Deadlines and Good News

Filed in: blog

First – thanks to those who wrote. I’ve received some AMAZING emails over the last couple of weeks. Profuse apologies (the third or fourth time at LEAST) to those folks I need to write, especially Jennifer, Marcy, Marti, Mary….the list goes on, and I’m grateful for your patience and your loyalty.

I’ve been neck-deep in deadlines. I actually didn’t go to all the sessions at the retreat in order to meet one of those deadlines, then immediately got embedded in others. I THINK I’ll have time this weekend to get in touch with folks. Right now, my house is topsy-turvy as we’re swapping my bedroom and office, painting, and preparing for a huge book sale.

Yep – I’m actually getting rid of almost all my books. Just keeping a few beloved volumes, and those bought specifically for research on upcoming novels. So if you’re in the Nashville area, let me know if you’re interested. There will be about 300 books or so, everything from fiction to history, science, and religion.

I need to get all this under my belt because I’ve acquired another deadline…Steeple Hill bought the third book in the Jackson’s Retreat series, and I have to finish the manuscript by May 16th. This one will come out in the spring of 2009. While I was waiting on their decision, I began a proposal for three more books . . .

More later. Thank you all for your support.
