Thank you for asking!

I have Crafty Diva's DIY Style Book coming out next month (its a tween crafting book that has cool projects like altered books and picture bracelets). It got such a positive response from bookstore chain buyers that the publisher signed me to make it into a series. The next one is the Crafty Diva's Ultimate Makeover Guide (May 2005) - it combines cooking, crafting and finding your inner charisma. I love it because as a mom of an 11 year old, I want to counteract all the crazy peer pressure stuff she sees on tv! So a lot of the topics are geared towards building self esteem/creativity at a young age.

I still waiting to hear back from the DIY wedding book that went out to major trade publishers through a book broker. There are still four houses that are considering it, but haven't made up their mind. It was kinda hard because the book broker did the proposal, not me. I *know* if I had done it it would of had more of my energy and maybe would have been sold already...But all in good time. Maybe it isnt meant to be right now. It's my dream to someday do a title for a major trade. I'm working on a really fun novel right now, maybe that is when it will *happen* - who knows?
