The tree

Already six days into February.

What's been happening?

The writing has been going well. I got sidetracked reading a partial I am hoping to submit to Harlequin and on reading the first 20,000 words, I loved the story. I'd written it a while ago and I'm very happy with it, so I'll keep on with that, a small town romance set in the USA. I haven't submitted to a traditional publisher for a while, since I always get rejected, but I have high hopes for this one. And if it is rejected, I can see it doing well in my Frazier Bay series, a small town series set in New Zealand. I just have to change a few a lot of things.

My fourth book in the Dating Daisy series is coming along as well and I'm looking at a March release, while I work on another book as well.

In home news,    one of the boys chopped down a massive, massive tree so the back yard is filled with branches and leaves. While I will miss the privacy, the birds who loved the tree, especially the Tui, and of course the shade, it was a very damaging tree, and now that it is down I can look at what else to put up. I have a fig tree needing a decent home so it might go well there, although the roots on this thing are immense. We'll see. But in the meantime, here is good old Billie, enjoying the results!
