Next leading man!

For my ongoing project involving a polo playing playboy billionaire, it occurred to me the leading man had to be someone with dashing goood looks, but not a prissy-looking individual with longish hair. What I wanted was an example of someone who looks as good in a city-slicker suit as when wearing polo gear. Methinks Mathew Chambers fits the bill perfectly, and believe me, he can do the dominant predatory male to perfection.











What do you think of my choice?

From short story writing to Novels!

Here I am blogging again, and so quickly after last post. How hard is the transition from short story writing (for anthologies)to that of full length novel?

Answer, damn hard work!

Yee gods, the world moves at one hell of a pace when your eyes are shut, too.

I've been reading guideline after guidelines on pitching blurbs to premise' and first chapters of completed novels.

How hard is that? Hard work!

How time consuming? Immense!

How well have I done with pitching? Varies: one reply positive and extremely helpful.

The rest: have yet to hear a reply. . .

So, the nail-biting continues. Well, not really, just getting down to more of the same is a writer's lot.
