I'm a Finalist!


I'm happy dancing! If you read my post a couple days ago, you'd see that I've been waiting on the results from the Linda Howard contest and I rec'd them late last night:

'When You Least Expect It'
is a finalist!!!

Wow! I'm so excited!

In the next few days I'll receive my entry back along with the judges' comments and I have a week or so to revise my entry, if I wish, taking their insights into consideration. Then I re-submit and wait for the final judging.

I'm not going to tell you who's the final judge, but she's from my target line at SH.

Happy dancing...

    Thanks, Kel. Yeah, the title is appropriate because this is only the second one I wrote when I was going on gut instinct without much technique involved.

    WAY TO GO ANITA!!!!!!! As I said in Seekerville, you and Cara and I are not competitors but allies in the quest to SELL!!

    Hey and I have an iTouch also. Love the sucker. I take it to work and listen to praise music all day long and on break I watch Michael Hague writing DVDs.

Prairie Wildlife Photos

These days, I'm busy working on the final draft of my historical romance, Emma's Outlaw , so I thought I'd give you some photos to check out. They are all of prairie wildlife in my area. Do you remember the afternoon JJ and I sat in the van on the empty dirt road with the suspicious looking dynamite box and waited for the Mountie? Well, these cowbirds kept us company. I had this photo in mind and just needed to wait for the cowbird to take flight. I waited. And, I waited. Then, I almost missed it because my arm was getting tired holding the camera in position and the bird decided to take off at the same moment I lowered the camera. About a quarter mile away on the same road but on a different day, I glanced at this familiar old bridge and saw a mule deer hiding underneath. As soon as my mind understood what I'd seen, I backed up to get a photo. The buck was still there--so still--that I thought it was a wooden silhouette like the ones I saw on hilltops along the hig...
