In case you were wondering, Molly Hecht is still alive.

I hate to leave you all hanging, really I do. Today I finally started Book 41. Yes, it’s been over a month since I finished Book 40, On the Edge, and I’d love to tell you it was a prolonged mourning period for Regina. But I have a way, way better excuse: I’ve been making a movie!

Alas, it is not a Sweet Valley movie (still waiting on that phone call, Diablo Cody!). But it is about high school! It’s a documentary about showchoir. Yeah. I filmed it several years ago (pre-Glee, people!) and finally have the time and energy to get it finished, which it nearly is. If you like, you can check out the website, www.showchoirdoc.com.

More on Molly Hecht as a pariah in Book 41 coming soon!
