Hi L.J.:

Hey, I seem to recall hearing you say that you subscribe to Publisher's Lunch. I submitted an online application to them about a month ago now, for the free version, and haven't heard anything back yet. Do you know how long it takes? Thank you.

Thanks for the welcome! It is a great site.

Hi there lady! Thanks so much for adding me as a friend. I think this website is really unique! I feel as I move forward with my writing I'll learn so much.
Have a great week!

Thanks for the invite!

I checked out your blog & you are right about getting down to work early/first every day. Not that I would know, but every successful writer I have ever spoken with does exactly that. I am trying to change my ways & will use you as a mentor/example. Thanks for your words to me by the way.

I noticed we are both here at the same time so I should at least say Hi.

I'm a little 'sore' because I lived the familial lifestyle for 9.5 years with the father of my child, and then tried to make it work with another. I have been living as a single mother with joint custody and fortunately also an active father for the child. I don't mean to be offensively open & personal...That's just why I'm online on Sunday like this...I noticed that fortunately you are still living the family lifestyle. My son is twice as tall as he was in that photo.

I have 2 novels, short fiction, poetry and a relatively large quantity of nonfiction. I need a good agent and publishers and extensive direct marketing and networking...I like people...I don't want to do all this without involving people....Pleased to meet you...Writing samples available on request...Any advice re finding the second agent and publisher?

I hope you understand that I'm just responding to your comment that the complaints you got about your new novel were regarding the fundamentalist antagonist: why some people would consider it controversial.

Thanks for the add, L.J. and best of luck on your projects!

Hi LJ Sellers & thanks for being friends! Your book sounds very interesting (dead bodies & bible study?!) so does your personal data--till now I've been writing mostly comedy scripts too

Thanks for making the contact. Actually, my profile was created and somehow was deleted. So, I have to rebuild it. I'll have it back up in the next week.

Hi L.J. Thanks for the add! Your book sounds really good. Me thinks I might look into it. I see you also use Twitter. Me too! I'm following you now. Wait, that must sound really creepy to others I'm sure, but one fellow Twitterer to another, it makes perfect sense. We like alot of the same authors, too. I must say that great minds think alike. Don't be a stranger now, ya hear?

Hi. So what's the controversy you were talking about on Pat's website, please, regarding your book, please?

Thanks so much! I'm happy to be here!

L.J. thank you for the invite. I can't wait to read The Sex Club! I love the title. It reminds me of an idea I had for a book that just did not pan out for me. Margaret Atwood is one of my all time favorates. Have you read Alias Grace by Atwood. I loved it!

Great review, LJ. I hope your novel is a resounding success. Great title, too. Will check it out.

Best to you,

Pat Harrington - who is headed for "Sandy Pat's" on Antigua. Actually, that pix is taken on one of the five, very tiny islands that make up the village of Five Islands on Antigua in the Caribbean. Where I do serious research for Murder Visits Antigua.

I'm guest blogging today at Muderati. Check it out:

Thanks for the congrats, LJ. Super excited here about the release next year from Three Rivers.

Hi L.J. -- Thanks for your invite and welcome. This is a new experience for me. Good luck with your new book, too.
