Mope and Surrender
First, my mope: My Silhouette Desire manuscript got rejected yesterday. Via form letter. After 10 months. And my name was spelled wrong on the rejection. I had been telling everyone that even if it got rejected, I'd still feel ok because it got to a second read-through and that means it wasn't...

Book Review: Hattie Big Sky by Kirby Larson
I have to say first of all that I thought Hattie Big Sky was well-written and that the heroine was likable. It was also set in an interesting transitional historical time period, which I appreciated. I also liked the theme of trying to find a home, and the lesson that first you must be at home...

History
I am so proud to have been a part of tonight, and the historic election of Barack Obama. I usually don't get really political on this blog, but I gotta post and this is all I'm thinking about tonight. Obama is the first politician I've really believed in. I believe in his plans and politics,...
