OK, I'm too busy. Here it is, September, the most beautiful month of the year in Albuquerque, and I hardly go outside the house except for my morning walk at sunrise. But so much is happening!
CLEOPATRA CONFESSES: Jacket design arrived, and it's gorgeous! I love it! A couple of weeks ago the copyedited manuscript arrived--not so gorgeous, just a lot of fact-checking. But it's done.
