Note the sea turtles! I learned a lot about sea turtles while researching this book... they're amazing! I'll probably do a post on that some time later...
This is the third and final book in the Notebooks series (Indigo and Ruby were the first two). Here's a little summary:
Down-to-earth Zeeta and her flighty mom, Layla, have spent years traveling the globe and soaking up everything each new culture has to offer. Now they've settled in the beachside town of Mazunte, Mexico, where Zeeta's true love, Wendell, has an internship photographing rare sea turtles. At first glance, Zeeta feels sure that Mazunte is paradise—she envisions dips in jade waters, sunsets over sea cliffs, moonlit walks in the surf. And she is determined to make Mazunte her home . . . for good. But as she and Wendell dig deeper to unearth her elusive father's past, Zeeta finds that paradise has its dark side.
I just sent the revised manuscript into my editor-- the next step is copy-editing, then page-proofing, then the review copy... and then, on *Valentine's Day* 2012, it will be out in the world! I'm starting to think about the release party... For Indigo, there was Ecuadorian dance, for Ruby, an accordionist.... any ideas for Jade? (And no, I can't fly everyone to a tropical paradise to swim with sea turtles... darn!)
If you want to see pics of the setting of Jade, check out the blog post I did about my research trip there...
Thanks for reading!
