It's a taut, rollercoaster of a ride from New York to Palm Beach to Washington D.C. to Hong Kong. The plot is expertly woven, the characters persuasive, and the dialogue snappy and spot on.<br />www.StrategicBookPublishing.com/TheHongKongConnection.htmlM. L.

I should probably be writing NF articles for submission, I have a few on the go. I should also be finishing my writing course work... oh well. :)Tabitha Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08196816108272065974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849583276019228310.post-11768311846752129032009-08-17T20:05:33.172-04:002009-08-17T20:05:33.172-04:00Oh my, I'm so pleased!

My daughter answered, "More like a perspiring author!"

This weekend we had a breakthrough: I helped my query stand on crutches and hobble into a Word doc without any red text anywhere in it! My query has two more weeks of physical therapy scheduled, and then I think it will be able to stand on its own. <br /><br />The August agent/publisher dead-zone is partly to blame, but I know my query is committed to being ready after that. Of course, it's scared because September sees agents and publishers catching up on queries from August. <br /><br />Meanwhile, my complete novel is getting an in depth line edit, and it feels pretty good about itself. I am also sneaking in some work on my current novel, and it loves the attention. It rubs up on my hand like a cat.Sierra Godfreyhttp://sierragodfrey.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849583276019228310.post-41621511912780517802009-08-17T14:00:19.660-04:002009-08-17T14:00:19.660-04:00Yes, we are on a similar wave length today with ou...Yes, we are on a similar wave length today with our ending questions!

That truly is a terrible first line :)<br /><br />As for current goings on in my writing world, I'm still working on that query, having already been through four drafts. I'm hoping my next go will produce the final article. I'm currently waist deep in a new story, one that's proving to be very surprising! My MC and I are both being dragged around by various characters and shocked at who drops into our bedroom windows!<br /><br />Happy Monday!<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-849583276019228310.post-85342237568575014242009-08-17T11:05:19.923-04:002009-08-17T11:05:19.923-04:00Congrats to Lisa P.

I hope my rabbi line gave her a run for her money!<br /><br />As far as what I'm up to, I'm deep in the query process (3 full and 8 partial requests), am working on a new novel, blogging, tweeting, and writing articles for phillyexaminer.com on songwriters and songwriting. My writing plate is quite happily full!Debra Lynn Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238268767406623274noreply@blogger.com
