So this is my last Friday post. I’ve decided to take more time to work on my writing and enjoy my family before they’ve all moved to other parts of the world. My nieces have already left California. One to England and one to Spain. Maybe I can bank some of these Friday hours and pay them a visit.
I have loved Celebrating Small Things and I will continue to do so, just not here and just not on Fridays.
Today I’m visiting a wonderful writer, Kirby Larson. She has let me talk about this thing we call writing and publishing. If you have a moment, stop in and say hi. She’s a wonderful person to meet.

On this last Friday, I’m celebrating the launch of another Young Adult novel. Sudden Secrets (Evernight Teen) will be born 19 Dec 2014. As always I’m excited to see another book out and terrified at the same time. Guess what I’ll post about on the first Wednesday in January?
I hope to have my cover soon, and if anyone has space on their blogs and time to post something, I’d love to share what this book’s about with your readers. You can let me know if you’re up for helping me spread the word by telling me so in your comment. I’ll get in touch and work out the details individually.
Adios Fridays. It’s been fun.
Medeia Sharif says
That is tomorrow! Happy release week. Enjoy time with your family.

Paying your nieces visits to England and/or Spain sounds wonderful. Psst…I think you've earned travel like that, too. 🙂 I'm so excited for your next release! Congratulations, CLee.

Hey celebrity author, Lee,
My arrival has been marked with a trumpet fanfare. Did you hear the trumpets?
Thus, dear lady, your new book will soon be born to an expectant world. Always good to have a release. In my case, a governor's pardon might have a lot of bearing.
Gary, somewhere in England and still your starstruckest fan!
