(reply to Kristy’s comment)

Well, Kristy was kind enough to indulge me and ask what AM I working on next, so here it is in the squirreliest of terms:

A YA thriller/romance (surprise! — get used to those) about a girl from LA who has to deal with the unexpected death of her best friend.

Three ways this book has challenged me:

1. The main character doesn’t need me as much as Alexis did (sob!) — she has a much better developed sense of who she is.
2. It has a deceptively simple mystery underlying it — which means lots of hiding and hinting and planning ahead.
3. It involves journals and diaries and I’ve had to learn to work those into the narrative smoothly.

So anyhoo, there you go! That’s all I’m saying.
