Am I done yet? Not quite! World Book Night is April 23, and I’ll be giving away copies of Sue Grafton’s Q IS FOR QUARRY. Linda O Johnston’s Pet Rescue Mysteries, a spinoff from her Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter mystery series for Berkley Prime Crime, feature Lauren Vancouver, a determined pet rescuer who runs a no-kill shelter. Of course, in this cozy mystery series, “no-kill†refers to the animals, not people! Her most recent Pet Rescue Mystery is THE MORE THE TERRIER , and next will be HOUNDS ABOUND , an April 2012 release.

What does a writer do between drafts of a story? Well, that depends.
I finished a first draft of my upcoming fourth story in my Shelter of Secrets series for Harlequin Romantic Suspense. It still needs some work, but it’s currently in the hands of my excellent beta reader.

I’ve had a fun few weeks–including my usual writing. Plus, I heard that the Dog Writers Association of America, of which I’m a member, was looking for humorous articles for their upcoming issue of RUFF DRAFTS, their publication, so I of course had to submit a short article about how my puppy keeps me from concentrating on my writing by insisting that I play fetch with her while I’m sitting at the computer. Humorous?

I recently got word that my next Alaska Untamed Mystery, CRY WOLF, number two in the series, is now scheduled for publication on November 7. I love the cover! And the series is the first in which I’ve taken a pseudonym: Lark O. Jensen.
It’s not my only remaining book this year. I was already aware that my Coltons of New York book for Harlequin Romantic Suspense is also a November release. CSI COLTON AND THE WITNESS is officially out on November 27.

Linda,
What a great post – and yes, you do indeed make "being a writer" sound like so much fun! Thanks for all the info! And I thought the same thing as Louisa when I read your post – writing is not so solitary as it seems! Rock on, and have fun at all your events!

Festival of Books is so much fun. I hope both of you have a blast.

Well, the writing part tends to be solitary, Louisa–but then there's all the rest! Hope to see you at LATFB. This will be my first year going to the USC campus since it moved from UCLA.
I thought they said that writing was a solitary activity? Sounds like you have some great events coming up. I want to go to the Festival of Books!
