What I've been up to

For the past few years people have been telling me that I should write a book...so I did. Actually I'm working on number three right now. The good news is that my second novel has been picked up by Jeanie Pantelakis, a literary agent at Sullivan Maxx Literary Agency. It's a promising step for me.

I just wanted to thank all of you for your support and encouragement over the past few years. Without your help and friendship, I don't think that I would have taken such a big step. A literary agent doesn't guarantee that I'll be published, but one can hope!

Anyway, that's why I've been so scarce around here. I haven't forgotten anyone. I still see everyone's posts in the reader each morning before I go to work. If it wasn't for you people, I would have never gotten this far...and I Sincerely mean that! See you soon!

Mike that's awesome news and I wish you all the best. I haven't actually written anything LONG enough to promote. I know writers that struggle for ever before an agent's interested in them, especially if they've never been published in an anthology or in some capacity. Good for you. Very happy for you
