Back From a Long Winters Nap

Okay, so I wasn't napping. I was busy with my writing, and editing my novels with the help of J.J. and Amy Murray's Editing Service. Love those guys!

I sat so many hours sitting bleary-eyed in front of my laptop, munching on sesame seed crackers and guzzling mineral water, to polish a manuscript worthy enough for the eyes of literary agents.

I recently dusted off a novel I began in 1990 and completed in 1992. It's an epic fantasy, suitable for the new adult market; the new adult genre being stories for the 20-something age group who are still too old to be young adult and too young to be adult-adult.

I looked at the message I was trying to impart in this romance morality play. I was happy.

It turned out to be more relevant today than in 1992, and far more entertaining given our current cultural shift towards interracial couples/families becoming mainstream. 

Looking ahead to getting it published. Wanting to be ahead of the trend. Getting ahead. Period.
