Writing is a little bit like pregnancy. You write … then WAIT. And WAIT… Then WAIT some more. Just when you think you can’t WAIT another day, the BIG DAY ARRIVES.

For me, that was yesterday when The Baby Chronicles hit the store shelves!

I wrote The Baby Chronicles in response to readers and to my editor’s request to find out what happened next in Whitney Blake’s life.  When I wrote The Whitney Chronicles, I had no plans to write a sequel.  I couldn’t let go of Whitney, Chase, Kim and Mitzi even after the book was complete, however.  Whitney Blake is a character who has many of my sensibilities and much of my sense of humor.  I was delighted to agree to a second book about her and her friends–it was like coming home to a place and to people I’d missed a great deal. 

This was also a wonderful opportunity to dig deeper into her wacky co-worker Mitzi’s personality and life.  Being ”with child” can be pretty hilarious sometimes (well, you either laugh or cry, I guess), and Mitzi is the perfect vehicle for the perils, pitfalls and pleasures of pregnancy.

 I hope that The Baby Chronicles makes you smile—or laugh out loud!
