I’m very sorry to say that I won’t be attending Conjecture this weekend. I had hoped to come to my panel tomorrow (Sunday) but I won’t be able to make it. My family situation has resolved, so thank you very much for your queries. I do appreciate them.

Conjecture: Due to a family emergency, I might not be able to come to Conjecture this weekend. I’ll post more as soon as I know more.

A year ago today, one of my mentors, Charles L. Grant, died from a heart attack. I was at Girl Scout camp when I heard the news. Ironically, I am leaving in a few minutes for another Girl Scout camp.
Give someone you love a hug, and rejoice in life.

This is the first in a series of “kidgoth” books that I am writing for Penguin and it’s available now! “My” name is Chris P. Flesh, although in the future, other books in the series might be written by other authors. The first four are by me, though. Come to the strange little town of Snickering Willows, founded by Horatio Snickering III, the creator of Mystery Meat!
I’ll be posting the cover soon. For now, please check it out here!
Related posts:I am absolutely delighted to announce that the third book in the GIFTED series will be released by Silhouette Nocturne (tm) in August of 2008! The book will be retitled SON OF THE SHADOWS. I spent some time with the Nocturne ™ marketing team and our amazing art director at Comic-Con, crossing my fingers that this would happen. I am still working with my wonderful editor and pinching myself at my good fortune.
Last year I asked for some Nocturne ™ totebags to take to various local cons and Silhouette sent me several boxes. I’m so glad I kept one.
Related posts:I am in a very nice (and cool!) motel this weekend, working on PRETTY FREEKIN’ SCARY 4: BEEN THERE, CROSSED OVER. This is my fourth PFS book, all of them written under the name Chris P. Flesh. I wrote all day yesterday (Saturday) and watched the Japanese movie PAPRIKA as my reward.
I am still puzzled by the number of emails I answer, that then bounce. As soon as this book is in, I’ll talk to my webmaster about it.
Meantime, thank you for the queries of WICKED 3, DAUGHTER OF THE SHADOWS, and a possible sequel to PRETTY LITTLE DEVILS. Here’s what I have to tell you:
1. Wicked 3–still no firm news
2. DAUGHTER–I may have some really good news soon!
3. PLD–still no firm news
I wish I had something more concrete to tell you, but I don’t. Meantime, I can tell you that as soon as I turn in PFS4, I will be finishing a short story about Zorro. I have become a Zorro geek! I’ve watched Zorro movies; I’m reading ZORRO UNMASKED by Sandra Curtis; I have Isabel Allende’s Zorro novel on CD; and I just went to the San Gabriel Mission. This is the Mission that Zorro would have hung out at. Many of the priests are buried in the campesino there and it completely freaked out my daughter.
Speaking of my daughter, we went on a very quick trip to Long Beach last weekend, to spend some girltime together. We went to the Long Beach Aquarium, the Queen Mary, and the Pirate’s Dinner Adventure. All very wonderful. We swam and I worked while she did some reading.
I hope you are all having a Pretty Wonderful Little Memorial Day!
