Hello!! I just made it back - thanks Sol! - and am testing the waters to see if I could post here. I tried to start a new thread without any luck, but that's a small matter. Just glad to be here. I might actually begin reposting my novel soon - I'd been revising anyway, so the big crash saved me the trouble of deleting. Anyway, a belated happy new year to all!  ~  Cathy

Yay! Congratulations!

Holy cow, Ray! I just haven't been on here in awhile, and came back to this! So sorry you had to go through that nightmare, but thank God you're on the mend. And you're absolutely right - masks, social distancing. Just makes sense. Keep getting better!  Cathy

Got it! Thanks!

I was looking for my old publisher, lol! If you Google "Rainstorm Press" he's still out there, but it does say "closed to submissions", so that's something. I actually liked the man behind the operation - super nice guy. Just, I believe, completely out of his depth.

Yay!! Congrats! I'm reading #4 now, and loving it!

Hellooooo All!! Yay for us! I just wanted share that I've only smoked 3 cigarettes today! A bit of background - many, many years ago (Am I old? No, I swear I'm not!) I was a two pack a day person. I've cut that down a ton over time, and now I only smoke when I am at station #2. For those of you who don't know me, I'm in EMS/firefighting. Anyway, I need cigarettes at station #2, lol, but that's the only place. Both of my stations are very rural, and sometimes they stay quiet (fingers crossed) and that allows me to be here on line so much of the time.  (Yes, I'm actually getting paid right now, and for 12 more hours tonight, as well!)  But . . .  only three cigarettes, people! I'm so happy to be here, and to have so many of you back, and today I feel really good about my writing again, and that's the goal, right?
Soooo, I am working on the 2nd version of my 2nd novel. I workshopped the first, Sowing Blind Faith, here on site, and eventually it was published by Rainstorm Press, under the title Sugar Man's Daughter, author name Lucy Crowe. That was a dream come true. But now I'm shooting for the stars, and I want to publish big. I lost track of most of you here, somewhere in the interim, but a while back, I got in touch with Bonnie and she just had a ton of fantastic suggestions. I'd finished book #2 and was querying like mad, and even had some requests from the Big Houses, only to be rejected. Bonnie got me back on track, and so far, so good. This new version is  . . . wow, just that. Almost everything changed completely, down to characters and place names. But I'm feeling really positive! This is fun!
Anyway, I am so looking forward to working with you guys again! This was always such an intelligent, incisive group, and I know great things are coming!

I posted mine her with points, since I am also posting in prime. Is that going to be a problem?

Whew, it's all better now! 5:30 came and I was still alive! Probably traumatized for life, but other than that, okay! I hope to never, ever have a day like this again.

Thanks! It's great to be here!
