I’m busily working away on my current writing project and having a lot of fun with this new world and new characters, hooray!

It’s been consuming my life pretty completely, however, so I’ve been on a hiatus from internet things that is likely to continue until September.

In the meantime, here, check out this fantastic documentary I saw recently on the lives of several kids involved with the traveling youth circus Circus Smirkus. I was lucky enough to see a showing, along with a short performance by some former members. There’s a trailer too, to give you a taste.

I’m hoping to see the 2011 troupe live later in August, when they come to Freeport ME!

And speaking of traveling youth circuses, here’s something I added to my website a little while ago: the first chapter of CIRCUS GALACTICUS. Whee! It’s hard to believe it’s going to be coming out in a little over three months. And I’ll be back with some other circus-related-niftiness in September, once I’ve finished my current draft.

Hope you are all having a great summer!

[Edited to add: I'm noticing some considerable delays loading pages on my website. My apologies if you have similar issues -- I'm looking into it!]
