Two quickie things... my Katrina essays below ended up interesting a wonderful publisher of a sort of anthology book on New Orleans, and I'm very pleased to say he requested an essay and as of this morning, it was turned in and accepted, so yay! My understanding from seeing another book from this publisher is that it's going to be really beautiful. More when I know the pub date specifics.
Secondly, I'm madly nearing the end of the writing of the book, which is going well. The first half is already pretty much edited, so I'll have to continue that through the second half. I've been making notes to myself along the way of the things I want to check, the nuances, etc., so there is still work ahead, but I'm pretty much on target to finish it / polish it in time for the deadline to hand it to my editor. (My agent will get it early, of course.)
More rantings and ravings tomorrow(ish).
