(Possibly) My Next Writing Project

I never said much about my trip to Balticon, but I had a great time and made some great contacts. The most interesting news I learned is that a publisher is putting out Stargate SG1 books, and has been for several years. I hadn't heard this before because it's a British publisher, and the books are not widely available in the United States. But I would really, really love to write one.

This could solve my dilemma over my next project. I keep trying to work on my two back-burner novels and the occasional short story, but when I do, I feel guilty because I don't have publishers for them, so I'm not making any money. So I start thinking I should contact my nonfiction editors again to get another nonfiction book contract. Except that I don't want to be writring nonfiction right now. I want to write fiction. I'm a longtime Stargate fan, so this could be a great option.
 
I e-mailed the editors today. Fingers crossed.

Best of luck. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Friend Me My To-do List Memories

Who Am I?

I am a published author of 28 books for children and young adults, a former magazine editor, and mom to a second-grader. My published works include 20 books for Sweet Valley High and other teen fiction series, all written under pseudonyms. My nonfiction kids' books, written under my own name, are on topics ranging from Dragons to Stonehenge to the Cherokee Indians. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, drawing, photography, traveling, overthrowing the governments of small countries, befriending dragons, slaying demons, and picking out Legos from under the couch.
