Summer’s Comin’…

This summer, I have a lot to look forward to. First, I won’t be on a tight deadline. I’m on a deadline, but not a tight one…unless, of course, I futz around and don’t write steadily everyday, in which case, I’ll be back on a tight deadline (as is usually the case) by summer’s end. But I’m going to try really, really, really hard to write everyday for at least two hours…more, depending on what my daughter is up to that day.

Well, except for two weeks in July which will be a total bust. There’s the RWA conference. That always cuts into my writing time.

And then of course, there’s this:

Two weeks of Harry Potter bliss…the release of the movie and then the book. I don’t know what I’ll do with myself without Harry to look forward to after this…except, of course, at least there will be two more movies. Still…July will be all Harry, all the time.

And in August…I have this to look forward to:

Isn’t it scrumptious? The Art Director listened and did exactly the cover I suggested, all the way down to the bare-chested, buff guy (I didn’t request Ben Affleck bulked up, but hey, it could be worse) and her red gown and short hair. This is the first book in my St. Lyon Witches series for Harlequin. I’m so excited!

So…what are you looking forward to this summer???
