Evil often triumphs, but never conquers

–Joseph Roux

I am posting this today because I am working through my latest novel and have come to a scene where the bad guy gets the girl.  I firmly believe we do not know what is important until it has been yanked from our hands.   A writer of romance works hard to make the story flow with ups and downs, but always gives their readers a happy-ever-after ending. Have a great week!Nancy

Never work just for money or for power. They won’t save your soul or help you sleep at night. -Marian Wright Edelman, lawyer, educator, and activist.

I am trying very hard to believe this, but I am finally earning royalties for my books and they won’t keep me warm in my retirement. (that is still far away) So, my New Year’s resolution is to actively seek out an agent who loves my writing as much as I do and can foresee the perfect publisher for my next book. I have been fortunate to have four of my novels published this year in e-book format.I still love to read books held in my hand, as do so many of my friends and relatives. So, I will work hard to make 2011 an even better year. Thanks to all who have supported me in my writing. You know who you are!

Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win. -Bernadette Devlin, political activist 

I have posted this quote because it relates to my last three years of writing. The road to publication has been long, sometimes lonely, expensive, thrilling, scary, and something I have waited too many decades to try. I am still re-tweaking my manuscripts that have not yet sold, am still hoping to get the agent of my dreams, and still taking workshops and attending conferences to hear what it is I AM doing right.

I must be doing SOMETHING right since two of my stories are slated for publication in the coming months.
