Some of you clever folks noticed that I asked a Question of the Month this past Monday, rather than a Question of the Week.

Why? Because I will be spending the entire rest of the month focused on my edits so I can finally say the book is done and I gave it everything I had.

To buy me a little more time after that, someone is giving me a hand next month. I’m not going to tell you who the special guest is, except for he rarely gives interviews, so it’s a real honor to have him at LitPark. Four of his books have been chosen by The New York Times Book Review as Notable Book of the Year, and his current book was chosen as one of the Best Books of the Year by Newsweek, The Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times Book Review. I hope you’ll be back to hang with him.

Okay, I’m off. I will not be commenting or responding to any mail (i.e., please don’t send any, even encouragement) until my book is done.** Thanks for your patience and for your support.

And remember: This place is as much yours as it is mine, so enjoy yourselves. Chat away, read old interviews, enter the Little Truths Writing Contest again and again. (The deadline will be extended until midnight, Monday, March 10.) And I will see you on the other side of these edits. xo
