Jenni, you are so awesome! Sorry I haven't replied, I've been coping with a rattlesnake-bit dog. Very scary. He's all right, though. Sort of. I'll post my list of 10 things that make me happy soon -- but you're definitely on it! OMGosh! Jenni, you are so awesome! Sorry I haven’t replied, I’ve been coping with a rattlesnake-bit dog.

Hi, and thanks for stopping by! You have a great website. Since you write YA, your pieces of string are longer than mine, BTW. Good luck getting to the end of one and selling it soon! Laura!

As far as adult v YA. I started with adult, then shifted to YA. My voice came out better that way. I'm not giving up on the adult stuff, so hopefully I'll be able to continue writing for both. I'm also just starting up my blog on what writing means to me and about psychiatry. (My two "careers.") How long is a piece of string? It's as long as it wants to be. :) I write fantasy and paranormal because I love it–those are the genres I lean toward when reading. As far as adult v YA. I started with adult, then shifted to YA.

The right one for right now, okay. I wonder if, when my boys get older, I'll start writing older stuff... Will you PLEASE let me be the judge on how your MG is going? :-) Come on now, I never said I was certain I was in the “right genre.” The right one for right now, okay.
