The reason for my absence...

I haven't been blogging much lately and there is a very good reason for that:

We're moving!

My family and I will be moving in August and while that is a ways away, we still have a ton of preparation. Not to mention purging our household down to a manageable amount of "stuff."

I wanted to say that I love all of my followers (both official and unofficial) and can't thank you enough for the support you are all showing me.

Just a quick update on the status of my book: I am awaiting a response from the query critiquing agent to see if she chooses mine to review. I recently checked her blog to find that she had somehow managed to delete all the emails she had received since April 20th and was unable to recover them, so I resent it about a week ago. Meanwhile, I am expecting a reply to a snail mail query any day now. Other than that, I haven't been doing much. Writing is entirely too life consuming for me to resume my current project. It will have to wait until after the move.

But, thanks to all of you for believing in me. I hope I don't let you down.

Lastly, I would like to turn-on any new writers out there to a new-ish blog I found that always puts a smile on my face. A self-proclaimed "grumpy" agent comments on lines from some of the worst queries he/she has gotten. I wish I knew who this agent was...
