Leave of Absence

Probably won’t be posting again for a while, due to a moderate family emergency. Rest assured: everyone will be fine.

Meanwhile, we are still having a giveaway of Secret Society Girl, the paperback, this week. Leave a comment in this post to enter.

In passing, winners from the last two weeks, Susan Hatler and Crystal G, have yet to contact me to receive their prizes. Since my access to email is spotty this week, let’s give them until Friday and then I’ll draw new names.

I’m tremendously behind in what’s going on in the world, on email, on loops, on blogs, etc. right now, but I do know these things:

1) Justine Larbalestier won an Andre Norton Award for her debut novel, Magic or Madness. Wow. Go, Justine! I am completely blown away by this and would be more eloquent except that I haven’t slept in thirty hours. (Justine, if you’re reading this, I am buying our next round in celebration.)

2) Gemma Halliday’s debut, Spying in High Heels, is currently in development as a television series on the USA Network!!!

Now I sleep.
