There was a whole other world at night, one I’d been completely unaware of, and it made me start thinking about the people who chose to live in it, and how they found themselves there. I’d look out my window at three or four a.m.-times I was never coherent before motherhood-see a light on in the distance, and wonder who else was up, and why. I was up at all hours, feeding the baby, trying to sleep or trying to stay awake, and it got me thinking about the night, and how it can seem so long or so short, depending on what you have waiting for you in the morning. Or so I thought.Ībout three months after she was born, though, this idea started to come to me, bubbling up in my sleep-deprived mind. Suffice to say, I was more than ready to take a big, long break from writing to focus on being a mom.
Writing and editing is never that easy for me, and when you factor in the hormones and all the other fun stuff that comes along with carrying a baby, it was quite a wild ride. I wrote Lock and Key while I was pregnant, and edited it in the last few months before my daughter was born.
A lot of people were surprised when it was announced that I’d have a new book coming out in Summer 2009, only a year after my last novel, Lock and Key.
