Morning Rain Publishing To Publish My Novel

I’m thrilled to announce that Canadian publisher Morning Rain Publishing has acquired my novel, ‘Strangely, Incredibly Good,’ for publication.

It has been a long, winding journey to my first novel, and I’m so excited that 14 months of imagining, writing & rewriting has resulted in a publishing deal with a fantastic publishing house.

I hope you wonderful regular readers will follow right along with me, right to the book launch (hopefully in early June 2014 in ebook, and a few months later in print).

Here is Morning Rain Publishing’s official announcement:

What I’m Up To When I’m Not Tweeting/on Facebook

-In edits this month and next for my novel Strangely, Incredibly Good (more news on that from my new publisher next week!)

-Negotiating sale of poem ‘The Day You Looked Me In The Eyes’ (Three Spaces) to Oxford U. Press! It will be used for a teacher’s resource guide to teach their UK syllabus; anticipated sales are 500 over 3 years. I’ve worked with Oxford University Press a few times and am so impressed with them.

-Preparing to read from The Groovy Granny and teach Haiku and freestyle poetry to Gr. 3’s at a local school (early February 2014)

-Preparing to speak at Queen’s Media and Journalism Conference March 8-9 2014 – thrilled to be invited back!

-Laundry, laundry, laundry (does it clone itself when I’m not looking?)
-My title is a bit of a joke – I do love Tweeting and Facebook, but in my free time I also love Image
just being with my family, scrapbooking, and doing yoga (I’m writing those last two on purpose so I actually commit some time to them soon!)

Can’t wait to share more about my upcoming novel with all of you with a post from my new publisher – NEXT WEEK! 🙂

Have a great start to 2014, everyone. Make it count.

The Story Of A Traveling Screenplay (Please Share!)

The Story Of A Traveling Screenplay (Please Share!)

The Friends I’ve Never Met has traveled.

It has traveled around in Aaron Sorkin’s (The West Wing, The Social Network) script bag and been referred to his agency, been given constructive criticism (which I gratefully used) by the creator of King Of Queen’s, and has been accidentally left in an airport by Tom Cavanagh (Ed), but he did scribble more constructive criticism in the margins! (which I gratefully used).

It has been read, referred & praised by the kind and generous Mark Feuerstein and the beautiful and talented Forbes Riley But thanks to YOU it has traveled the farthest, WAY UP to #28 in Women’s Fiction>Action and Adventure!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share the link, buy, review, star rate, and help KEEP ‘THE FRIENDS I’VE NEVER MET’ TRAVELING UPWARDS!

I’ve come this far – why quit now?

Thanks for your help!

P.S. You do not need a Kindle, Amazon.com has free Kindle reading software for your computer!

Sure, I’ll Write Another 1,000 Words…

Right after I arrange my outdoor office space, take photos of how great it looks, and then play with the paint settings on my camera; then blog, Tweet and Tumblr the photo. Right after that, promise! 😉

Seriously, I’m half way there, and can’t wait to publish the “Working Title” and an excerpt after my first big edit. That will hopefully be late December. I know it’s a wait, but I hope you’ll feel it’s worth the wait. I’m going to submit to many, many publishers once it’s completed, but will also consider self-publishing ~ just going with the flow.

Thanks for standing by, and for your Likes and Shares of all I write. It keeps me writing…less decorating, more writing! Thanks.
