Tansy Meets Johnny.....

"What can I do for you ladies?” Hottie had some nice eyes; they sparkled and reminded me of the blue glass I used to find on the beach growing up. I tried not to sigh, I was smitten. This, unfortunately, is how it works for me and the opposite sex. I am either not at all attracted to them and can function completely like a normal person, or, well, basically the opposite happens. I am instantly sucked into an alternate universe of complete attraction, reduced to a non-verbal clumsy, and highly dysfunctional pile of goo. Fortunately, I have gotten past the slobbering that used to happen when I was in high school, thank god.

Decision Time

Okay, so I've decided that I'm going Rogue- doing things myself- in other words.... self publishing! Only, with a twist... I'm going to publish Tansy as an e-book while I work on my next novel.

She's all ready to go- and I figure in these tough economic times, why not be a risk taker! So, in the next few weeks, while I am on vacation back home, I will be formatting away and getting her up and going for an array of e-reader formats.

There is a new facebook page as well and as soon as I get cover art it will be there for the viewing! Stay tuned for more- back to the trenches!!

Revise.... revise... revise....

So here it is- almost May, a year after I said I was going to have this darn thing out and I think I've sent it to maybe 5 agents. And, now, I'm looking at all of these awesome folks who are self publishing.

So, I ask myself- should I or shouldn't I? Will I have success? Should I hunker down and cast that ol' net out there to see if any fish, er, agents, bite?

Or...do I use my massive talent (lol) at marketing and word of mouth to do a self publishing blitz?

Well, for now, I'm revising. Working over that familiar tome so that it will be at it's best, regardless of what I choose to do with it. I've got a better voice at the beginning - amazing how underdeveloped she was and how much unnecessary information was in the first thirty pages.

Besides that, I need to get busy on her next adventure. I know my turn is coming up for writing group so I guess I should get busy!
