Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
Posted by vrleavittJul 15
I have no idea where she is. But I, Vanessa, have not been here lately and some of you are starting to wonder why. First off, thanks.
It’s good to be loved, or at least somewhat tolerated. Or maybe just wondered about very occasionally when you have nothing else to wonder about.
Anyway, writing wise, actually, I’ve been making good progress on the first draft of my new novel, which is very exciting. I love the rush that comes with meeting new characters and seeing how they get in and out of trouble. As I’ve said before, it’s almost like being in love.
I have been slack on many other aspects of my life though, mostly because my family is relocating to Florida from Virginia. This will be the biggest move we’ve ever done as a family so it’s been pretty daunting, but we’ll make it work. Until then, it’ll probably be pretty quiet around ye olde Coffee and a Keyboard. But don’t worry, we’ll be back very soon.
In the meantime, I hope you’re all safe and happy and enjoying summer!
Oh…and I don’t usually toot my own horn, but this is too big not to share. One of my favorite singers in the world, Martin Page, wrote about me in his latest blog. I’m still pinching myself!!!

Thanks, Louise!! I’m pretty excited. It’ll be a great move for my family and no more commute means more time to write, too. Yay!

V- I’m so bummed that you’re leaving! But this will be a great adventure. You’d better keep in touch! I will miss you.

Good luck with the move. That’s quite a haul.
How neat about the mention at Martin’s blog. I didn’t know you handled web design.
Try to have some fun while you’re moving!
