![]() ![]() Next year Gretchen is going to be branching out into other genres, but she'll always be one of my favorite YA mystery writers. (Have I mentioned I'm not much for flowery prose? D) What I like best about Gretchen's books is their compulsive readability-for me her stories are full of high-stakes tension and her prose is thoughtful and descriptive without slowing down the narrative or leading me into a dense metaphor jungle and leaving me there to die. I met her in real life at BEA 2012 and she is every bit as cool as her books. I love Gretchen McNeil :-) I "met" her as part of the Apocalypsies group when I was writing as Fiona Paul. ![]() But hey, it's still officially summer and I'm going to leave this contest going until the first day of fall. So my apologies because this giveaway is going up late. And all that stuff made me anxious, which made everything worse. And then there were doctor appointments and vet appointments and I don't even know what. ![]() It should have been some straightforward copy-edits for Vicarious but somehow I got sucked into this writer vortex of complex revisions and re-verifying technical stuff and second-guessing everything and biting my nails down to the nubs. ![]() Hi guys! Man, last week was pretty brutal. ![]()
