Heat, New Jobs and Alibi Junior High

After a winter with the biggest, longest snow fall Portland has ever seen, we have one of the longest, hottest heat waves we've ever seen. Here in Tigard, we've reached 110 degrees two days in a row. Our house has been dark for so long, I could have giant dust bunnies getting ready to attack and I wouldn't know it. Pretty bad when today it's going to cool down... to 100! Watering our plants and keeping them alive has turned into a full time job.

Speaking of jobs, I scored TWO in the last week. One teaching in a brand new afterschool program and another stocking at JC Pennys. Don't ask me how I am going to get any writing done, but I'm sure it'll all sort itself out. The stocking job ends about the same time the other begins, which works out nicely.

Now check out this book! I love boy books and will be sure to pick this one up!



Thirteen-year-old Cody Saron has never lived in one place longer than a few weeks, and has never attended a regular school. Growing up on the run with his father, an undercover agent for the CIA, Cody has traveled the entire globe; he speaks five languages, and he has two black belts. What Cody isn't prepared for is...junior high.

When the danger surrounding Cody's dad heats up, Cody is sent to stay with the aunt he's never known, Jenny, in her small Connecticut suburb. Cody has no idea how to fit in with other kids, how to handle his first crush, or how to make it through a day of classes.

As Cody struggles to adapt to the one thing he's never experienced -- a normal life -- he starts to fear that his father's world has followed him and no one he loves is safe. Greg Logsted weaves together action, humor, and heart, building to a surprising revelation about what Cody has always believed to be true.

I go back to work in two weeks (I work for the school district). I also registered for a novel class at the JC that meets weekly, so, like you I'm wondering how/when I'm going to write. We must compare notes and support.

I understand how you feel. I have the first draft of book 3 finished, but haven't been able to go through it and fix it (it's a mess). Full-time job and school kills writing time. School is over in 3 weeks though and book #3 in #1 priority. I hope you can create a schedule and carve out some writing time. Not writing feels like #%*!

Congrats on the jobs, Teri!
