Yes, I know it's been a while. There's been a lot going on, though not a lot publishing-related, I'm afraid.

My latest novel, Shadow of an Oak, is out at publishers right now searching for a home. It's about a teenager, Leonie, who discovers that the children of the old Ojibwe gods and the Norse gods who came with the immigrants in her hometown of Minneapolis are now fighting for control. It has trolls, and magic drums, the world tree, and hockey. What more could you want in a book? :)

While it's been shopping around I've start work on a new book, Sombres y Fantasmas, or Ghosts and Shadows in English. It's about an American exchange student in Argentina who begins seeing the ghosts of the victims of the Dirty War. The research for this novel is eating my brain, though it's fascinating there were a lot of terrible things done during that time period and it's not always light reading.

Books I've enjoyed recently; O.R. Melling's the Faerie Chronicles, City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau, and Laurie Mark's Earth Logic and Fire Logic (for adults).

If you've tried to email me through my website my inbox has crashed and I can't get ahold of my web guy to get it back up. Sorry :( Just leave a comment here and I'll respond.
