Devi S. Laskar is trying to organize the chapters she’s already written for Book #2, Shadow Gardens. Thanks for the shout-outs this week The Millions & Lydia Kiesling and also to the Associated Press & Hillel Italie. The Atlas of Reds and Blues comes out Feb. 5. |

Layne Fargo finished the proposal for her second book! Now she just has to write it… |

Martine Fournier Watson saw her book on a list this week, when she was quite sure the list season would just quietly pass her by. Thank you so much to Early Bird Books for that! |
See you next week when we blog about our “bucket list” writing dreams.
