STATUS: Excited. CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY is still on the NYT top 10 bestseller list for the fourth week. It can’t last forever but I’m going to be happy while Ally is still there!
What’s playing on the iPod right now? I COULD WRITE A BOOK by Harry Connick, Jr.
An awesome cover! Shanna and I got this late in the day yesterday. I have to say I love all the Enchanted Inc. Series covers but this one, this one is just perfect. I couldn’t resist posting.
And sorry to get you all excited because it won’t release until April 2008. Don’t worry. I’ll remind you then.
I also wanted to give a big shout out to a conference that is going to be happening in Denver at the Convention Center the week after next (Nov. 8-9, 2007). It’s an Executive Leadership Development Conference sponsored by the National Hispanic Leadership Institute.
Although most of the topics are about achieving successful corporate careers, there are quite a few workshops regarding publishing. One of them is being given by a good friend whom I met when she was working at Simon & Schuster several years ago. If you live in the area and this applies, you might want to check it out.

Excellent cover! My Blog Buddies and I discuss the Great Cover War on a regular basis, it seems. I think two of your other clients, Jana Deleon and Lisa Shearin, are both Two-For-Two. Lisa’s new cover is just gorgeous!
That is one awesome cover. 🙂
I have liked all the Enchanted Inc. covers and the new one is very cool! thanks for sharing it.
That cover is ALL kinds of adorable! Its the cutest thing I’ve seen all week and I’ve been looking at the photos on cuteoverload.com every day!!! LOL
Now I want to buy my OWN pet frog and dress him up in a little sherriff’s outfit!!
^_^
That is a great cover and being from Texas I am intrigued.
I’ll even admit that once upon a time a few wily Texas gals have had me under a hex.
Ack! Look at the frog with the hat! That’s the most adorable thing I’ve seen ever in the history of life.
