Well, the wait is finally over.
I got my rejection from Silhoutte Bombshell today.
I think I should be more upset about it, but I’m really okay with it. There’s probably several reasons for that.
1. I’m a nervous wreck about my book coming out tomorrow.
2. I kind of expected it
3. I got a lot of great feedback from the editor.
and
4. They’ve had the book for 16 months so the anticipation has kind of dulled.

The editor who rejected me gave me a TON of great feedback which is like gold in this business. Everything she said really made sense and will hopefully help me to be a better writer, and that’s important to me.

You want to know the funniest part about all of this though? In the same mail delivery I got the Bombshell books I ordered and a sweepstakes/survey from Harlequin Books, hahahahahaha. Wonder if they got a bulk rate for the mail?

Now I just have one more book to wait on and we’ll see what happens there! In the meantime I’ve got three releases lined up with Ellora’s Cave and I’m writing a fourth. Not a bad future at all!

Take care everyone!

I don’t know why, but for some reason the fall always makes me want to clean everything out. Yesterday I went through all the closets–including the linen closet– and cleared out a bunch of stuff.
I gave seven bags of children’s clothes and shoes to St. Vincent DuPaul’s Place
8 Bags of my clothes and shoes (yes, 8 garbage bags) went to a half-way house and
3 Bags of sheets, towels, and blankets went to a battered women’s shelter.

Last week I sent a box of stuff down to Katrina victims too. I’m clearing things out with a vengeance!

Maybe it’s a latent nesting instinct that makes me clean up to prepare for winter. Maybe it’s just now I’m in the house more and can’t stand the messes, who knows? I just know it felt good to get rid of some of the things I’ll never fit into again, or don’t have any place to wear them again.

Next comes the play room. If my children aren’t careful they’ll be lucky to find a single Barbie left over! Look out, Mom’s on a rampage!
