I’m not blogging much because I’m in the final stages of completing the new book and that is taking all of my energy. The story is a comedy/drama about two young riders, Alex and Cleo. It’s about horses and the sport of dressage and coming out and coming of age and I’m completely and totally obsessed with it. It feels a little scary but also exciting to work on something that is not an Alice book. Look for excerpts here sometime in the next couple of months. Also, if you’d like to receive notices of new books, excerpts from upcoming projects, and information about my tour schedule, send your name and email address to andfurthermore@shaw.ca (link on sidebar) to become part of my mailing list. (Which is theoretical at the moment but will be a reality soon!)
In lieu of a long blog here are a few photos of Mexican beach dogs. They are live-fast, die-young creatures and only the strong survive. They are also supernaturally cute. If certain people hadn’t laid down the law, all of these dogs would currently be residing here at our home in Nanaimo. Or, more likely, we would still be in Mexico trying to get papers to bring them home.
