It is well that war is so terrible—

we shouldn’t grow too fond of it.

Hope and ideas are two things that always matter—Anonymous

Hope is a crazy thing, but I have it.

I hope to gain the attention of a literary agent looking for a hard-working, college-educated, writer who is full of ideas.

I hope to sell my two completed full-length manuscripts.

I hope to finish my current work-in-progress within the week.

I hope to be ready for the release of my 5^th novel, LOVE TO THE RESCUE, which comes out on July 14^th from Red Rose Publishing. Who knows…this might be the one that earns the right to someday be published in print.

I can only hope.

Work is the meat in life, pleasure the dessert—Bertie Charles Forbes

This I believe. I have a finished paranormal manuscript and I am busy submitting it as I search for an agent.  I am editing another story, a contemporary romance. I continue to blog on various sites, and will soon be working with an editor to polish LOVE TO THE RESCUE, a romantic suspense, which will be released July 14th by Red Rose Publishing (w/a Nancy Lennea). Yes, this is my work. But, lots and lots of dessert is on the horizon.

After a bout of indecision, today I submitted my latest manuscript to an agent. Was it ready? Would she like my plot? Did my three-line pitch (among dozens) catch her interest? Some times you just have to realize… 

Standing in the middle of the road is dangerous;

you get knocked down by traffic from both sides.
