Family/Friends:
First and foremost happy Labor Day weekend to you all! I hope you and yours are enjoying the time off and spending it doing something fun.
Second, I want to let you know that I'm excited (and nervous of course) because just yesterday I sent in my 21K+ word story to the publisher for consideration. I should point out that the publisher had already read the 1st Edition of the book which resulted in them requesting modifications and requesting extra word count, hence the 2nd Edition of the book. In the meantime, until I hear back from them, I am furiously working on other projects some of which have fallen by the wayside when I took on the 2nd Edition challenge. Amongst my plans for the remainder of the year are the release of two other eBooks, several interviews in September & October, and time permitting I do want to delve into restructuring two books which were also submitted to other publishers but rejected, Memory of Heart and To Have and to Hold. Restructuring and polishing those two books will most likely be a six-month project, so I have my work cut out for me.
Lastly, I want to say thank you to everyone whose purchased my books, read my blogs, follow me on Twitter, offer encouragement and have been in communication with me in one shape or form. I do appreciate you!!
That's all for now folks. Now go get a burger, have a beer or something :-)
