So Monday, I heard back from the literary agent who had asked to see three chapters of my manuscript. As soon as I saw the email in my box, I was pretty sure it was bad news – it came back too quickly. The agent who wrote me was very kind and very professional andContinue reading “And then came no . . .”

Finally, a yes – querying an agent
Last week, I saw a reference to a particular literary agency on my Twitter feed. I clicked over to their website and saw that not only did they apparently represent work like mine, they represent another writer who used to work with the same editor as me at Pocket.

Wabbit Season
One of the things I did on vacation was see The Dark Knight Rises, the final dark chapter in Christopher Nolan’s dark Der Ring Des Batman-lungen trilogy.

So I’m changing the blog around, lightening up – what do y’all think? I like pretty . . . I’m ready to embrace theContinue reading “Changes are afoot!”
The Best Beach Trip Ever
The family and I just got back from our annual pilgrimage to the ocean. I’ve been going to North Myrtle Beach on vacation nearly every summer since I was eight years old – more years than I care to share in a public forum. This year in a four-bedroom house, oceanfront, we had my dad;Continue reading “The Best Beach Trip Ever”
