Mailbag

Yesterday I received a rejection on a partial from Berkley on a proposal they’ve held for 2 years. To be honest, I had given up on that proposal long ago. I had the complete book written, but something felt–”off” about it. I couldn’t tell what it was. I’m not surprised it was rejected, so yesterday I didn’t mind so much. I laughed, more than anything else.

Then I got an e-mail from a visitor to this website. She had read some of my excerpts on the site and did a search on Amazon and B&N to find my books. When she couldn’t find them, she wrote to ask me how she could buy them. I have to say, that request made my entire day. Thank you, Akilah. Here’s hoping that I’ll soon be able to put a link to my books on this site! I have absolute faith that it will happen. It’s just a matter of WHEN.

In the meantime, I think I’ll send out a few more submissions. Surely then they will buy a manuscript if I keep hounding them.
