Started my final edits.

current mood=
Finished chapter one and will do a little more tomorrow. After I'm done, that's it. I'm determined not to do anything else to it until I find a publisher for it :-). Got a really good overall review a few days ago from Rita. She loves my story too. Most of the people who've read it have liked it and said with a little more work it will find a goos publisher. I hope they're right :-)

Another beautiful day here in Cleveland :-)

Current Mood =
Just checked the weather. I might take PJ out to the beach today or maybe we'll just do the playground. It's gonna be 79 here & it's always cooler by the lake. First I gotta get dressed & get some lunch together for us.

I'm plotting out yet another book. I've had an idea for a story that takes place in the 1760's. It combines a little bit of the French & Indian War, the sad tale of Fort Sandusky, and the story of . Col. Henry Bouquet's camp. I had an idea about two Indian prisoners who meet and fall in love but when Bouquet comes to release the prisoners, my hero doesn't want to go back home. The early history of Ohio before it became a state is quite interesting with all kinds of stories about fighting between the settlers. So that's why I figured I'd go back even farther :-). That will be next in line to write after I do Mojave Rose, The Fireland's Bride, and then Saving Grace. Boy I'll sure have a lot of things to keep me busy. One of them is bound to get published :-)

Oh since I didn't get a chance to do it last night here I go with my

Getting caught up on some reading :)

current mood=

Now that TLD is almost complete, I took out a Linda Lael Miller book from the library (Shot Gun Bride) & a Kaite MacAllister book (Improper English) I love Linda's books but I haven't had the time to read anything from her in awhile & It goes without saying that adore Katie. She was a member of one the yahoo groups I used to belong too & is a very sweet lady with a wacky sense of humor.

Recorded the thing they had on King Arthut on the history channel last night. Haven't watched it yet. Cornelia's latest work involves a young Arthur & it's really good :-). Maybe someday I'll try my luck at a medieval but I don't think I have the voice for it yet. Medievals tend to be a little bit dark & I write warm & down-to-earth romances (which I think a mid-west romance should be :-). Well I'm off to finish my grocery shopping.
