THE SUNSET FOR BAD MOON RISING

I opened the front door the other day and a package that had been propped up against the door fell over. The mail man had set it there when he delivered the mail. It was my novel, Bad Moon Rising, coming back with the response from The Nancy Ellis Agency. A Very Fast Response. I had enclosed a SASE for their response, but I hadn't sent enough postage for the return of the manuscript, but there it was in the original box on my front porch. I had expected them, if they passed on the novel, to recycle the manuscript.

A form letter inside the box told me that the novel wasn't for them. They passed. The agency who had recently gotten a black eye for not paying authors their advances and that had asked for my book had turned it down. Oh well.

This is to put in writing that my first full-length novel manuscript will be going in a drawer until further notice.

Prepare for updates on the young adult novel, currently entitled Godtalk. Before writing this post, I was able to crank out two more pages of chapter thirteen.

So here we go. . .
