I had the pleasure of interviewing several agents and editors at the RWA Nationals in San Francisco. Among them being Lucienne Diver, Holly Root, Chris Keeslar, Kim Whalen, and Nathan Bransford. Today, I have an appointment to interview Robert Gottlieb from Trident Media Group. I’m looking forward to compiling everything I got from them into some hopefully great articles.
I’ve updated the Romancing the Chalice page. I’ve also come up with a fun game that will need to be created, but I think you’ll like it.
I’ve added to my Bio and the Bookshelf, including an updated blurb for Criminal Obsessions.
I’ve uploaded the articles I’ve written for the RWA PROspects Newsletter to my articles page. Check them out, and if you’re a writer interested in the RWA PROspects Newsletter, check out the RWA Website.
As a person who struggles with the task of keeping up with all the blogs I like to read, I figured out how to make email subscription a possibility for my blog. So, if you like my blog and want to keep up with the goings on in my world, jump over there and subscribe. Each time I blog, you’ll get an email in your inbox.
It’s quick, easy, and painless.
I’ve made a few updates to the site and a few more are coming. I’ve added another article to the Articles I’ve Written page that I hope you’ll check out. I talked about the debate of how many books an author should write a year. Who has the answer?
I’m working on a polish for my novella, Romancing the Chalice, and as soon as that is finished I’ll be updating the information here on that book as well as submitting it to a few places to see if it can find a home.
Once that is finished I’ll be doing a polish on Criminal Obsessions, which turned out to be more fun than I’d anicipated, and will begin the submission round with that as well.
I then have RWA Nationals to prepare for, and that is promising to be a great few days surrounded by friends, authors, agents, and editors.
I finished the rough draft of Criminal Obsessions tonight! I didn’t allow myself to go back and make changes or verify facts so I know that I have some polishing to do during a round of revisions, but the first draft is complete. I’m so stoked!!
I’ll be using the momentum I have right now to work on another project tomorrow. Then I just need to work on query letters, synopsis, and get these things out in the agent world.
I’m asking for help in picking out a new headshot for my Bio page. I’d love it if you would visit my blog to vote for your favorite.
In other news, I’ve written some articles for my local RWA chapter and a few of them have been picked up and used by several other RWA chapters. Visit my Articles I’ve Written page to check them out.
I’m continuing to wait to hear from agents and editors on my manuscript. While I do, I’ve been working on book two of the Dangerous Detectives. I’m a little over halfway through with the major rewrite. Things are getting complicated and intense, just the way I like them.
Since my last update, I’ve received a full manuscript request from an agent and just a day or two ago I received a request for a partial from another agent. To keep myself from thinking about it all too much I’m busily working on a revision of Detective #2. And I have many plans after that.
