I’ve been somewhat MIA lately. We’re moving next month and downsizing from a house to an apartment is all-consuming. Meantime, I have a MG mystery in submission, an adult mystery almost ready to go to my agent for her suggested revisions, and I’m 34K words in on the first draft of a YA mystery about an illuminated manuscript. Latest very odd note on that one: part of the plot turns on the MC’s possible relationship to a famous 15th century Spanish scribe, Alfonso de Zamora. I learned a few months ago through Ancestry that I could be related to a famous 15th century German scribe. Last week I learned I have several cousins named de Zamora. Cue Twilight Zone music.
