A few weeks ago, I sent my editor at Harlequin my latest Amish inspirational romance manuscript with the working title "Adele's Redemption." We've also been discussing expanding my writing into non-Amish inspirational romances.
Today I got the loveliest email from the editor as follows: "Hi Patrice, just a head's up that I finished reading Adele's book, and I liked it very much. A lovely story of a woman's redemption! Thanks for your hard work on it! Looking forward to seeing the next Montana book proposal from you soon (and the non-Amish story ideas)!"
It's always nerve-wracking to send in a manuscript because one never knows how the editor will like it. Emails like this send me over the moon with relief and renewed enthusiasm.
Meanwhile Don just finished an article on drill bits for Backwoods Home Magazine, and we took photos to illustrate it. I'm also working on an article for BWH on chickens.
Yes, we've been writing!
This is wonderful (though no surprise)! Keep up the great work Patrice. KinCa
ReplyDeleteThe issues that drill bits have caused us in the past two days in trying to rig up a homemade irrigation system is truly remarkable. Perhaps the most remarkable thing is my husband has what must be 100 drill bits and we could not make any of them fit our purpose. Truly interested in Don’s article- and glad the writing is going so well for both of you!
ReplyDeleteRegarding chickens. I just stumbled across some videos about a solution of salt water to use in disinfecting coop, cages, and other chicken stuff. You just add salt to the water until the water is saturated, ( won't dissolve anymore) and use it as a spray. It dries out bacteria so it can't live. I think I'll try that this spring.
ReplyDeleteGlad your doing more writing too........need lots of reading material for me. I get all your books.
ReplyDeleteGood news indeed! Y'all have been busy!
