osprey_archerWork is progressing on The Time-Traveling Popcorn Ball. Major edits are done; I’m hoping to get it all copyedited and put in the paperback format before I talk to my cover designer at the end of April.
My plan right now is to release the book at the beginning of June. It will probably be ready earlier, but this way I’ll have plenty of time to get the proof copy and actually weed out the typos before the book is available to the general public.
Also considering posting a chapter on DW (or two chapters? They’re fairly short chapters) every Tuesday for maybe three weeks before the book drops.
In the meantime, I’m working on the blurb.
***
Eleven-year-old Piper’s been having a rough 2013. But when Piper chases a popcorn ball fifty years back in time, she meets Rosie, who greets Piper as an old friend. Although this is Piper’s first visit to the past, it’s far from the first time that Rosie has visited Piper. As Rosie explains to Piper, “It’s time travel! Do you expect things to happen in order?”
The two girls swiftly become best friends. Together they eat cake, make snow angels, talk about books, slip back in time to witness a bootleggers’ shootout, and learn how to fly during a lengthy trick-or-treating session on Halloween.
But Piper’s sister Angela doesn’t believe that Rosie exists - and soon Piper herself is worried that she won’t be able to visit Rosie much longer. Piper, Rosie says, is always eleven during their visits… and soon Piper will turn twelve.
