Ah, you've found my home on the web -- Charlotte's Web that is. Thanks
so very much for taking the time to drop by and visit. I hope you find a lot
to do while here. There are recipes, puzzles under Fun Stuff, information
for romance readers and writers, stuff just about me, and stuff listed
under Links just because I thought others would find it helpful or fun. So,
don't rush right off. Not yet. Stay a while, look around, I bet you'll find
something worth knowing or using. (Smile)

Updates & News
5 - 19 - 07 I talked to my agent on the phone and she's in New York again. This time she pitched the
non-fiction book of writing starters to an editor with St. Martin's Press. The editor must have been interested
because she has asked to see the complete. I figure I have a few months' worth of waiting ahead of me again. Ever
noticed in writing it's always hurry up and wait? (Smile)
3 - 18 - 07 So, my agent says that Random House didn't buy my non-fiction book. It's already off to the next
publisher, so the waiting can start all over again. I think I'm lucky I've spent so many years writing and dealing
with rejections. Those first few were painful. More than you could guess. But over time, I guess it's just like
anything else. You get used to it, learn to deal, and sooner or later get to a point where you simply shrug and move
on. In other words, if you are facing the sting of that first rejection, or even the first few, don't worry, it does get
better. It doesn't ever feel good, but it just becomes another bump in the word.
10 - 26 - 06 I heard from Elizabeth today. I guess the pitch worked. My non-fiction book for romance writers is
with an editor at Random House Reference! Wish me tons of luck. I've been around long enough in this business to
know that just because a proposal earns an editor's interest, that doesn't mean she will end up buying that book. I
also know that I probably have at least a couple of months or more of waiting before I hear anything for sure one
way or the other. With all the holidays just around the corner, I might have even longer to wait.
10 - 18 - 06 Elizabeth carried my book proposal to New York with her and she will be pitching it to some
editors. Writing a proposal for a non-fiction book was totally different than the fiction ones I've written before. I
hope I did a good enough job.
6 - 28 - 06 I signed with agent Elizabeth Pomada! She really liked my non-fiction book for writers.
6 - 13 - 06 After completing a book to help romance writers write, I've decided to query agent Elizabeth
Pomada of the Larsen-Pomada Literary Agency. I've heard really good things about the agency and her. She's
handled non-fiction on writing before and sold to good publishers. There's a double positive here. She also handles
romance and has a good record there too, so if I get ready to submit the romance novel I'm working on right now,
I could send it to her. It would be a win/win if she offers me a contract.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of
their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day
are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible."
~ T. E. Lawrence
