So yesterday I was working on Riley Book Number 1 (no title yet, so that's what I'm calling it until further notice!) and I was writing this scene with Buttercup (her yellow lab) and at that moment I wanted a yellow lab of my own so bad I can't even tell you. It was just like writing about Italy when I've been chained (figuratively speaking!) to my desk for weeks on end, or describing food in a scene when my last meal was hours ago--that sort of salivating feeling filled with so much, well, wantingness! Then just after I hit my word count, I headed over to some friend's house for dinner and there on the couch was their yellow lab who was so incredibly sweet and well behaved, well, it seemed like a sign . . .
But well before I make the transition from fictional dog owner to real dog owner,
I'm giving away five signed copies of
SHADOWLAND, (in stores November 17th!), and answering
your questions in a podcast interview over at

Okay, back to Riley's adventures for me . . . have a fun weekend everyone!
