Wait, you didn’t know I was going away, did you?  I’m going away.

Seriously, I don’t.  And that’s why I must.  I’m just taking a couple of months off so I can, hopefully, DEAR GOD PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEE!!!! finish the sequel to Don’t You Forget About Me.

In that time, I’ll be starting a newsletter.  So if you want the totally, top secret, exclusive scoop on what I’m doing while on blogging hiatus, sign up here for EMC Reader: The Newsletter of Author Erin McCole Cupp.

Also in the meantime, I’ve picked around and recruited a few friends to keep the place in shape while I’m writing, you know, actual fiction.  They’ll be scooping the litter pan, feeding the fish… and here’s where I admit I spent too many minutes searching for a GIF of Scully saying, “That would be bad for the fish.”

So here are some of the neighbors who will be dropping by. I’m letting you know so if you see some stranger unlocking the door, you don’t freak out and call the police.

• Jeannie Ewing
• Karina Fabian (and possibly Vern the Dragon)
• Marianne Sciuocco
• Patrice Fagnant MacArthur
• Amy M. Bennett
• Rebecca of Our Hearts Are Restless
• Colleen Duggan
• Karen Kelly Boyce
• Barbara Hosbach
• Fr. Jim Tucker
• Mike Seagriff
• Carolyn Astfalk
• Sherrie Palmer
• John Paul Wolscheild
• Theresa Linden
• And more to come…

See, I wouldn’t leave my Tomato Pie Fans without anything to enjoy while I cooked up a little something new.  See you in a couple of months! Please pray that I can finish this draft.  This is proving a very difficult book to write. The good news?
