So, TWRP rejected IA based on the children being an essential part of the story. After my initial anger, I realized that the story as is may just not be right for their company. The Distance was requested in full by the Champagne line is now under review. I hope it goes well. After the initial sting of rejection and outrage, I submitted a query to another romantica press, Amira. I queried early in the morning, and received a full request for the entire manuscript that night. I've sent it this evening, and impatiently await to hear a response, lol. I hope they like it. I hope it's not too hot, and just right for them. I don't use that bad of language, :) Anyhow, I'll keep you updated.
Oh, and we have a dog. His name is Ranger. he's a Weimaraner puppy. So cute and adorable, but very mischevious. His favorite delicacy is rocks. Yes, I said right. He eats rocks. All the Time.

Home, Sweet, Home
So, we are settled in our new home in GA. We live in Reidsville, which is actually 40 miles from post, but we have mad acres and a great country farm house to call our own. For the time being, anyhow. The rooms are huge, the ceilings are low, the floors are hardwood. Life is good. We bought a weimaraner, named Ranger, and he's a very active puppy. He's driving me nuts with his antics, but they are so cute, I almost forget to reprimand him when he does something wrong. He doens't have the light brown eyes like he should, he actually has gray eyes.
In other news, I finally heard back on The Distance. The editor at TWRP did not think the current version was for the WRP, but if I reworked the chapters, she would be happy to take another look at it. In a nutshell, that's good news! It means the story has potential. Anyhow, I said I would be willing to do so, which, I am doing.
Ivory's Addiction has been sent in for query, and I received the receipt email two days ago, and the SE emailed me today to say it has been logged into the Scarlet Line for review. This is good news. Hopefully we will hear back soon! :)
All in all, life is good, writing is good. I'm glad to call this beautiful country home, sweet, home.

So, I'm in GA...
After a painful drive to Fort Stewart (flooded roads, making U-turns at dead end swamps at 1 a.m.) we finally made it to GA. Well, here's what I know so far. Everywhere takes at least an hour to get to. We're staying at the Cheeri-O Motel, and though it's not great, it's alright. The base is huge. The roads are long, and straight! There are no hills whatsoever, and I'm already jumping back into writing. I'm wondering if at some point I can filter this location into my stories. Savannah is as expected, big and beautiful. I can't wait to go to the Old Historical District. My cats went nuts on the way down, and I got into a 'cat fight' with Pumpkin over her kennel! I got maimed, but she went in after a good chase. Oh, and we bought a new car and it's super fun to drive! Pontiac GTO which means it's really fast. So far, I've been doing a little writing. Trying to get some editing done on IA b/c I sent a query to the WRP and (crossing my fingers) hopefully they will like the query! Well, that's all that I can update for now as I live in a hotel room with three cats and the wind is howlin like a tornado is about to come upon us.
