I'm back from camping, hiking, and whitewater rafting with the kidlets. Much fun was had and only one punctured cornea. Thankfully, not mine.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We arrived safe and sound in Michigan last night around 8pm.
Everyone is well if not very tired of being in the car.

Trust my rage
I had mentioned last week in Natter that I was pregnant. However, I've had a miscarriage. I'm doing pretty well, better than I thought I would, so I don't really need hugs, but I thought I should let people know so that 5 months down the road, someone doesn't ask my due date and then feel bad/confused when I tell them.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
And, for those following, it's official. The following deal notice (or something similar) will appear in Publishers Lunch shortly:
Sold, Rock & Roll Never Forgets, the first book in Deborah Grabien's Kinkaid Chronicles mystery series narrated by ex-pat English superstar guitarist JP Kinkaid, to Ruth Cavin at St. Martins Minotaur, in a nice deal, for spring/summer 2008 publication. Agent, Kate McKean, Howard Morhaim Literary Agency.
So there you go. If you want updates, there's my livejournal or else email me through my newly-redesigned website, at www.deborahgrabien.com.
Cheers!

That surgery that Grace had six weeks ago? Noah needs the same surgery now. If the scheduling gods agree, it will be tomorrow Wednesday afternoon some time. Well wishes much appreciated.

I will be back home in CT from July 11-24, and ND will be joining me for part of that time. No idea yet when I'll be free and when I'll be busy, but I'd like to meet up with NYC folks and Boston folks at some point. I'll be emailing once I have more of a clue.
