seriously, this year is moving too fast!
i spent part of january teaching at vermont college of fine arts. this was my second winter residency and, again, the campus looked absolutely beautiful covered in all that snow... and ice! these residencies are so inspiring; they're just what a writer needs to recharge the creative battery (so to speak!)
after the residency, i had a short trip and some school visits, and now it's february 1st and it's time for me to turn my attention back to my middle-grade-novel-in-progress. because time is flying and my deadline is fast approaching!
which reminds me of my favorite quote from douglas adams:
"i love deadlines. i like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."

One of my students wants to know if the book you're working on is a third one about Tyrell.
@Mrs. Santiago - The book I'm working on now is for younger readers, but I guess I have to write another TYRELL book!
So, yes, there will be another book about Tyrell, but I'm not sure when it will be out yet! :-)
Im Half Way Thru Tyrell ! I LOVE ( It ) .
cant wait i love tyrell books ! :)
We just finished reading Bronxwood today in my class. The kids already making inferences as to what will happen between the Tyrell/Jasmine romance. The majority of the class voted that they think the characters will elope. Guess we'll have to wait to find out. "Aye Dios Mio!" :)
This is just what I was looking for. I did not expect that I’d get so much out of reading your write up! You’ve just earned yourself a returning visitor.
Please please come out with a third, fourth, and fifth tyrell book and can you possably show his face i really want to know what it looks like! I love troy and jazmine and regg! I was so happy when i saw that they had the book at my school! Please keep writing!!:)
Thanks for all the comments. I guess I HAVE TO write another Tyrell book now!!!
Stay tuned for more information!
