Fleur, I love this so much, as you can imagine. I’m also a lifelong library supporter and when I get back to Chicago, I try to stop in at all of the libraries of my childhood, my children’s childhood, my days teaching where I would meet with students … 😊

Fleur, good to see good news out here in the world! I'm excited to get a copy of your new NF project when it's published, How to Write Your MG & YA Mystery, and of course want more details on the book you hope to finish in May. :) And is this your first YA book?

It's the second book in a trilogy; the first is out on submission right now... I may end up publishing it independently :-)

That's exciting being on submission! Eager to read another book by you! And love to hear your journey with this however it comes about--trad, hybrid, indie. I've gone indie myself this year. It's a wonderful time with choices in publishing that work best for you. I let my 2nd agent go, pulled back on subs, created my own press, and built a great team around me with a designer, formatter, editor and publicist. I have 15 books in various stages and just want to produce quality books and get them out there. At 56, no more waiting :)

I love your take-charge attitude! Very inspiring. I agree with the no more waiting--it's just out of control...
