New Book!I'm writing again and it feels good! I'd hoped to finish a second draft before summer (I came close) but I've had to put it away until after the official (June 7) opening of Tiger Eyes. Though I tend never to talk about a book while I'm writing it I'll just say I'm enjoying being back in the 50's, a decade I hated when I actually lived through it. So bland, I thought, so boring! But this time I know everything that's going on underneath, everything that was left unsaid, the secrets that were kept not only from the children, but from friends and neighbors, and I find it fascinating. This is a complicated story to tell -- my job is to tell it as well as I can. Is it YA or adult (or maybe both)? Too soon to know. |
