A blog sponsored by a group of romance authors, Pink Fuzzy Slipper Writers, has invited the authors of the Class of '85 stories to come visit their blog site during the month of September. The invitation comes from a member of the Clo85 loop who is a member of the FPS blog. They are offering us many days/nights throughout the month!!!
A very, very generous act of kindness. On top of that, September is Last Rose of Summer month so the Class is being mentioned in the WRP newsletter.
Hopefully this will bring more business to the Class, WRP and FPS.
And then, out of the blue, I was given info so I could enter the cover for Those Who Wait in a contest.
Hot dog!

He is here! He is up! [on the DP website]. And for sale!!
Gee, I meant the title to infer Keenan is up on the DP website, capable of being purchased. Nothing sordid, though according to him . . . "at fifty, he's doing just fine, thank you very much. . ."
I have joined several author related blogspots and am in the process of lining up interviews.
This author promo stuff is hard.
Talk to you soon.

Update on The List
14,000 words. All came within a span of 4-5 days. Incredible.
My trick: Every night, I fell asleep while meditating over how to make it better. In the morning I opened the file and made changes I'd not consciously considered. No new scenes were created, but they were enhanced. What a blast this has been.
For one scene I brought in 4 characters from two other Class of '85 stories. I had fun; I think they did, also.

The List
While waiting for the DP editor to ask for edits on Those Who Wait, I wanted to create a story for the Class of '85, a series published by The Wild Rose Press featuring heroes and heroines who return to their 25th high school reunion.
Of all the stories submitted to the series, and there are some beauties, but none have featured revenge. That's when The List was conceived.
Fiona Agatha Thorpe, once known as Fat Aggie and Thunder Thighs, was tormented during her entire school life, K thru 12, because of her size--300+ pounds. Now more than half her former size and a successful modeling agent, Fee attends the reunion, list of names in hand, with two goals in mind: exact revenge on those who tormented her and perhaps find a few new models for her stable of large size and mature models, male and female.
Within hours three names are crossed off the piece of paper. By the end of the evening it is whittled down to one: Mick Dineen, ring leader of the gang who ran her favorite Miss Piggy nightie up the flag pole in front of school, casting a shadow--literally and figuratively--over Moving Up Day ceremonies.
Imagine Fee's surprise when she turns to the handsome man sitting beside her at an awards banquet, about to offer him a modeling contract, but he tells her needs to make amends first. Mickey Dineen, model gorgeous, modern day Paladin, fighting the good battle for those who lose to school yard bullies.
Who can take revenge against someone like this?

The contract is signed and sent!
I admit I was getting a tad nervous when the contract didn't arrive and I'd blabbed it all over my loops.
But--it arrived last night. It turns out this publisher is based in Alaska--which explains why I received responses to questions long LONG after close of business EST.
It is signed and will go out in today's mail. It's kind of fun contributing to cover art and blurbs and excerpts. Way cool.

Getting the lay of the land
Just so everyone is on the same page, the little ones pictured above and below are two of my grandchildren, Meredith Sinead [4] and Owen Liam [2]. They are among the brightest lights in my life.
I am blessed to have four gorgeous grandchildren who mean more to me than words will ever describe.
These particular pictures were taken in August 2010 immediately prior to a kiddie parade which kicked off the annual fireman's carnival in the kids' hometown in Western New York. Their mother, my daughter, made the costumes.
It rained of course. The adults were disappointed; the kids thought it was great--probably because it was hot as blazes and no thunder sounded.
Oh what a night
