So cool, Gud!
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

New YA proposal is DONE and off to agent.
Please let her like it, because I would really, really like to sell something else.

“Not dead yet!”
Thanks, Sox-- this one's just scary for me because it's such a departure. It's paranormal (a ghost story, which I've never done before), it's in 3rd person, which I have written in yonks, and well, it's just different. At least for me.
So-- we'll see.
ETA: Thanks, Gud! And congrats on getting through your revisions!

Yay Barb. Have finished revising main text in book (though thought of important clarification in last chapter). Now revising appendixes.

Because books.
Way to go, guys! Good luck to both of you.

Whew-- had a first cold read come back on the new proposal and they called it Twilight meets Time Traveler's Wife in the best of ways with a lovely fairy tale quality
I can live with those sorts of comparisons if it'll help sell the thing. *g*

That's awesome, Barb!

If it means "sells like Twilight," it's the best description ever.
