Well, it looks like my publisher has awakened from an autumn sleep and is finally ready to proceed with Dizzy Miss Lizzie. She tweeted the announcement a little while ago. Plus, I should have cover art next week.
The ball, it is rolling...

No cover, yet, but we have two separate Lizzie blurbs (for back cover and general release):
Version 1:
Thirteen-year-old Kasey Madrid finally has the freedom she's always wanted. Instead of putting up with sitters or camps, she can spend the summer home alone in their "new" house. Never mind that the house is a creepy old place built in the nineteenth century. The creep factor skyrockets when Kasey meets a nineteenth-century girl named Lizzie Bellows in the basement. It takes some time for Lizzie to convince Kasey she's not a ghost, though neither girl understands why they can see each other when they live 120 years apart.
The difference in their worlds doesn't stop the two from becoming fast friends. Lizzie's life isn't easy, though. In her time, both parents died in a fire many believe Lizzie started herself. As the summer passes and Kasey learns more about her own past, she is shocked to discover Lizzie is part of a terrible Madrid family secret. It's up to Kasey to go back to Lizzie's world to unlock the secret and clear Lizzie's name.
Version 2:
Kasey Madrid figures she'll spend the summer alone when her family moves into a creepy old house. Then she meets a nineteenth-century girl named Lizzie Bellows in the basement. Who knew your best friend could live in a parallel world 120 years apart?
But when Kasey discovers Lizzie is part of a shocking Madrid family secret and that Lizzie will soon be accused of a terrible crime, it's up to Kasey to go back to Lizzie's world to unlock the secret and clear her friend's name.

Good for you, Vandal. Nice blurbs--has that creep factor going for it/them. Post your cover when you can.
