What's happening

Just in case you wondered if I fell off the face of the earth --
I didn't.

What I am doing is working behind the scenes on a new blog with a new focus and (gasp!) a new identity. You'll be the first to know when I launch it.

As I get closer to publication (every day is closer to publication, no matter how far in the future or what happens between now and then, right?), I'm thinking about branding and considering how best to present myself as a writer.

I'm starting with my blog. I'd like to put a little more focus on the issues I'm exploring and a little less focus on my bellybutton. To that end, I'm taking a short break as I figure out the best way to do it. I'm getting there, and I think you'll like it. Just to give you a hint of one thing you'll find, I'm planning interviews not only with authors who write about families in crisis, but with real-life ordinary people who've faced extraordinary dilemmas.

I can't wait to show you the new digs, and I hope you'll stick with me and tolerate the silence until then.
