Thanks
for returning to my site. I've been unable to
update this page while my Internet provider
experienced server issues, which are resolved now.
However, there hasn't been much to report anyway.
It's the same old story: I'm still looking for an
agent or publisher for two novels--Drum Dance,
for young adults, and Face the Winter Naked,
for adults, both historical. I have everything
crossed--my fingers, my eyes--that some new
developments will work out. Please cross your
fingers for me.
In the meantime,
I'm still researching another historical novel,
set in 1925 during the "flapper" era--in
the days of speakeasies and jazz, the
Charleston and prohibition, when young girls
rebelled and cast off their physical and symbolic
Victorian corsets to become just plain naughty in
an age of craziness.
At the end of
this page is a small meter that will update
periodically as I write. I can't promise how
often I can make the changes, but check in once
in a while to see what's happening. So far, I
haven't written anything except a few notes. But
I will, eventually, because this is a novel I've
wanted to write for about ten years. The time is
now--but first things first, meaning the
revisions and researching more agents. Wish me
luck and please stay tuned.
Thanks for
visiting.
They're also
available at online bookstores: Amazon.com
and Barnes & Nobel, and may be special-ordered
through independent bookstores by giving
the title and author's name.
Encourage
your children to read for pleasure,
and someday they will thank you!
