A Safe Place to Land

Black HoleI finally finished the revision of Will Sparrow’s Road and sent it off to Dinah, my editor. She responded “You did it!” which I take to mean I am done done done except for miscellaneous jots and quibbles. It’s a relief to have Will gone but I also feel a bit lonely and at loose ends. I need to come up with another book to fill the emptiness he left. I have lots of ideas but nothing has taken me over yet. It’s sort of like floating in a space full of interesting sights and sounds but wanting only a safe place to land.
