I Found My Agent!!Wonderful news: I now have an agent, the fabulous Susanna Einstein of LJK Literary Management. I met her at the RWA
Nationals Award Ceremony, thanks to my ever-lovely chaptermate Rachael Herron (whose very charming first book, How to Knit a Love Song, debuted with Avon A this past spring). I'm thrilled
to be working with Susanna, and am very excited about taking the next steps toward getting my books out to the world!

A Whole Life in Six Words??

Sludge Brain / Good NewsNo, those two things aren't related, except by coincidence.
My brain is fried from processing entries
for the Golden Pen Contest Single Title category, for which I'm coordinator. Ai ai ai--I have a WHOLE new appreciation
for all the volunteer work that goes into Romancelandia's vast webs of mentorship and mutual support. (The Golden
Pen got a record number of entries this year--up 50% over last year.)
It's taken me days to sort out and
copy entries and get them properly assigned to judges, and I've spent the entire afternoon just getting entries attached
to emails for the individual judges. And I'm not done yet.
HOWEVAH....in the middle of all this I learned that
A MOST IMPROPER GENTLEMAN has finaled in Heart of the Rockies. (Woot!) Contest karma, I guess.
Check out the excerpt from GENTLEMAN...the link's over to the left!

Getting Back to BusinessI normally hate wearing necklaces (can't stand anything around my throat...I swear I was garrotted as a witch or heretic
in a former life or something) but I still haven't taken off my Golden Heart pendant!
The thrill hasn't worn off
either, but strangely...my books don't seem to be writing themselves. And no cabana boys have showed up to bring me
lovely iced drinks with umbrellas in them.
Back to work it is.
But first, a new addition: since a
lot more traffic has been coming to this site since August 1 (Greetings, gentle visitors!! Lovely to have you here!
Really, there should be a cabana boy stopping by with a lovely iced drink for you any minute now!) I thought I'd better go
ahead and add an actual excerpt to the link promising "Excerpts." More or less at random, I've chosen to add Chapter
Three of The Devil May Care. Go have a look!
Oh, but please continue to ignore the link that promises
"Favorite Links" because I still haven't figured out how to make that one work.
Now if you'll excuse
me, I must head to the laundry room to remove fruit-bat guano from my kids' Zoo Camp t-shirts so they'll be clean tomorrow
for more explorations in the muck.... Yup, the life of a Golden Heart winner is all glamor, all the time. (Really, I
NEED me some cabana boys.)
