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 […]

I’ve completed four chapters & mapped out ten in total. Have an idea where the rest of the story is going, but I’ll take […]

By posting a picture of Samba on facebook, I learned from a friend that he is an American Bombay. (Thanks Jeff for sharing this info!) I researched the breed and sure enough, it fits Samba 100%. Which then got me thinking about Tango, our cute little Christmas find. I Googled cat breeds and looked at […]
My little guy as taken an interest in my WIP. Samba points out that my format is excellent, and he thinks I nailed the emotion in this scene. He purrs to show he likes what’s written so far. Then he sits patiently, waiting for me to continue. His sister, on the other hand, has positioned herself on […]
My blog decided to have a meltdown last week, but it’s up and running again thanks to Dee. Don’t know what I’d do without you, Dee! You’re a gem. I like this new version and plan to post more often, just because it’s fun. I’m currently learning the layout, so check back often to see […]
John & I just got back from a fabulous week on the motorcycle. 5 bikes & 8 people, boy, did we have a blast. We called it the Great Lakes Tour … day 1, we rode to Iowa and saw Field of Dreams – and how ironic, the movie was on TV monday night!! Day […]
