We were in Monterey a few weeks ago and one night there was a terrible thunder storm that shook the house and cut the power, at least that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been told. I have no recollection. All I remember from that night are my dreams.<\/p>\n

In the first dream, a box of kittens had fallen from someone\u2019s car and there were tiny kittens running all over the freeway. I was driving and suddenly trying not to hit the kittens or the people who were trying to save them. They were so tiny with eyes closed and their mewing mouths. So tiny! Don\u2019t hit the kittens!<\/p>\n

In the next dream I\u2019d scored the lead role in a musical. I was wearing some kind of costume that may or may not have been made of paper mache, and I was about to go on stage without having practiced at all. Oh, and I\u2019m tone deaf. There\u2019s that too.<\/p>\n

Anxiety anyone? Apparently I\u2019m stressing about my upcoming readings and \u201cauthor signing\u201d events and wondering how we will keep a baby, a tiny little baby, from being run down by the speeding hatchback of life.<\/p>\n

Lots of things are happening over here. Lots of good things. No news on the adoption front, sounds like the waits are longer than ever. BUT, it looks like I\u2019m headed to New Orleans to party with 30,000 librarians at the American Library Association\u2019s Annual Conference<\/a> on June 25th. I\u2019ll have an author signing and a hopefully do a reading at a bookstore while I\u2019m there. If you know anyone in New Orleans, pass it on; let them know I\u2019m coming. More details later\u2026<\/p>\n

The first version of advanced (rough draft) copies of Who in This Room: The Realities of Cancer, Fish and Demolition<\/em> will be done on Friday. I can\u2019t wait to hold it.<\/p>\n

The katherinemalmo.com and katherinemalmo.com websites are under construction.<\/p>\n

The launch party and reading dates are being finalized for October. I get sweaty palms just thinking about them. Save the kittens!<\/p>\n

Finally, the lovely people at CALYX Books are making a video trailer for the book. What fun! Have you seen any book trailers that you really like? Any thoughts on what should be included?<\/p>\n
