Had enough of the Anticipation theme? Me, too. No condiments this time, just real news.
TACO ENCHILADA to Virginia Duncan at Greenwillow/HarperCollins, as part of a two-book deal. Publication is set for Winter ‘09, with ARCs available sooner.
To say that I’m delighted is like saying that cheesecake is, oh, pretty good.

My treat. But you’ve got to come to Idaho.
December 19th, 2007 at 4:02 pm
Idaho? I’ve never been there, except for that whole being born there thing. We left before my eyes were open.
December 19th, 2007 at 4:06 pm
Wow really? You were born here? It’s your birthright, man! Don’t you hear it calling to you?
I can’t claim the same. I was born in Wisconsin. Flat. Flat. Flat. There are some beautiful places here, though. If you like mountains and lakes, north and central Idaho are spectacular.
December 19th, 2007 at 4:08 pm
Oh, yah, in Pocatello, don’t you know.
December 19th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
Not too far from the derriere of the Tetons. It’s not too shabby down there either.
