Okay, so it's been four months. (Er, I've been busy?)
Actually, I have been busy, what with (still) unpacking from moving, the holidays and the January 2, 2007 release of my new thriller Such a Pretty Girl (written by me, Laura Wiess, (i before e) published by MTV Books/S&S) . That said, I'm glad to be back.
It's been a wonderfully crazy time, and I owe sincere thanks to so many people (readers first) for making Pretty Girl's debut week such a thrill. Because...(and this just came through hours ago) Pretty Girl is going into a second printing!
Wait a minute. Every time I think about this, I have to put my head on my knees and breathe slooowly.
Because a second printing means Meredith's terrified, desperate struggle is being read, and talked about. Which is good news for those who have been or still are stuck in a similar, real-life nightmare of their own. Which means more people are aware, and will perhaps look a little closer at circumstances they didn't want to acknowledge before.
Fingers crossed that somewhere, someone has just received what fifteen year-old Meredith, the main character in Such a Pretty Girl, yearns for most:
An adult to stand between her and danger, and shout NO.
See what I mean about thanks?
