My editors are nearly done reading The House With the Wraparound Porch. One wrote that it’s “the best piece of writing I’ve ever edited….” Can’t wait to finalize the cover design with my artist, too. The book should be out by late May/early June!

Interview: At The Inkwell
Posted by MaryPatFeb 22
I was interviewed recently for the writers blog called At The Inkwell. This is a good new blog that features author interviews, book reviews and a calendar of readings in New York City. In the interview I discuss my new novel The House With The Wraparound Porch. Read the interview HERE.
This week I completed the second edit of the novel. Today I printed out the manuscript, and after one last read it’s off to my editors! Can’t wait to see this in print. The story is the longest I’ve ever written—right now it’s at about 109,000 words. It will be interesting to see if it keeps that length in the final version.
