Forgive me for the title. I was originally going to write "What's New" but then the chorus of an old Tom Jones song annoyingly wheedled into my head. And don't even ask me how I know that song - probably from a movie soundtrack or something like that.
Anyway, moving out of the conversational cul-du-sac that is Tom Jones and back to my original intent. . .
If you get the chance, check out the newest flash-fiction piece I have posted: The Ballad of Two Beauties. It is super quick, and was super fun to write. Let me know what you think.
Also, some potentially awesome news for my efforts in getting published: Barefoot Books, a children's publisher, is considering some of my children's stories. We are in correspondence, so nothing concrete, yet. And I must say, I have been living the past two weeks in pessemistic anxiety, expecting them to contact me with a polite but firm rejection letter, after all. I am not normally a pessemistic person, but I think we writers get conditioned to the rejection. On the up side, when and if a positive letter does come through (like the letter I received 4 weeks ago from Barefoot) a Sally Fields Oscar Winning moment gloriously rings true.
So, I shall keep you updated on how that goes.
Hopefully, they'll like me ;)

This title has got me singing Tom Jones, no thanks to you! :)
I hope that everything goes well with this publisher and that your book gets published. I can't wait to check out your most recent piece of flash fiction. As always, I enjoy your writing.
