In full edit mode...

Now that Leaden Skies is off with my publisher (the wonderful Poisoned Pen Press), I'm turning about 90% of my writing/editing focus on projects under contract (the other 10% being reserved for blogs, email, Facebook——which I'm still learning——and such).

I'm editing a nonfiction ms right now and have become quite obsessed. Obsession is necessary, when in full copyedit mode. I'm merciless with dangling participles, subject-verb agreement, anarchic capitalization, questionable italics and quotemarks, so on and so forth. My 15th Edition of the Chicago Manual of Style is getting a workout.

And here's a photo for the season, taken by ice-climber William McConachie. It's the Sierras, not the Rockies, but I can dream... And look at those leaden skies!
