Amy - Wren: independent, innovative, stubborn. (I agree with S & B on self-aware) Gabriel: solid, partner, wry (also yes to challenging)
You did write them well. I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll do next.

I asked a couple people for off-board ~ma, one of whom kindly suggested I take it up here as well, so here I go - ignore if this is a repeat.
A story has been sitting on an editor's desk for a while - and I'm hoping this mean good things, and not lost things. Any acceptance~ma you all have to spare would be appreciated. Or, you know, fingers crossed, candles lit, etc.

Glass Heart seems to be the new title for the sequel to Cold Kiss. I am incredibly underwhelmed. (My working title was Dark Stars, and it really grew on me, even in terms of theme. But it was deemed too "sci-fi." Um.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

“Not dead yet!”
Huh, Amy-- I dunno, Glass Heart doesn't sound like much on the surface but it's the kind of title that could really sing with the right kind of cover. And they totally did right by you with COLD KISS, so...

Art Crawl!!!
I was reading Hoxton Handmade's blog and came across her post about the Ministry of Stories which is a children's writing program that Nick Hornby set up after being inspired by David Eggers 826 Valencia project in San Francisco. I love the shopfront!
