I've been busy. I turned in the next Detective Honeywell manuscript on March 1. Afterward, I spent most of the month taking care of boring non-writing stuff. Annual doctors' exams and tests that I'd been putting off. Tax preparation. Other necessary but uninteresting personal odds and ends. As the end of the month neared, Matthias and Emma were getting rambunctious inside my head, so I started drafting what is currently being called "Honeywell #4." 

It was kind of fun having only that one book on my plate. 

Of course, that didn't last long. Along came the cover art for the next Zoe Chambers mystery!

I love it!

Next, my developmental edits for Honeywell #3 arrived earlier this week. There aren't really a lot, but a few of them require a lot of thought. The changes will make it a much stronger book, but I'm now working on two different books at the same time. Draft Honeywell #4 in the morning, revise Honeywell #3 in the afternoon. 

Oh, and my line edits for What Comes Around are supposed to arrive in my inbox within the next few days. 

I've always said I can work on TWO books at the same time, but not THREE. I'm trying to get a lot of work done on #4 before those line edits drop, because that's the one that will have to go onto the back burner for a while. 

In other news, as if I didn't have enough on my mind, Kensi Kitty had a bad spell yesterday morning. She'd been doing great, and I hope this was just a blip because she's fine today. With less than two weeks until I head to Bethesda for Malice Domestic and the Agatha Award Banquet, I'm getting ready to teach The Dad how to give Kensi her pills. Wish us all luck!
