I'm not actually a big baseball fan. I was when I was younger, but now, on the rare occasions I do what a sports event it is tennis or college football.

Go Penn State.

Anyway, last night I was at an Atlantic League game. Somerset Patriots vs the Road Warriors. And it really started out very boring. No hits for the first few innings. The Road Warriors had a guy who could steal bases. He was unstoppable. A fast runner. So finally the Patriots score two runs on a hit. Two…

I've been around for few years and I've recieved my share of rejection letters.

I'm no longer bothered by form rejections. Not at all. I have a great critique group that gives me wonderful feedback so I know I don't completely suck. And I"ve sold three books.

But why does an agent think they can reject me then try to sell me something?

This is the first time I received a rejection and a list of books to read. This one was a color brochure about a book the agent…

We have a heat index of 100 her in NJ.

Whew. Knocks me out, but here I am blogging.

With a hot laptop on my lap. Yeah, I'm bright.

Anyway, don't you love when authors use the weather as another character in their story. I've tried, but all NJ has is humidity.

And road rage, but that's not weather.

The rainy days of Seattle make a neat back drop for a murder. The sultry nights of Miami make it a great place for chicklit.

I have a strange urge…

And a release date.

My paranormal romantic suspense will be released from Enspiren Press August 1.

Yes, this August.

I'm pretty psyched.

Here's the cover if I can figure out how to put it in here. It will be somewhere on this page.

Look for it!

Happy Day.

I recieved a rejection today that really is only a rejection if I choose to not take the editor's advice.

I actually liked what the editor had to say. It resonated with me and because I truly want my books to be their best I will take her advice and resubmit. Which she said I could do.

So it isn't really a rejection letter, but a revision letter with no guarantees.

But I'm still sad. Though I feel I shouldn't be.

And I know it will pass and by tomorrow I'll be…

My wallet is only so big and I end up with more receipts in it than bills.

Do stores really think that I will set and read them in a spare moment. If it's cash it goes in the trash. Hey that rhymed.

This seems like a pretty cool place to be.

I can write the books, but I'm just learning the ropes in terms of promotion.

But the internet is cool for these things. I'm sitting at my son's gymnastics class and posting a blog. Woo hoo. I love technology.

I don't have much to say this afternoon, but that won't last long. Thanks to all who have friended me.

I"ll be back later.
