Broke Down and Wrote Publisher

Well, I finally got to where I couldn't take the waiting any more. It's been almost 8 weeks since I sent my book to PD Publishing and I haven't heard anything back.  I don't want to assume the worse but since there's been no word I'm going to have to assume they weren't interested in it.  But, they haven't officially said no so I guess I can still hold out on hope until I actually get the official NO.  Any way, next week National November Writing Month or NANOWRIMO starts and I will be working on my adult lesbian romance about a televangist's wife who is raped in South Africa because she became friends with a lesbian couple who were on a missionary trip over there with her.  When she comes back home she is a changed woman and has to make some serious choices about what direction she wants her life to take.  One of those choices is whether or not she be able to stop herself from falling in love with a beautiful prosecuting attorney is may be getting...

Decisions Decisions

I still haven't heard anything from PD Publishing and I'm considering entering my book Suddenly in Bedazzled Publishing contest.  I'll have to write PD next week if I don't hear from them and see what they are doing with my book so I'll know if I can enter it in the Bedazzled contest. Next month is NaNoWriMo and I'm really torn about which story to write on during that month.  I've got my adult lesbian romance that I've been toying with for like six years but there still seem to be some blocks with that.  Then, I have another young adult lesbian romance that I've been thinking about and the ideas for that seem to be coming more readily.  I'm leaning towards the young adult since the ideas for that keep popping in my head. I really wish I could hear something back from the publisher so I'd know what to do about Suddenly. Anyway, I guess it's just a wait and see until next week, then I will definitely have to make a decision about Bedaz...

Too Many Stories

I'm working on two stories now, an adult lesbian romance and a young adult lesbian romance. Suddenly I've started having new ideas for another young adult lesbian romance.  There is just not enough time in the day to get this all down. Ugh!  I'm REALLY hoping to hear from PD Publishing this week. It's driving me nuts not knowing if they are reading my book.  I'm still seriously considering self publishing.  After reading what authors make on a book, I may seriously have to consider it if I'm going to make a decent profit.

Working and Waiting

I've been working on my Evangelist's Wife story yesterday and I'm still waiting to hear from PD Publishing. It's been five weeks and I'm literally sitting on my hands trying not to email them and ask if they've read the story yet.

New Story Coming Along Slowly

I've got so many ideas in my head about both of my new stories but finding time to write has been a problem lately.  I'm still waiting to hear from the publisher about my first young adult lesbian romance but working on the next one about a girl moving from the city to the country.  I'm also working on my adult lesbian romance about an evangelist's wife who falls in love with another woman.  I'm looking so forward to seeing how each story unfolds.  Even though I have an idea of what I want the story to be, they have a tendency to take lives of their owns.

Love Waits and an Old story of mine

I breezed through Gerri Hill's book "Love Waits" again a few days ago.  I just love the way she writes romance and her sex scenes are HOT!  I picked up the first lesbian romance that I ever wrote, "Second Chances" and started reading over it again.  It's needs some major editing but it's still a great story about getting a second chance at love. 

Nick Burd and Gerri Hill

I just finished reading "Vast Fields of Ordinary" by Nick Burd. It's a very nice coming of age story about a young gay man, Dale, who is living in the suburbs with his parents.  He's been a play toy for a guy on the football team for a few years who refuses to even kiss him but is willing to do stuff to Dale.  It's not really completely clear but I got the impression that very little of what him and the football player, Pablo did together was really for Dale's benefit other than the fact that Dale wanted to be with Pablo.  Dale finally gets tire of Pablo's game and meets Alex, a drug dealer who is his age and popular with the other kids in Alex's school.  Dale and Alex start seeing each other and for the first time Dale is with someone who wants to be with him as a lover and not just a sex on the side toy.  It's a very well written story. I really enjoyed it.  It's was also very insightful to what a young gay man goes through as he learns to co...
