Book Update

Alright well I've sent my manuscript off to DAW publishing. I enclosed a stamped postcard so they can at least tell me when they've received it. So far no news back but I could have a good three months before they get to it... which is slightly discouraging, but I'll just use that time to look for other publishers to send it to. DAW has this weird rule that if you send your manuscript to them then you can't send it to anyone else so I have to wait for a bit before I can send it off to any other publishers. Anyway, I've already plotted out the second book in the series, which looks like it will be much longer than the first (the first came to a grand total of 240 pages by the way) so I can't wait to start writing that one. I am, however, a bit engulfed in another project that I just happened to come up with in the airport in California on my way back to Utah from dad's house... and most everyone in my life will be in this book but with different names... that's right Maddie, you make your big entrance within the first five pages :) So I think I have to get this story out of my system before I can go back to the second book in Robin's series. So there you have it. My overactive imagination will forever be running my life. Wish me luck with that! The end.

Here's a picture of a book cover I made just for fun. The actual photo isn't mine, I just put the text over it :) I thought it went nicely with the story.

Will we be able to read the book soon? I'm sure we would love to read it before it hits the best sellers lists!!

I'm half way through and enjoying every minute of it!! I hate to put it down to get some work done!! I hope the publishers love it also.
