I've just added an event page to this site.  The very first event listed in the Tucson Festival of Books next weekend, March 13-14, at the University of Arizona.  I'll be speaking a few times and probably buying more books than I should.  I keep telling myself that books are business expenses.

I just got the copyedited manuscript of Haunted Honeymoon at Casa Dracula from my editor.  Now I'll have to go through it with a blue pencil (editors get red ones) and hope I can catch most of the typos and errors.

My editor said that she'd like to go in a new direction for my cover, and I'm looking forward to seeing her ideas.  I'll share a cover as soon as it's available. 

Take care and keep warm!

I've just moved my website and changed up the design again.  Yes, this is the fun thing that I get to do in my few days off between handing in revisions to Haunted Honeymoon at Casa Dracula (coming out in October 2010) and starting my next writing project.

One of my readers recently commented that I hadn't updated my blog in months.  She was right.  My personal blog gets ignored, I'm afraid, but I do post most days on my Vampire Wire blog.  You can find me there and you can always email me at marta AT martaacosta DOT com.  I really do like to hear from readers.

My new editor just asked if I had any ideas about the cover of the next book.  That naturally sent me into my OCD looking at covers and trying to figure out what would work and what I like.  Sometimes I wish I had more in the way of a design sense.  At least I have words.  A lot of them.  Some of them even sensible.  Enjoy your weekend!
