Hey Barb that sounds cool! major kudos for the Stoppard reference.
I'm glad you have a real kid to base your homeschooler on, b/c as a previously homeschooled kid I can get kind of tetchy when it looks like a homeschooler in fiction was written by someone who did no research.
oh right, and update:
NEW WIP!
untitled/Endgame: Death may seem scary, but it's Endgame you should be worried about. He's the one who sets up how you die. Except--Death seems to be grabbing at power that isn't his. And there's this dumb teenage boy trying to take down Endgame to save his girlfriend. What?
Beyond Yesterday: stuck at 15k, but will return to it after the first flood of Endgame inspiration wears off
Straight on til Morning: on hold while I work on BY and Endgame
Just got beta back, by Karo. Commence hyperventilation.
It's unofficially official... My agent sold my book to Delacorte yesterday! So now I'm waiting for the contract and the editorial letter!
ADDED 2/27/08 (From Publishers Marketplace): Trish Doller's UNBECOMING, a roadtrip across America that starts as a punishment and becomes a romantic adventure, to Claudia Gabel at Delacorte, in a nice deal, by Kate Schafer at kt literary (NA).
Beyond Yesterday--the story of a 17-year-old mass-murdering telepath and the 13-year-old girl prodigy telepath being forced read his mind/collect his memories for scientific research.
