Life is Good

Hi all! Phew. It's been some month:
1. No, I didn't get the chemistry job...
2. Yes, I did have a root canal, and my jaw still hurts from all those needles...
3. Yes, I'm having mysterious chest pains, not related to my heart, but it could be gall bladder trouble...
4. Yes, I'm going to my LeMoyne class reunion. Several of my suite mates are attending. I can't wait...
5. I killed the biggest spider I've ever seen, today. Massive. I get the chills thinking about it...
6. Decided not to teach summer school this year so I can sit by the pool and write more novels...
7. My son is coming home from college this week. Love you, Ricky!
8. My daughter will be working as an intern for the Oneida County District Attorney's office again this summer. Way-to-go, Erica! Fingers crossed that she gets an acceptance letter for law school soon. Love you too, sweetie...
9. My website is days away from launching, thanks to my multi-talented critique partner, Nicki Greenwood. (check out her blog at http://www.nickigreenwood.blogspot.com). I can't wait for you to see it!
10. Big news: I secured an appointment with Harlequin senior editor Brenda Chin, at our Romance Writers of America annual convention in Dallas. I'm going to pitch my contemporary romance, The Politics of Love, for the Blaze-line. Fingers crossed she requests a partial manuscript...
11. Eighty more days until the release of my e-book, Never My Love. Meantime, I strongly recommend my fellow Triskelion authors. There is something for every taste in reading. CHECK IT OUT: www.triskelion.com. And be sure to check out my fellow Central New York authors at: http://www.dm.net/~cnyrw/
12. I spent mother's day with my family at my sister's camp overlooking the Old Forge channel, and contemplating future novels. Life is good...
