Hard work and persistence pay off and dreams do come true. I’m getting published! On July 11, 2011, I got “the call” from a publishing company. They want to buy an anthology three of my writier friends and I talked about writing. The four of us met with the VP of the publishing company this […]
My revisions on Mystical Connections are almost finished, or so I thought. Romance writer, Jenna Nichols, and hard-nosed journalist, Aidan Scott have other ideas in mind. They’ve both decided we need more conflict and drama. So, they morphed at least four new scenes to help strengthen the story line, and I must admit, they are incredible […]
I just got back from the NEC conference in Salem, MA. Let your imagination take flight is their theme, which perfectly matched the boost I needed in my writing. I guess I was feeling a bit stale, and the wonderful workshops helped pop me back into the passionate state I’m used to being in while creating my stories. […]
Snow last week and flowers blooming this week. I’m stepping out for a long walk because winter has decided to show his face again tomorrow. It’s a sunny in the mid-seventies day, but it’s not going to last. Temperatures drop over night. Back into the thirties, ugh. I’m so ready for the warm weather to […]
The snow melted and the sun shines strong. It is 74 degrees here in St. Loius – unbelievable for mid-February, but I love it. Could this be a sign that winter is behind us? I can hope, can’t I? I’m close to finishing my revisions for Mystical Connections, then work continues on Passion’s Promise. Seven chapters […]
What a gorgeous day. 1/11/11 and the snow flakes continue to fall. Large, fluffy, white flakes fluttering outside my office windows. It’s very peaceful. The small amount of sun – brave enough to show up here and there – spotlights the gleaming blanketed yards, making me almost believe it’s not that cold. I’m cozy in […]
Perseverance and determination have paid off as we ring in 2011. The intense research to find the “right” agent to represent my work has come to fruition. I received a contract on Christmas Eve. I now have an agent!! She is professional, bold, honest and direct – the perfect partner to showcase my story (stories). Her experience […]
Wow, my last post was written in September. Really? Guess revisions took priority over everything else, but they’re done and in the agents hands. Yeah! From my lips to God’s ears: “I am ready to get published.” So, I put Passion’s Race out of my mind (or try to anyway) and return to work on […]
A very dear friend reminded me the other night that I haven’t blogged since August 24th. So true, but there is an excellent reason for the disappearing act. I decided to take a short break and share … I’m doing another edit on Passion’s Race for an agent!! She thinks I’ve created a unique world […]
