Getting easier…
It’s getting easier to press the send button on query letters. Why? Well, because I realize that just because one agent says no, doesn’t mean the next won’t say yes! The worst that can happen when you query is that you get a note saying “It’s not right for me or my agency at this time.” Which sometimes can be a blow, considering it’s your tip top agent! But at the same time, I think it’s good for your character to get a no. It helps move your forward and to the final goal of publication. So yes, I did push send on five queries this...
Read MoreQuery: Deglan Rising take 3 or 7… whichever…
And I think, ladies and gentleman… it’s the winner. Yes? No? Maybe? I start sending tomorrow… Weee! Ten years ago, a legend was born among the Teken Clansmen; one Lord Arthus intends to keep secret.

That is me… and my new mantra. Read Edit Write Repeat It should the mantra of everyone who is attempting to ready a submission to an agent or publishing house. I have four completed manuscripts that need to be polished and run over with a fine tooth comb. I refuse to write another novel until these are ready for complete submission. (However, must mind the voice of the muse, but muse is saying to “Read, Edit, Write, Repeat…” but I reserve the occasion that the muse might need to pen something of the new fashion). So if you need me, I will be behind the screen...
Read MoreIt’s happened again…
I received a partial request… and I am immediately thankful I already started my first person rewrites… Sweeet! The funniest/craziest part of this request… I didn’t query for it. No, true story! Honest! I did query HER… sorta, if you could call that a query I sent. It was more like a “Umm yah, here is the deal *blah* and what do you think?” #truestory, you can ask her when she is my awesome agent…! Anyhow, my email was about my non-fiction stuff. And so she emailed me back and basically said she was “fascinated” by the ideas and then...
Read MoreOn the flip side…
Well, my weekend away was awesome. I could have used a little more sleep (blame my stupid internal time clock, no one else) but it was an entirely fabulous weekend! We had great food, great company and some great writing times! Having sent a partial to an agent before I left, I knew I needed to really examine the RINGS OF TIME MS and objectively see what she saw. I love the story. REALLY… but when I looked at it, I screamed (nay aloud). Had I really just sent this snoozer to an agent?!?!?! *headdesk* Now… it’s not a snoozer of a story. Really, it’s quite fun and fast...
