It’s been about a week now since I submitted a proposal for a panel for RWA National’s 2014 Conference in San Antonio, Texas. Will it be accepted? I certainly hope so.

The proposed topic? It involves writing concurrently in multiple genres or subgenres.

The fellow panelists I proposed include a delightful and successful agent (my agent!) plus a RITA finalist and a bestselling author. Their credentials exceed mine–but then again, I’ve had a lot of books published so far, with more to come. And recently I have found myself juggling them a lot among multiple genres.

So, my fingers are crossed that our panel is accepted. Will I attend the 2014 conference if our panel isn’t accepted? I hope to!

I realize I’m posting this when it’s now too late for you to come up with an idea and propose it. Sorry! The deadline was November 1, five days ago–and that’s why this is still on my mind.

How about you–are you attending the RWA National 2014 Conference? Did you submit a panel proposal?

A Break from Writing? Not Really.

What does a writer do between drafts of a story? Well, that depends.

I finished a first draft of my upcoming fourth story in my Shelter of Secrets series for Harlequin Romantic Suspense. It still needs some work, but it’s currently in the hands of my excellent beta reader.

I’ve had a fun few weeks–including my usual writing. Plus, I heard that the Dog Writers Association of America, of which I’m a member, was looking for humorous articles for their upcoming issue of RUFF DRAFTS, their publication, so I of course had to submit a short article about how my puppy keeps me from concentrating on my writing by insisting that I play fetch with her while I’m sitting at the computer. Humorous?

I recently got word that my next Alaska Untamed Mystery, CRY WOLF, number two in the series, is now scheduled for publication on November 7. I love the cover! And the series is the first in which I’ve taken a pseudonym: Lark O. Jensen.

It’s not my only remaining book this year. I was already aware that my Coltons of New York book for Harlequin Romantic Suspense is also a November release. CSI COLTON AND THE WITNESS is officially out on November 27.
