I'm blogging my novel, Madison, After. Go here to see it. Start with the very first entry at the bottom of the nav bar. Why am I blogging my novel? I wrote this novel in a heat wave. I love it. I can't let it go. I want to go back to it every week and present it like a new toy.

Madison, After is post (very post) apocalyptic. Dystopian. But it's also rooted in a romance tradition--in fact I was going for the feel of a particular Victoria Holt novel I used to love. I talk about it a little more on the blog. I started writing Madison for the reader I was at fourteen but ended up writing it for the person I am now. Did I mention I wrote it in a white hot, sweaty heat? What a summer.

Does blogging the novel preclude Madison from ever seeing the light of day as a published cardboard and paper unit available in your local feed store? Good question. I really hope it finds a little wire rack of its own, next to other crazy-fun girl sci-fi novels. But until that time, Madison is my personal toy, and her world is my playground.
