neck-high in edits while running on about 4.5 hours of sleep a night, fueled by green tea and way too much iced coffee, while still managing to get some exercise in every day to stay sane.

the kids are out for the summer as of this afternoon. i wonder how much i can squeeze in before two months of chaos kick in.

thought i’d take a quick breather and announce my awesome new book deal in germany:

June 27, 2011
		International rights: Children’s		German rights to Elsie Chapman’s THE ASSIGNMENT, to Droemer, by Alexandra Legath at the Silke Weniger Literary Agency on behalf of The Chudney Agency.

i’m amazed and delighted and so thankful.

now back to those edits…
