I've been taking it easy the last couple of weeks, enjoying having my daughter home for the summer, painting and refinishing furniture, and gathering boxes of necessities for the apartment she'll be moving into this fall.
But I did manage to submit the proposal for Book Number Eight in the Sebastian series, tentatively entitled Who Bells the Cat. My editor is most enthusiastic, so all I need to do now is, um, write it.
And if you're curious about the rose pictured above, it's my favorite of my four dozen or so old roses, the gloriously fragrant and deliciously named souvenir de la malmaison.

Hanging out with Napoleon now? ;-)
Tres Charmant! And a rose name "memories" is so apropos for the garden of a writer.
Also happy to hear that your are enjoying the last days of spring, and that we, your readers, can look forward to more Hero and Sebastian adventures!
glad to hear there will be another Sebastian book. I want to get another 2 or 3 built up and have another nice run of the series like I did for 3, 4, and 5.
Oh my, I love that title. And the roses...
When will book #8 come out? I know I am looking far into the future, but I tend to do that with books I love!
sounds like a much needed break...love the rose

Sounds delicious...
Ah, that pesky writing thing...
The roses are beautiful-- I wish I could grow things. I have the world's blackest thumb.
Did the doves leave the nest? How many babies were there? Do tell us the rest of the story.

Beth, ha!
paz, it's a shock to remember we're still technically in spring. The weather gods seem to thing it's the dog days of August.
Charles, I'm already pondering #9...
vp, Oh, good; no one else remarked on the title!
Anon, right now they're saying March 2013, with #7 coming March, 2012
Liz, I definitely needed to clear my head.
Steve, I just heard about the latest earthquake. Yikes!
Barbara, things either grow like weeds in New Orleans, or they die. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground.
Diana, there were two babies, and they flew within a week. It always surprises me how fast they grow. I did take some pictures; now I just need to find them.
Ohhh, book eight! And the rose is gorgeous!
Orannia, thank you. And you might be interested to know that I've lately been working on the idea for book #10...
