Tonight’s The Night
Regular blogging will commence shortly. I know I haven’t been popping in much to say much of substance here. Deadline hell looms, as always, and I’m getting everything situated for another school year, as well as cleaning house emotionally, so to speak.
BUT, things are calmer. Summer is winding down, which means the publishing world is picking up speed again, thank goodness. Tomorrow I’ll be writing about my path to publication, since that’s the theme of the week over at the Deadline Dames. (You can read Dame Devon, Dame Jackie, Dame Rachel, and Dame Keri from earlier this week!)
But today, I’m sending in a first draft (gods willing, if I get this done) and heading out to Beaverton for my 7pm signing at the Cedar Hills Crossing Powell’s. I will be reading from Defiance, book 4 in the Strange Angels series. (I am hard at work on the fifth and final book as we speak.) I will also be bringing prizes to be raffled off!
That’s about all the news. I’m going to dive back into this draft so I can hopefully give an editor a pleasant surprise before the weekend.
Hey, it could happen.
See you around!

Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday and signing my books. I love your personality. You totally rock! Can’t wait for Defiance–but first I must read the other books first(They were a birthday gift).
I will definitely be posting about this birthday on my blog.

Any chance someone caught video of you reading from Defiance?

The signing last night at Powell’s was awesome, Lili ROCKS! She read an entire chapter from Defiance, SQUEE!
I am not sure that anyone has video from last night because Powell’s frowns upon doing that.
My daughter was so excited to meet you, Lili. The signing with you was only the second one she has been to where she has actually read books from the author event.
She is almost done with Betrayals, now, and I am sure she will finish reading Jealousy by the end of this weekend. I wish I could have convinced her to do a little pose for the picture I took of you & her, but alas, she is too shy. 
I am looking forward to the next Jill Kismet book!
