Oh, it's been crazy these last two weeks! The catalog has gone to print, the next book, due to arrive in May, needs one final proof before it goes to print, and I've prepared everything at the office so that I can leave for a two-week vacation-- Sunday. Actually, it's not all entirely vacation. Though we'll be in Taiwan for a week and Japan for a week, we will meet Holly Thompson, the author of our Spring 2008 book, in Tokyo.
Isn't it funny how, in this age of email, we can work with parties anywhere in the world and get entire books published without ever meeting each other? Meeting any of the authors I work with is a real treat, and especially one who lives halfway around the world. Last year, when we were in Hong Kong, we just missed Roseanne Thong, who was on vacation herself. But this time, the planets have aligned and we will get a chance to meet Holly, a wonderful writer, whose book you will really love.
So we're off for two weeks. See you when I get back, if not sooner...
