Seeing as how the cat is out of the bag now about my new book…
I had an idea.
Yeah, I know. Dangerous.
While I’m really excited that Cat Girl’s Day Off is coming out in Spring 2012 rather than in, say, Fall 2012, Spring still seems like an awfully long time away. I know that it’ll actually be here before I know it (um, hey, is it really June? Almost the end of June? And have I really been living in London for like 6 months now??) but at the same time it feels like forever since I started working on the idea.
Actually, I just checked and the original kernel of the idea was written down in July 2008. It’s changed and morphed a lot since then and I didn’t actually start really writing it until November 2009 (according to Word…at least, that’s when I created the original file). So, yeah. Cat Girl’s been on my mind for a while. And I want you to get to know the characters too (especially Oscar. I admit it. I love Oscar.).
So. The idea. Every month until the book comes out (whenever that will be in Spring 2012), I’ll be posting a Behind the Scenes look at one of the characters or something to do with the story. There will be some deleted bits from the book, character bios, that kind of thing. If you have questions as things come out, let me know (I’ll tell you what I can without giving away the story).
I’ll be notifying newsletter subscribers of each bit as it posts or you can just keep an eye on the blog (or on the page I’ll be creating for the book). Hope you enjoy!





can’t wait!
Yay! Great idea!
Hey There,
So how’s London treating you? I still can’t believe you are over the pond now! We were truly honored to host your last USA event for a while, and I love what I hear about the new book. I can’t wait to read it… Any idea when Arcs will be available?
BTW, I changed schools, but same district, just moved a little closer to the B-man:)
Keep writing and sharing!
