Scampering off again

I know I’ve been a bad blogger, but the last few days have been so busy. For instance:

* I volunteered at the Smithsonian’s annual Zoofari
* I attended Sailor Boy’s high school reunion
* I watched Sailor Boy get yet another degree (our walls, they have no room for more diplomas… luckily, the Yale ones are both small and undiploma-y)
* I designed some very cool promotional items for the release of Rites of Spring (Break).
* I judged a contest for my RWA chapter
* I worked on ancillary matter for Rampant
* I reviewed a colleague’s most recent book proposal
* I worked on SSG4, which may have as many as up to seventeen sex scenes.*

And today, I’m going to New York for a get together at the YA Author Mansion. Of course it’s a real thing. Where do you think we get our ideas?

* In response to a writer who told me, straight faced, that the difference between YA and adult was that adult books had sex scenes. Which, huh? I can think of many YA books with sex scenes. I can think of many adult books, including ones written by me, without. For instance, there is no sex scene in Secret Society Girl. I am, however, keeping mum on the content of ROSB. 😉
