Fiction Friday: Where’s My WIP?
Heard from my agent that I got four “no thank yous” from editors/publishing houses on my WIP, BUT there’s still several houses that have it, and he likes what the editors have been saying about it. I’m hopefully, but not holding my breath because I know editors are just one of many people that have…
ACFW & My Stalker Part 3

I’m Driving Myself INSANE!!!
I’m on a vicious cycle right now, writing and rewriting my first couple of chapters. After getting my critiques back from the Genesis contest in the Spring, I went to work, perfecting and cleaning up my writing. Then I got busy writing the synopsis and proposal for the ACFW conference. When I finally returned to…
My Debut Novel
I want my first published novel to be amazing. Something worthy of one of those medals they put on the front of the really good books. I don’t want it to be something I cranked out that fits into a publishable mold. Reality check! If that’s the case I’ll probably be fifty before I’m published!…
