Hello again!
It has been awhile. Believe it or not I lost my little notes on which sign in names and which passwords I needed for my various blogs and sites.
Yep, I have a red face. But I found what I needed by trial and error and here I am.

Two of you ( very loyal) mentioned in private emails that you had checked my blog and found I hadn't posted in a very long time and were concerned. Chalk it up to a long early vacation in May. ( for those who did not follow that yahoo site for that one, well, let me know and I will hook you up). There was fun and trauma. We even had our brakes go out on our new ( used) motorhome on the way home and luckily were on the off ramp when it happened.

So what, you may ask, have I been doing. I have been writing, my friends. writing and working at he bookstore and trying to ignore the growing problem of the house and yard. In the case of the yard the growing problem is growing weeds and overgrown trees and shrubs.

As for writing; I have been working on several manuscripts and completed another one for Blaze. When reading aloud to a friend ( my final way of being sure there are no errors as they are more apparent when reading aloud) I discoved several, and also addressed questions of clarity she brough up. Now, it is ready to send.

I was very fortunate in having a pitch to an agent whom I am very interested in at the recent miniconference of my local RWA chapter last Saturday. ( 17th). She asked for pages from each of my most recent works and I hope she finds things there that she can work with.

I need an agent to do the selling and business end of writing so I can write stories, which is what I am good at. I have several new ones that I have outlined while working on the current ones.
Currently I Have finished: Original Cyn- a spicy romantic comedy for Blaze;
Heat Waves- another romantic comedy origially titled Malice in Wonderland that I am expanding to full length. I had written it that way origianlly, but when A CONTEST came up for a series length I shorthened it and did win a chance to have it read by an editor, then another editor graciously asked me to send it to her. It was too complex for each of them, but I hope to find a home for it as I re-read it a couple weeks ago and I love the story.;
The manuscript for Harlequin Spice- Lucky Lady is about 5/8's complete. I say that because it was finished when I pitched it in Reno, but I also had written it long ago in long hand and was asked to expand the length at the same time as I typed it.; Sexual Healing is a full length erotic gothic romance. Very dark and sensual and a story that has haunted me for several years. When complete it has been requested by RedSage.;
There are two others but I am trying to prioritize. As I mentioned to her, I have so many stories in me that I am like a ship full of cargo. I need a captain to steer me into port and make sure I reach the right destinations.

So, dear friends, I will try to be more timely and keep you posted. I may even share a line or two from these books. Don't think I have abandoned the children's stories. I have just shelved them to concentrate on stories that can be packaged in a way to create a more focused carreer.

You may post questions here ( I okay them first) and those who have my private email can contact me there. I am deleteing all forwards no matter how cute or inspirational, but thank you for thinking of me.
regards
