Some of y’all know that I’ve long aspired to write thrillers. Last Thursday, just before I headed out for the KWA Scene Conference, I heard from my editor at Who Dares Wins Publishing that they will publish my thriller LOST AND FOUND probably this fall (date tba). SNOOPY-DANCE-O-JOY!

Animal behaviorist September Day has 24 hours to find her autistic nephew and his service dog before he–and hundreds of other children–become victims of a deadly experimental autism treatment. And yes, there is “dog voice” as well as a highly-trained kitty, along with assorted quirky two-legged characters in the book.

To say I’m thrilled is an understatement. But today I also learned that I’ve been accepted as an ITW Debut Author in the Class of 2012/2013. When I got that email I bawled. With happiness, of course. Even after having New York publish 23 of my pet care nonfiction books, getting the "yes" for fiction really means a lot!

But that really upset the Magical-Dawg. Any tears upset him, even happy tears. And yes, the hero dog in the fiction came about by channeling my inner dog/cat. *s*

Anyway, I had to let y’all know my news. It’s been an “on top of the world” to “worry-icity” to “floating-again” sort of week. Sometimes you reach for, grab, and actually catch the brass ring.

That reminds me, audio to the songs from KURVES THE MUSICAL has been posted with pictures from the performance--and with this news I'm singing this song "Dreams For Sale" really loud:

If I can do it, you can do it too!…
