New book delivered
Just a quick note to let my Goodreads friends know that my second novel has been officially accepted for publication by Random House and will be coming out some time next spring, 2016. More info later this summer but I can tell you it's more pages than Major P. so get ready to settle in for a long, and hopefully satisfying, read! Meanwhile, I'm settling in to begin novel number three and putting the first few pages down on the computer this week! It's a beautiful spring day in Brooklyn and all the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Perfect writing conditions.

Congratulations on facing down those blank pages! MP is one of my favorite books and I am looking forward to settling in and seeing what you came up with this time.

Can't wait to see the new book. Your first was such a great read! And on to number 3! Excellent!!
Hip Hip Hooray! I have just re-read the Major for the 9th time - he is one of three comfort books when nothing else appeals to me!
I'm almost finished with MP and am so enchanted by it, I had to find out whether you had written other books. Thanks for posting the good news! I'm very much looking forward to the next one!
Is the first novel the hardest?
Writing a novel is like carrying around armfuls of spaghetti and meatballs without a bowl. It can be a lonely process and we all need friends, teachers and whatever sources of inspiration get us throu
