New Beginnings

After several months of "What's next?" and "Have you started another?" I've started another. To be honest, I was a little insulted by these questions. Can't we just celebrate this one for a few more minutes? For the love of God, the ink is barely dry -- come on!

But I am excited to be starting another. I haven't written fiction in over a year. Amphibian's Phineas William Walsh (www.carlagunn.ca) has consumed my life for quite a long time. It's time to let him go off into the world and trust that he'll be okay -- that he'll make new friends who will treat him kindly. So I'll turn my attention to another kid now. In this new novel with the working title "Nuts" my protagonist is a little older and with a whole set of different problems. At thirteen the world's a confusing place. Poor kid. Wish him well.
