Mid-month Update
By Vivian Arend
Partly so I can believe that I’m actually moving forward!
What I’m writing:
-Six Pack Ranch #5. If all goes well this will be out sometime next May/June, so that shows how far ahead of time I’m working right now. Tentatively I have the word Rebel in the title…we’ll see if that sticks, but so far it’s working well. I don’t want to give spoilers since book 4 isn’t out yet, so that’s all I’m going to say right now.
-Preparing for the release of SILVER MINE. There has been a lot of interest and positive response to the second in the Takhini series, and I’m so pleased. The series is like the best of both worlds to me–there’s some teeth in terms of substance, but tons of time for the light-hearted, crazy antics of the wolfies. SILVER MINE is out September 11. I need to write up a few more blog posts to share with people.
What I’m waiting for:
-Cover for HIGH RISK and cover copy. I’m longing to share this with you, but since it’s not out until March I’ll just have to be patient. I guess.
-Edits on HIGH RISK
-official confirmation on another book–not telling you until it happens!
What’s next:
-after the cowboys are done I’ll be returning to the north with book 3 in the Takhini Wolves series. Then the next in Adrenaline, then another cowboy
-I’ve decided to start on a sekrit project. I haven’t had one of those in a while, and they always invigorate me. Will you like it? OH YES!
But I can’t tell you more because…it’s SEKRIT, silly!
In other news:
-no, I’m not starting a street team any time soon. I’m cutting back in some ways on social media (except for my twitter addiction) to keep up with the writing I want to do AND the house building AND enjoying family time. I love that there are readers who are sharing that they enjoyed my books. Thank you for that. It means the world to me.I simply have to keep my life limited to make it enjoyable and keep moving forward.
-next public outing: well, right now the next official event I’ll be attending is the RT conference in Kansas City next spring (2013) I do have a few other things in the works–ie if I end up traveling somewhere on holidays I’ll let you know ahead of time and see if I can set up a book signing at a local store.
That’s it for now. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments and I’ll add the answers!

Mini squeee-I am going to try and go to RT myself, since it is just a few hours by train from here. Can’t wait.
Oh, and the wolfies (Granite Lake and Takhini) will be getting a feature on my blog right about release time for Silver Mine, if that is okay.

This is awesome! One of the reasons I love they move the conference around from year to year–gives more people a chance to visit!
