May 3, Houston: The big one -- the Inprint reading -- occurs at the Alley Theatre on Monday, May 3. Do not miss it or you'll be sorry. I'm not kidding -- I'm going to say the craziest, most intellectual yet hilarious stuff I can think of, and I'll be sharing the stage with the ultra sexy Oscar Casares, too.
June 24, Houston: I'm one of the peeps scheduled to read at Poison Pen, at Houston's famous Poison Girl bar. Besides me, everyone there will be ultra, *super* sexy. Come see me and drink!
June 26, Washington, DC: I'll be reading at the American Library Association conference. Come on down.
My other blog: Go read my the Houston Chronicle parenting blog (or my ChronMomBlog, as I like to call it) and make sure my kids won't resent me more than other kids resent their own parents.
Buy my new novel, Lone Star Legend. Already did? Well, buy a few more for your friends, then. :)

Newsflash!I sold my fourth book today. Yay!
It's another kids' book, and it's called Sunflowers. (Assuming they don't change the title between now and publishing date.)
Anyhow. I'm happy.
Meanwhile
I'm also tired. And working like a maniac on many things. Hope to have more news soon. Until then, it's time to go to bed.
Lately I've been obsessed with the sugar-free Jell-O they sell in the cafeteria at my work. I crave it in a way that makes me suspect it contains sugar.
Really, I don't have much else to say. But I'm putting off going to bed because it feels so wrong, going to bed so early.
Actually, no. I've had a long day. Going to bed early feels right.

Hey, that's so cool! Big congrats. I recommend your first book all the time.
Also, I'm obsessed with sugar-free jello. I make it at home and sometimes add mandarin orange segments. Fancy!

Kaijsa: Have you tried making it with diet soda instead of cold water? That makes it even awesomer, I find.
