Twilight

Oh, and I'll post about this book later.
All I have to say is I read over 300 pages in one day of Twilight. OMG!!! Awesome writer!!
I like her publishing success story too....so now she is one of my idols...(grin).....

Go buy this book if you haven't already. I stole this one from my daughter who has not read it, too bad for her.

Agent request

Wow, it's been awhile since I blogged.
Well, I just wanted to share with my buddies that I received a request from a agent on my sci-fi story GENUS.

Funny thing was I got the request on a monday, and then on tuesday I had to have surgery. (I'm okay, it was just girl stuff) Yep! That was fun. But, I got it out to them today, I think they said it takes maybe up to 2 months. Ok, not so bad. Now, I've got to get back to polishing up my voodoo story...It's calling me....and so is about 10 other stories....shhhh... quiet!!!

Wish me luck.

Jubilee Jambalaya Writers Conference - Houma, LA

Jubilee Jambalaya Writers Conference is a small conference, but one that is enjoyable. It is a good way to learn a few things on writing, publishing, marketing, etc. Check it out http://www.terrebonne.lib.la.us/writers ((now I don't work for them, I'm just spreading the news to newbie writers looking for a place to learn the trade.))

This year a few favorite authors will be there: Heather Graham, Erin McCarthy, Deborah LeBlanc, Kathy Love, Roxanne Becnel, Farrah Rochon, Laura Joh Rowland, F. Paul Wilson and many more talented authors. Many from the regional area too.

Now if you live near New Orleans there is also a RWA writers group which meets in Metairie every third Saturday. www.solawriters.org -- I've learned a great deal from these meetings.


See you there.
Dawn
