And I have three more currently being negotiated, so by the end of 2009, Wings will be set to be published in 25 foreign countries. Can we say better than I ever dreamed of? *swoon*
Tons of people have been asking about the movie. Sadly, the movie industry moves about as slowly as the publishing industry. But the good news is, we are still moving! Still progressing! Things are happening and we are still heading in the right direction! (How's that for a vague update?!?!)
Probably the biggest housekeeping announcement is that I am taking a break from email for the month of December so I can spend a bit more time with my family. Also, I am hoping most people are just too busy with the holidays to email me, so I won't miss very many.:D We are big Christmas people in my house and along with it being family time, I also make hand-dipped chocolates and truffles and that takes up a huge chunk of my time in December. So I won't be doing much writing or reading, just snuggling kinds and hubby and rolling in chocolate . . .er . . . I mean rolling fondant centers in chocolate. Yeah, that's what I mean.:D
I will still be blogging and tweeting, I just need a small break from emailing. If I have your email already, you'll get a response. But if not, wait till January to write me.:D And have a great holiday while you're waiting!
And lastly, don't forget Holidaze With the Debs!! Live in Chicago? Near Chicago? Near an airport than flies into Chicago?? Come see us!!! All info here!
It's going to be way fun! So come if you can!
Ciao!

I'm strangely craving pie now. Enjoy your month off from email. I can't fathom a month with out email. But you go girl for doing it! Happy Holidays!
I'm drooling over the pies:)
Congratulations on all of the foreign rights sales. That is amazing!
drooooool indeed.
Those pies look amazing. Congratulations on the 25 countries. I know how you feel about December as I also do hand dipped chocolates,. good luck
Congratulations on your fabulous success in so many countries. Wings is great and so you deserve it.
I wish there was a way for me to make those pies materialise. They look yummy and even though I've eaten plenty I'm now hungry from seeing them.
Enjoy your celebrations & family over December.

Hey girl, I am so thrilled about the class that you will be teaching at the writers conference in April! I already have my daily schedule planned out. Also, remember that you promised an interview with LDS Women's book review. We will catch you during the conference some time. Sound good?
