Fresh Starts
It’s fall! Okay, I may not go by the calendar, but I know when the light changes, the air carries a feeling of excitment and smells of apples. Maybe I’ve taught school for too long, but there’s nothing like fall for fresh starts. So it’s with a just a little bit of trepidation and a great deal of eagerness that I begin writing the last book in the WolfProof trilogy.
The last book has to bring the adventure together for the characters and the readers. All of the hints dropped in Wolfproof and The Travelers’ Market come together, and Timothy, Sarah and Jessica have one final adventure that we, the readers are privy to. I’m sure that they still have many adventures together after the reader closes the cover of the last book in the trilogy; we just don’t get to come along.
Did you notice that I keep calling it the last book? That’s because there is no title yet! I’m still keeping my ideas to myself. Remember that The Travelers’ Market comes out next summer, and hopefully the final book, soon after.
Speaking of fresh starts… It’s time to begin school visits. I’ll be talking to teachers in
“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children. “
