And yeah…I suppose the frowny face was a bit too avant-garde for the haiku form ;)

On the plus side, it has made my day again! Hold on. My inner grandmother’s voice just chided me for finding an upside to being tardy with a thank you. Oh dear. Yikes there she is again. At least I HOPE that’s what’s going on. The alternative is that “Oh dear” is now a go-to part of my regular vocabulary. Must go now and proactively swear a bunch to right the world here.

Never mess with the simple perfection that is haiku. Not that you cannot–you are a haiku genius–but those of us who have lesser haiku skills suffer!

I really AM working on the Underdead series; it’s just slow as life has intervened, as it sometimes does. (If I could sic a rabid team of vampires on the obstacles that have popped up, trust me, I would.) The first draft of the third book is done (and waiting in a drawer for fresh-brained editing) and the fourth book is plotted. Meanwhile, I’m readying the first book in the Crimson series, a fish-out-of-water series about a rather nice girl from Pasadena, CA who learns on her 16th b-day that she is a princess–of darkness.

I plan to refocus on Underdead #3 later this summer, after my sister gets married. (Note that that is not one of the obstacles that needs vampire intervention. Pity the vampire who would try to interfere with MY sister’s wedding!!! However, if they would like to work on getting my maid of honor dress altered, you know, do something productive in their free time, that would be great.)

In the meantime, I’ll let you in on something no one knows yet, the working titles of the next two Underdead books:

#3 UNDERDEAD WITH A VENGEANCE

and

#4 UNDERDEAD UNHINGED

They’re tentative only because I crack up every time I write the titles, which always worries me a bit. I get a wee bit twisted in my humor when I’ve been back in school for too long. Which is the case right now.

Have a groovy weekend!

–Liz

I saw that the books had been re-released? Please tell me the muse isn’t gone

On the contrary, the first three lines of my original comment are actually a haiku just for you :) I probably obscured its true nature by adding the fourth line where I hoped it heals soon, and probably the frowny face, too. Frowny faces, in particular, are non-standard haiku accessories.

Thank you so much! I wish I wrote as fast as you read. I expect to have Crimson in the VERY Wrong Fairy Tale out soon–I’m working on final edits and back cover copy these days. Oh. The. Joy. ;) Actually, I really like being at this stage in a book. And while Crimson is ostensibly a YA book, I think you might like it, too.

And to actually answer the question you asked, the third book in the Underdead series will probably be out at the end of the year. I’m back in school right now–as, ahem, SOME people can’t seem to get enough school and it turns out I’m one of them. Sigh. And there will be a fourth book in the series after that, which I’ve already plotted out. (Evil grin.)

Have a groovy rest of the weekend!

–Liz

You reference your great haiku gifts but withhold one for my papercut? !!!
