Oasis Hiatus

Happy 4th of July, Everyone!

As you know, it's summertime.  But the view into our lives doesn't look quite like this picture. Our kids are off from school.  The days are oppressively hot.  We're in love with our WIPs but have no time to work on them.  Editing schedules hunt us down like summer storm clouds.

So with heavy but relieved hearts, we've decided to take a summer hiatus from the blog.  We're shutting down our posts from now through Labor Day. 

When we return in the fall, we'll have many exciting new changes lined up for you.  We're going to use some of our "time off" to think of fun new ways to deliver the info and tips all you YA authors need.  And we're also looking at ways to make the blog more useful to YA readers -- not just writers.

If you have any suggestions, send them our way!  We may not be obviously present in the cyber world, but we haven't dropped off the face of the planet either.

And know that our need for "space," isn't a reflection on you -- our awesome readers and commenters -- we LOVE you and we are ever thankful for your presence here.  This is about the reality that we are all writers ourselves.  And at a time of year when time is preciously scarce, we need to spend what we have on our own craft.  We hope you understand and will rejoin us in the fall!

The Oasis Ladies,
Ann, Jessica, Jessie, Nikki & Sheri
