WAHHHHH-HOO!

[Peg Herring]

If an author needed motivation to rev up work on the second book in a series, great reviews might do it. I'm thrilled with the reviews of HER HIGHNESS' FIRST MURDER in PW and LJ this week, and I'm fired up to finish the sequel, which had gotten to that "Muddle in the Middle" stage where it seems like nothing is going to work, ever. Honestly, I've done this often enough to know that I just have to keep going, but nothing boosts a person's motivation like positive feedback.

So as soon as I come back to earth, my butt's in the chair and this sequel is getting whipped into shape.

Congratulations. That would fire me up, too.

Bravo, Peg. Those Library Journal folks know a good book when they see it!
