I’ve not been good at keeping up this blog. I know. Call it life. So here’s a hodgepodge of various things going on in my life and some interesting links or whatever! 
I submitted the revised MARK OF THE MONSTER to 3 Seas Literary Agency. Cross your fingers for me. However, I’ve been MUCHO slacking on printing out my full manuscript and sending it to Kensington. Sigh. Slacker!
I’ve been spending my “free time” on something other than writing. But I’ll blog more about that at Writers At Play tomorrow.
If you’re good with numbers, it’s in your genes! (Which means my genes are quite lacking!)
Water Bears truly are indescructible! The question is — how does one actually die then??
And, as if we didn’t already know, there really are differences in the male and female brain!
And best quote from an article I’ve read:
The superfast evolution of the male dung beetle’s penis to wildly differing sizes in the same species could mean that new species appear within a few years rather than over millennia.

all weekend long…sigh. In a way, it was nice to not have that pull of I MUST CHECK MY EMAIL AND EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE WEB. I actually spent time in my garden, and with my kids, and washed some clothes.
On the other hand, AACCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!! It couldn’t have happened at a worse time! Friday was my BLOG DAY at Writers At Play and I never got the chance to respond to any comments! Now, several new posts have gone up over there. Plus, I had a reader from Australia email me about A TARNISHED HEART and I didn’t see it for several days.
Anyway, I had a signing at a friend’s house on Friday night. It was fun. Sold about nine books (both ATH and PRICE). I also got two new books in the mail to read – YAY! – and I’ll write about them once I finished reading. Other than that, I’m scurrying to read and catch up! Sorry I was MIA for the whole weekend!

Betty Hanawa is talking about her new release “Turquiose Dreams” – where the idea came from, how she wrote it in 14 days, and the constant push and encouragement she had from her friends (namely me and Tawny Weber).
Also, Marlene Urso has a very thought-provoking topic on Perception. She talks about how she’s read the same book various times throughout her life and how she reacted differently each time and learned something new with each read. This perception has also helped her with contest judges, knowing if they are not regular historical readers, their slant on judging her historical entry might be different. Great topic!
