farther apart in terms of content and tone (and, in this case, style, too).
But the one I am working on... well let's just say it's a twisted surprise.
A twisted surprise - that is your common theme!
It's refreshing to read a book and not be able to predict the outcome because you have read other books by that author.
And I'm waiting on my copy of Ghost Medicine to arrive.
