I’m back and I’m late with my first post since taking a break. This is going to be short and somewhat jet-lagged, but at least I found the keyboard and was able to turn on the computer.
News of the Day:
Double Negative is on Tour, starting today.

Just turned in my first line edits for Sudden Secrets to Evernight Teen. Book due out this month.
Burma is the colonial name for Myanmar, so I’m officially switching to Myanmar since I now know the people prefer it.
I have my A to Z Blogging Challenge theme and just have to write the posts, so hope I can post 2015’s Survivor Badge after April.
Great to be back. Will be around to say hi to everyone ASAP!

Lee,
Welcome back, and thanks for stopping by my blog upon your return! Yes, I've been busy traveling, too.
And I may just do the AZ this year. I have a perfect theme, easy-peasy…now to write the posts. The past two years have not worked out for me to participate. Third time's the charm, right?
Congrats on your book! Let me know further details…I'd be glad to help.
Take care,
Mike
DMS says
Welcome back! I can't believe how busy you are right now! Sounds like lots of wonderful things are happening. 🙂 Good luck and hope there aren't too many more edits!

Just some final punctuation and I'm done! Yay.
Julie Flanders says
Welcome back, Lee! Great to see you.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks so much, Julie. Here's to December.
Gina Stoneheart says
Welcome back! Your tour seems to be off to a great start! Four features in one day… pretty awesome.
I wish you the best of luck with your new book. I still have to read Double Negative. I'm hoping to catch up on my reading and reviews later this month.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Waving at you, Gina. Thanks for the visit. I'll be around to say hi soon.
Catherine Stine says
OMG, you are one busy lady! Another book with Evernight. Huzzah!!!!

Yvonne Ventresca says
Wow! I'm impressed that you have your theme.
Karen Lange says
Great to see you again! Take your time catching up. We'll be here.:)
Ava Quinn says
Welcome back! Lots of exciting stuff going on. You've really hit the ground running. 🙂 I don't think I'll be participating in AtoZ this year, but will try to get around to the bloggers who are.
Al Diaz says
Welcome back. Already have your A to Z theme? That's great and you'll be quite busy, I can see that. I saw some of your pictures. I loved them. Expect to see more. 🙂 Dragon Hugs!
Cherie Reich says
Welcome back! Best wishes on your newest upcoming book release!
L. Diane Wolfe says
Touring for one book with another coming out? You will be so tired by the time Christmas rolls around.
Jemi Fraser says
Can't wait for your next book!
Greg Pattridge says
I'm glad I found you. Looks like a great site. I'll be poking around here for a while to catch up. Have a super tour!
Lynda R Young says
welcome back, Lee!
I still call it Burma too, but I'm not a fan of change 😉
Lexa Cain says
Welcome back!! I'm so looking forward to your A-Z posts now, since I assume they'll be about Myanmar! Good luck on the blog tour and the edits. Evernight Teen is lucky to have you. 🙂
DEZMOND says
I still call it Burma, just like I still call Burkina Faso Upper Volta 🙂
Mason Canyon says
Welcome back, Lee. Glad to see you back.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks so much, Mason. Great to be here again.
Angela Brown says
Awesome that you're getting back into the swing of things with a tour, edits turned in and, hopefully, some sleep in there somewhere 🙂
C. Lee McKenzie says
I'm even keeping my eyes open this afternoon. Progress. 🙂
Jay Noel says
Welcome back. And yeah, what to call that country is a pretty sticky situation. The ones in power who destroyed the pro-democracy "rebels" changed it to Myanmar, even though the rest of the world still refers to it as Burma.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I wonder how Obama faired in his meeting with The Lady? We were in Yangon the same day. I didn't see anything that signaled his visit.
Christine Rains says
Welcome back and have fun on your tour! Congratulations! 🙂
C. Lee McKenzie says
I guess this is a good way to come back and re-enter.
Southpaw HR Sinclair says
Well, hallo there! Welcome back. Jet lag is a stinker!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Yay! You're here. Thanks for the welcome back.
Gwen Gardner says
Sounds like you had an interesting vacation! Welcome back. I just got back from two weeks in England/France and am still sorting out my time zone. I gotta quit the 4 a.m. waking schedule, lol. HOpe your tour is successful! Congrats!
C. Lee McKenzie says
The return trip seems to be the hard part of the journey. Glad you got away for some R and R.
Patricia Lynne says
Welcome back!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks, Patricia!
Sarah Foster says
Welcome back! Hope you had an awesome time. I'm actually planning my A to Z posts already, too. It's the first time I've ever been this far ahead of schedule.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Good luck with yours. I'm already getting nervous.
Natalie Aguirre says
Congrats on the tour. Awesome you're already planning for A-Z month.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I know better than wait until January. April seems to come right after that month.
Hilary Melton-Butcher says
Welcome back Lee .. can imagined your jet lag – your A-Zs 2015 will make a brilliant reading … sounds fun .. and yes … onwards with more books and marketing the others … take care, sleep, recover and see you shortly – cheers Hilary
C. Lee McKenzie says
Checked out your Pope and food post. Delightful as always. Thanks for stopping by.

Glad you're back, Lee! Missed you.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Thanks, Joylene. I was surprised how much I missed this community.
Bish Denham says
I KNOW you had a fabulous time, what an incredible place to visit. And now, you're already chomping at the bit to get back into promoting your books and working on another. I don't know how you do it!
C. Lee McKenzie says
You should see me! My wrinkles have wrinkles and Zombies run screaming when I turn the corner. Glad to be back.
Alex J. Cavanaugh says
Welcome back, Lee!!! You are kicking off your return with a bang I see.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I was never much of a runner. Now I see I have no choice. Glad to be back.
