I spent a lot of time today Thinking about the next book after This Seat’s Saved. I love dreaming about another middle-grade novel, and this time, I’m exploring a more in-depth theme of jealousy. I’m thinking of another animal appearing as well.

When you pitch an Idea to an agent or publisher, the first step involves character descriptions and chapter summaries. This you add to a proposal that includes a one-sentence summary and then a paragraph summary. You include a vision for the book and ideas for marketing and promotion.

So here I go. We’ll see what happens. I’m not sure where the writing will take me; I just know that Elita Brown’s story isn’t finished yet.
