Writing and a Sale



First, I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine was quiet, which was nice for me.

On my last post, I mentioned that I had just finished a marathon of writing. Well, I haven't written much since. Things have been hectic here. I did a lot of Spring cleaning to get ready for the cable guys to come out and install our fast internet. Up until that point, I had dial-up. It's amazing how different it is. I could have had it sooner but I'm one of those people who hate change and this was a big one for me. Not only did I get different internet, but TV service as well. I'm still trying to figure out where all my favorite channels are.

On a high note, I received a contract on my manuscript, Untouched from Liquid Silver Books. I can't tell you how excited I am to be working with them. Here is a teaser for the book.

An ancient map sends a jungle guide to the wilds of Peru in search of Templar gold, only to find something more precious--the love of a beautiful Botanist whose integrity makes him want to be a better man.

Right now I'm revising the second book in my Men of the Jungle Series. I hope to have it done within the next month or so.

Have a great day!

Thanks, Marie. I'm working on the cover art form right now.

Congratulations on your sale. The story sounds very cool.

What is the symbol you posted supposed to be? It looks like the symbol for the Pope.
