Got back from vacation this week and haven't done much of anything – nor, for the first time in a long while, do I have a new project on deck. In part, I'm waiting for the page proofs of "Grey Matters," which will pub in the UK in December (and the US soon after). And my agent has sent out "Dogs Don't Lie," my "pet noir," not that we'll hear anything till after Labor Day. And next month, "Shades of Grey," the first Dulcie Schwartz mystery, officially pubs in the US. So it's not like I haven't been busy (and I do have my hands full with various editing assignments, a nice change of pace). But I'm wondering what to work on next. Several readers have queried me about another Theda Krakow book, to follow up "Probable Claws." So maybe I should work on one of those. Or maybe in a few weeks, my Dulcie publisher will ask if I'm game to sign up for two more of those mysteries. Or "Dogs Don't Lie" will sell to a publisher who wants a sequel. Or maybe I'll be moved to start something entirely different.
It's Friday, so I'm definitely not starting anything today. But what should I do next? Wait for a clue from outside or....

I think you'll know what to do! Isn't it hard to get back to things after vacation????
It is!
I think one thing I have to do is start cutting back a bit on Musetta's food. She looks like a little bathmat, doesn't she?
We feed our older cats (one of whom could be Musetta's sister) twice a day, but the kitten is an on-demand eater with her om nom noms in the bathroom. The older cats are not pleased by these arrangements, and camp out by the door of the loo trying to feed their faces at every turn. They're 10 and 7 and both still plenty svelte, so it's all for a good cause.
