I’m having some difficulty getting my blog page to post pictures, so unfortunately I won’t be able to display my awesome new cover of The Summer of You! But suffice to say, I’m working on it, and if you would like to see it, hop on over to my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/katenoblewriter. (and while you’re there, friend me!)
And we have a released date, too: April 6th, 2010. So mark your calendars, everyone! (Mom, you too.)
Left Coast Living is… different from the East. First of all, I have to drive everywhere. I used to read on the subways all the time, so now I’ve lost about an hour of reading time a day. Conversely, it’s gorgeous here. ALL THE TIME. Why would I want to be reading on a subway when I could be out crossing a beautiful canyon? But this is a problem, because I got a bunch of books at the RWA conference this year, and these are the books I would normally read on the subway. I’ve got everything from Deanna Raybourn to Amanda Quick.
So here’s my question for you: where should I start?

Hi all — Its been a hectic couple of weeks: turned in my last project, and then shortly thereafter learned that I am going to be moving. Across country. In less than a month.
Oy.
I’ve been packing. Lots of packing. I had eleven boxes that were just books. I don’t know if I should think that is an extreme amount or a severe dearth, but if it’s the latter, I’ll be making up for it because……………
I’m at RWA in Washington DC!
Land of Books in the Land of the Free!
It kicked off today with the massive Literacy book signing, where I sat and met with wonderful people who stopped by, including Mandi from http://smexybooks.blogspot.com and Katiebabs from her blog at http://kbgbabbles.blogspot.com
It was wonderful meeting everyone at the signing, and I’m looking forward to tomorrow… when the fun (and conference) really begins.
Until then, happy reading!

Happy July everyone! I’ve been out of circulation for a little while, and the reason is summed up in one little compound word: deadline. I turned in, not 24 hours ago, my latest project! And while I look forward to getting feedback and notes from my trusted editor and agent, I also am DYING to go to the movies, and oh, I don’t know, read a book? My brain would benefit from a little time off.
But it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of time to benefit my brain, because in two short little weeks, is the RWA National conference in D.C.! I’m going to be at the Literacy Signing on Wednesday, July 15th, so if you’re there, stop on by, I would *love* to see you. But for right now, I think I might go by a huuuuuge tub of popcorn and hang out in a movie theater for a day or two.
Happy reading, everybody!

Wow – January went amazingly fast, didn’t it? I swear, my brain refuses to acknowledge its not 2008 anymore, let alone February. But, February is pretty awesome, because…
Its here! On Feb 3rd, Compromised is getting its second release, this time in mass market. (which is the smaller, totally able to throw in your bag and read on the subway/bus/treadmill size!)
This of course, begins the countdown for the March 3rd release of Revealed! I can’t wait to see it in the stores – it’s a bit surreal, to think this time last year I had just finished spilling the story from my brain onto paper, and now, it will shortly be covered and printed and have a barcode and everything. I know I’m still relatively new to this (Revealed being my second book) but I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it.
In other news, I just filled out my application for the 2009 RWA Conference, in Washington DC. I was so excited to go to San Francisco last year, but being an East Coast girl, I have to admit its nice to just hop on the train. Plus, I haven’t done DC since I was in middle school. I am looking forward to the chance to see Dorothy’s shoes and the Hope diamond almost as much as I’m looking forward to the conference.

I missed blogging last week, and I am going to duck responsibility and totally blame my crazy schedule. My day job kicked into overdrive just as my proposal for book 3 was due, as well as preparing for San Francisco in two weeks! Yes, I’m going to the Romance Writer’s of America National Conference this year, and I can’t wait! I’ll be at the literacy book signing, so if you’re going to be there stop on by and say hello! I’m also looking forward to having a drink with my agent and my editor, sitting in on a couple of really cool workshops, hearing the speakers, and losing my capacity for speech in front of my favorite authors. I’m bringing an extra suitcase just for the books I intend to get. Hope to see some of you there!
(side note: Saw the Dark Knight yesterday. Totally Awesome.)

I have to say, these past few weeks of sending Compromised out into the world have been great. But imagine my surprise when I discovered I still have to go about my life. Shocking, I know! I assumed that as a Published Author, I wouldn’t have to do the mundane things like… grocery shop. Or laundry. I mean, don’t Published Authors have people to do that for them? I shouldn’t have to go for the gym, someone should go in my place whilst I recline gracefully on my chaise and reap the benefits… no? That isn’t how it works? Sigh. Oh well.
On of the many day to day things that I have being doing is pondering the next book. Book 2 is already with my fabulous editor, so now is the time to be germinating, ruminating, perhaps even ratiocinating on Book 3. And I have some characters laid out that I like. And I think I have a story – it might need to develop a little more, but thicker plot generally (for me) comes out of the writing process. But in any case, its time to get a move on. Tomorrow is spring.
In other news, I signed up to go to the RWA National conference in San Francisco this summer! I’ve never been to a national conference before, so I’m very excited and deeply nervous. If anyone has been and can offer advice, my ears are open…
Happy writing –
