Hi, Guys!
I had this long, long post last night--a really good newsy one--and then it blipped away. Sad. Nan, that's wonderful that after all this time, AS still speaks to you. That really humbles me, honestly. I still believe there will be something--I hope--that I can do with that one. I started a story set in Santa Fe last summer, about this kind of mystical artist (a woman) who had a rare supernatural gift. I plan to pick it back up in the future. While it's NOT AS (at all), I drew on that same kind of mystical feeling about the art and the winter landscape in the town. That sort of thing. It's called THE WAITING GAME and hopefully I'll be able to get rolling on that one as I get some headway on THIS new set of stories.
I sold this series on proposal, and as of today am close to halfway done with book one. They want different titles than the ones I proposed

but that's okay!
As for Tess and Marco, hmm hmm hmm. I love him. I still do, and I should just say he's going to be very very sexy. So he'll have his match, mark my words. There's so much I wish I could share, but I just CANT yet. But it will be much sooner than we think!
I'm not sure when these works will sell for translation in Poland, but I will definitely use your online support here to express my readers' interest in that fact! And in meantime, I wonder if some of you can order from Amazon? That doesn't help those who have read the translation of my other stories, but it's a start. I am going to London later this month for a big publishing convention and will try to meet some of the publishers from Poland and discuss this opportunity!
Btw, I did leave the link to my site,

Big hugs to everyone! Are you guys still reading GRAVITY, btw? Just curious... that is sooooo long!

OH, and meant to say this on VANILLA SKY: that movie absolutely blew my mind. I find it so haunting, so disturbing, so lovely. I think I tried to filter the MOOD of it with that story. A lot of my readers, though, didn't like the movie very much. I think what really "got" me about it, though, was that for the entire movie I wasn't sure WHAT was going to happen. I find Hollywood so boringly predictable now. It's just rare to sit down and have someone unveil something that causes my pulse to race the whole time. That's how that movie made me feel; then, looking back through it a second time, you see all these images from pop culture, things he wove into his dream, and that fascinated me.
Well, now I really will wave bye!

Hugs, d
